  2. Pressure angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_angle

    The pressure angle is equal to the profile angle at the standard pitch circle and can be termed the "standard" pressure angle at that point. Standard values are 14.5 and 20 degrees. [ 2 ] Earlier gears with pressure angle 14.5 were commonly used because the cosine is larger for a smaller angle, providing more power transmission and less ...

  3. Oblique shock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblique_shock

    This chart shows the oblique shock angle, β, as a function of the corner angle, θ, for a few constant M 1 lines. The red line separates the strong and weak solutions. The blue line represents the point when the downstream Mach number becomes sonic. The chart assumes =1.4, which is valid for an ideal diatomic gas.

  4. Normal shock tables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_shock_tables

    In aerodynamics, the normal shock tables are a series of tabulated data listing the various properties before and after the occurrence of a normal shock wave. [1] With a given upstream Mach number, the post-shock Mach number can be calculated along with the pressure, density, temperature, and stagnation pressure ratios.

  5. Shock polar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_polar

    Shock polar in the pressure ratio-flow deflection angle plane for a Mach number of 1.8 and a specific heat ratio 1.4. The minimum angle, , which an oblique shock can have is the Mach angle = ⁡ (/), where is the initial Mach number before the shock and the greatest angle corresponds to a normal shock.

  6. List of gear nomenclature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_gear_nomenclature

    Lead angle is 90° to the helix angle between the helical tooth face and an equivalent spur tooth face. For the same lead, the lead angle is larger for smaller gear diameters. It is understood to be measured at the standard pitch diameter unless otherwise specified. A spur gear tooth has a lead angle of 90°, and a helix angle of 0°. See ...

  7. Involute gear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Involute_gear

    The pressure angle is the acute angle between the line of action and a normal to the line connecting the gear centers. The pressure angle of the gear varies according to the position on the involute shape, but pairs of gears must have the same pressure angle in order for the teeth to mesh properly, so specific portions of the involute must be ...

  8. Angle of repose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_of_repose

    Angle of repose of a heap of sand Sandpile from the Matemateca collection. The angle of repose, or critical angle of repose, [1] of a granular material is the steepest angle of descent or dip relative to the horizontal plane on which the material can be piled without slumping. At this angle, the material on the slope face is on the verge of ...

  9. Indicator diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indicator_diagram

    An indicator diagram is a chart used to measure the thermal, or cylinder, performance of reciprocating steam and internal combustion engines and compressors. [1] An indicator chart records the pressure in the cylinder versus the volume swept by the piston, throughout the two or four strokes of the piston which constitute the engine, or ...
