  2. Although a common classroom experiment is often explained this way, [438] Bernoulli's principle only applies within a flow field, and the air above and below the paper is in different flow fields. [439] The paper rises because the air follows the curve of the paper and a curved streamline will develop pressure differences perpendicular to the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kozeny–Carman_equation

    The equation was derived by Kozeny (1927) [1] and Carman (1937, 1956) [2] [3] [4] from a starting point of (a) modelling fluid flow in a packed bed as laminar fluid flow in a collection of curving passages/tubes crossing the packed bed and (b) Poiseuille's law describing laminar fluid flow in straight, circular section pipes.

    The newspapers the Star and Telegram joined into the system, laying pipes. [34] In the 1960s, Lockheed and MIT with the United States Department of Commerce conducted feasibility studies on a vactrain system powered by ambient atmospheric pressure and "gravitational pendulum assist" to connect cities on the country's East Coast. [32]

  5. Pascal's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal's_law

    Pressure in water and air. Pascal's law applies for fluids. Pascal's principle is defined as: A change in pressure at any point in an enclosed incompressible fluid at rest is transmitted equally and undiminished to all points in all directions throughout the fluid, and the force due to the pressure acts at right angles to the enclosing walls.

  6. Washburn's equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washburn's_equation

    where is the sum over the participating pressures, such as the atmospheric pressure , the hydrostatic pressure and the equivalent pressure due to capillary forces . η {\displaystyle \eta } is the viscosity of the liquid, and ϵ {\displaystyle \epsilon } is the coefficient of slip, which is assumed to be 0 for wetting materials.

  7. Transport phenomena - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_phenomena

    In fluid systems described in terms of temperature, matter density, and pressure, it is known that temperature differences lead to heat flows from the warmer to the colder parts of the system; similarly, pressure differences will lead to matter flow from high-pressure to low-pressure regions (a "reciprocal relation").

  8. Pressure experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_experiment

    Pressure experiment are necessary because substances behave differently at different pressures. For example, water boils at a lower temperature at lower pressures. The equipment used for pressure experiments depends on whether the pressure is to be increased or decreased and by how much.

  9. Hydraulic engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_engineering

    In a fluid at rest, there exists a force, known as pressure, that acts upon the fluid's surroundings. This pressure, measured in N/m 2, is not constant throughout the body of fluid. Pressure, p, in a given body of fluid, increases with an increase in depth. Where the upward force on a body acts on the base and can be found by the equation:
