  2. Coupling constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupling_constant

    The coupling constant determines the magnitude of the part with respect to the part (or between two sectors of the interaction part if several fields that couple differently are present). For example, the electric charge of a particle is a coupling constant that characterizes an interaction with two charge-carrying fields and one photon field ...

  3. Hazen–Williams equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hazen–Williams_equation

    The Hazen–Williams equation is an empirical relationship that relates the flow of water in a pipe with the physical properties of the pipe and the pressure drop caused by friction. It is used in the design of water pipe systems [1] such as fire sprinkler systems, [2] water supply networks, and irrigation systems.

  4. Water supply and sanitation in the Philippines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_supply_and...

    Agricultural water management in the Philippines is primarily focused on irrigation. The country has 3.126 million hectares of irrigable land, 50% (1.567 million hectares) of which already has irrigation facilities. 50% of irrigated areas are developed and operated by the government through the National Irrigation System (NIS). 36% is developed by the government and operated by irrigators ...

  5. Available water capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Available_water_capacity

    It is also known as available water content (AWC), profile available water (PAW) [2] or total available water (TAW). The concept, put forward by Frank Veihmeyer and Arthur Hendrickson, [ 3 ] assumed that the water readily available to plants is the difference between the soil water content at field capacity ( θ fc ) and permanent wilting point ...

  6. Hydraulic conductivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_conductivity

    This procedure allows water to move through the soil under a steady state head condition while the volume of water flowing through the soil specimen is measured over a period of time. By knowing the volume Δ V of water measured in a time Δ t , over a specimen of length L and cross-sectional area A , as well as the head h , the hydraulic ...

  7. Coupling (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupling_(physics)

    Examples of gluon coupling. Particles which interact with each other are said to be coupled. This interaction is caused by one of the fundamental forces, whose strengths are usually given by a dimensionless coupling constant. In quantum electrodynamics, this value is known as the fine-structure constant α, approximately

  8. Discharge coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discharge_coefficient

    In a nozzle or other constriction, the discharge coefficient (also known as coefficient of discharge or efflux coefficient) is the ratio of the actual discharge to the ideal discharge, [1] i.e., the ratio of the mass flow rate at the discharge end of the nozzle to that of an ideal nozzle which expands an identical working fluid from the same initial conditions to the same exit pressures.

  9. Water balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_balance

    The water balance is also referred to as a water budget. Developing water budgets is a fundamental activity in the science of hydrology. According to the US Geological Survey: [4] An understanding of water budgets and underlying hydrologic processes provides a foundation for effective water-resource and environmental planning and management.
