A pattress or pattress box or fitting box (in the United States and Canada, electrical wall switch box, electrical wall outlet box, electrical ceiling box, switch box, outlet box, electrical box, etc.) is the container for the space behind electrical fittings such as power outlet sockets, light switches, or fixed light fixtures.
In fluid dynamics, the Darcy friction factor formulae are equations that allow the calculation of the Darcy friction factor, a dimensionless quantity used in the Darcy–Weisbach equation, for the description of friction losses in pipe flow as well as open-channel flow.
If the value of the friction factor is 0.064, then the Darcy friction factor is plotted in the Moody diagram. Note that the nonzero digits in 0.064 are the numerator in the formula for the laminar Darcy friction factor: f D = 64 / Re . If the value of the friction factor is 0.016, then the Fanning friction factor is plotted in the Moody ...
English: The Darcy friction factor versus Reynolds Number for 10 < Re < 10E8 for smooth pipe and a range of values of relative roughness ε/D. Data are from Nikuradse (1932, 1933), Colebrook (1939), and McKeon (2004).
The purpose of this article was to be a repository for various formulae for the friction factor. It provides little or no explanation of what the friction factor is or how it is used. The Darcy–Weisbach equation article contains information which may be of more interest to one who is seeking general information about the Darcy friction factor.
Fanning friction factor: f: fluid mechanics (fraction of pressure losses due to friction in a pipe; 1/4th the Darcy friction factor) [13] Fourier number: Fo = heat transfer, mass transfer (ratio of diffusive rate versus storage rate) Froude number: Fr
An engineering drawing of a Wimshurst machine, from Hawkins Electrical Guide Wimshurst machine in operation Quadruple sector-less Wimshurst machine. The Wimshurst machine or Wimshurst influence machine is an electrostatic generator, a machine for generating high voltages developed between 1880 and 1883 by British inventor James Wimshurst (1832–1903).
An electrostatic generator, or electrostatic machine, is an electrical generator that produces static electricity, or electricity at high voltage and low continuous current. The knowledge of static electricity dates back to the earliest civilizations, but for millennia it remained merely an interesting and mystifying phenomenon , without a ...
