  2. Critical speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_speed

    Both calculate an approximation of the first natural frequency of vibration, which is assumed to be nearly equal to the critical speed of rotation. The Rayleigh–Ritz method is discussed here. For a shaft that is divided into n segments, the first natural frequency for a given beam, in rad/s , can be approximated as:

  3. Choked flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choked_flow

    The choked velocity is a function of the upstream pressure but not the downstream. Although the velocity is constant, the mass flow rate is dependent on the density of the upstream gas, which is a function of the upstream pressure. Flow velocity reaches the speed of sound in the orifice, and it may be termed a sonic orifice.

  4. Dunkerley's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunkerley's_Method

    The whirling frequency of a symmetric cross section of a given length between two points is given by: = where: E = Young's modulus, I = second moment of area, m = mass of the shaft, L = length of the shaft between points.

  5. Terminal velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_velocity

    Settling velocity W s of a sand grain (diameter d, density 2650 kg/m 3) in water at 20 °C, computed with the formula of Soulsby (1997). When the buoyancy effects are taken into account, an object falling through a fluid under its own weight can reach a terminal velocity (settling velocity) if the net force acting on the object becomes zero.

  6. Critical velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_velocity

    Critical velocity may refer to Critical ionization velocity, relative velocity between a neutral gas and plasma at which the neutral gas will start to ionize; Speed of sound, at the throat of a rocket (otherwise known as throat velocity) Landau critical velocity, constant velocity of a superfluid equivalent to the bandgap width divided by the ...

  7. Isentropic nozzle flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isentropic_Nozzle_Flow

    Enthalpy-Entropy diagram of stagnation state. In fluid dynamics, a stagnation point is a point in a flow field where the local velocity of the fluid is zero. The isentropic stagnation state is the state a flowing fluid would attain if it underwent a reversible adiabatic deceleration to zero velocity.

  8. Critical embankment velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_embankment_velocity

    The critical velocity of sound just changes in a small range, although the air quality and the interaction between the jet flight and atmosphere affect the critical velocity. But the embankment including the filling layers and ground soil underneath surface is a typically random medium. [ 5 ]

  9. Souders–Brown equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Souders–Brown_equation

    Calculate the maximum allowable vapor velocity in the vessel by using the Souders–Brown equation: = where v is the maximum allowable vapor velocity in m/s ρ L is the liquid density in kg/m 3 ρ V is the vapor density in kg/m 3
