For a semicircle with a diameter of a + b, the length of its radius is the arithmetic mean of a and b (since the radius is half of the diameter). The geometric mean can be found by dividing the diameter into two segments of lengths a and b, and then connecting their common endpoint to the semicircle with a segment perpendicular to the diameter ...
The hydraulic diameter is the equivalent circular configuration with the same circumference as the wetted perimeter. The area of a circle of radius R is . Given the area of a non-circular object A, one can calculate its area-equivalent radius by setting = or, alternatively:
Semicircle: one of the two possible arcs determined by the endpoints of a diameter, taking its midpoint as centre. In non-technical common usage it may mean the interior of the two-dimensional region bounded by a diameter and one of its arcs, that is technically called a half-disc. A half-disc is a special case of a segment, namely the largest one.
The large semicircle has unit diameter, BC = 1–r, and AB = r = AB/AC. In geometry , an Archimedean circle is any circle constructed from an arbelos that has the same radius as each of Archimedes' twin circles .
The hydraulic diameter, D H, is a commonly used term when handling flow in non-circular tubes and channels. Using this term, one can calculate many things in the same way as for a round tube. When the cross-section is uniform along the tube or channel length, it is defined as [1] [2] =, where
a = the radius of the base circle h = the height of the paboloid from the base cicle's center to the edge Solid ellipsoid: a, b, c = the principal semi-axes of the ...
Namely, if is the radius of large enclosing semicircle, and is the radius of the small central semicircle, then the area of the salinon is: [4] = (+). Arbelos [ edit ]
For all these radius ratios a compact packing is known that achieves the maximum possible packing fraction (above that of uniformly-sized discs) for mixtures of discs with that radius ratio. [9] All nine have ratio-specific packings denser than the uniform hexagonal packing, as do some radius ratios without compact packings. [10]
