  2. Submerged specific gravity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submerged_specific_gravity

    Submerged specific gravity is a dimensionless measure of an object's buoyancy when immersed in a fluid.It can be expressed in terms of the equation = where stands for "submerged specific gravity", is the density of the object, and is the density of the fluid.

  3. Relative density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_density

    A United States Navy Aviation boatswain's mate tests the specific gravity of JP-5 fuel. Relative density, also called specific gravity, [1] [2] is a dimensionless quantity defined as the ratio of the density (mass of a unit volume) of a substance to the density of a given reference material.

  4. Archimedes number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes_number

    The Archimedes number is applied often in the engineering of packed beds, which are very common in the chemical processing industry. [3] A packed bed reactor, which is similar to the ideal plug flow reactor model, involves packing a tubular reactor with a solid catalyst, then passing incompressible or compressible fluids through the solid bed. [3]

  5. Displacement (fluid) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Displacement_(fluid)

    Measurement of volume by displacement, (a) before and (b) after an object has been submerged. The amount by which the liquid rises in the cylinder (∆V) is equal to the volume of the object. In fluid mechanics , displacement occurs when an object is largely immersed in a fluid , pushing it out of the way and taking its place.

  6. On Floating Bodies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_Floating_Bodies

    Heath called it "a veritable tour de force which must be read in full to be appreciated." [ 5 ] The book contains a detailed investigation of the stable equilibrium positions of floating right paraboloids of various shapes and relative densities when floating in a fluid of greater specific gravity, according to geometric and hydrostatic variations.

  7. Hydrostatic weighing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrostatic_weighing

    The procedure, pioneered by Behnke, Feen and Welham as means to later quantify the relation between specific gravity and the fat content, [1] is based on Archimedes' principle, which states that: The buoyant force which water exerts on an immersed object is equal to the weight of water that the object displaces.

  8. Sediment transport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sediment_transport

    where R is the submerged specific gravity of the sediment. The second assumption is that the particle Reynolds number is high. This typically applies to particles of gravel-size or larger in a stream, and means the critical shear stress is constant.
