  2. Hydraulic head - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_head

    In fluid dynamics, head is a concept that relates the energy in an incompressible fluid to the height of an equivalent static column of that fluid. From Bernoulli's principle, the total energy at a given point in a fluid is the kinetic energy associated with the speed of flow of the fluid, plus energy from static pressure in the fluid, plus energy from the height of the fluid relative to an ...

  3. Standard step method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Step_Method

    In this case, hydrostatic relationships developed for uniform flow still apply. Examples of this include the backwater behind an in-stream structure (e.g. dam, sluice gate, weir, etc.), when there is a constriction in the channel, and when there is a minor change in channel slope.

  4. Tmcft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tmcft

    Mettur Dam capacity: 93.4 Tmcft Tmcft , ( Tmc ft ), ( TMC ), ( tmc ) is the abbreviation of thousand million cubic feet (1,000,000,000 = 10 9 = 1 billion ), commonly used in India in reference to volume of water in a reservoir [ 1 ] or river flow.

  5. Flow net - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_net

    The method consists of filling the flow area with stream and equipotential lines, which are everywhere perpendicular to each other, making a curvilinear grid.Typically there are two surfaces (boundaries) which are at constant values of potential or hydraulic head (upstream and downstream ends), and the other surfaces are no-flow boundaries (i.e., impermeable; for example the bottom of the dam ...

  6. Damköhler numbers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damköhler_numbers

    From the general mole balance on some species , where for a CSTR steady state and perfect mixing are assumed, + = + = = Assuming a constant volumetric flow rate , which is the case for a liquid reactor or a gas phase reaction with no net generation of moles,

  7. Center of pressure (fluid mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_of_pressure_(fluid...

    The total force on the dam is then the integral of the pressure multiplied by the width of the dam as a function of the depth. The center of pressure is located at the centroid of the triangular shaped pressure field 2 3 {\displaystyle {\tfrac {2}{3}}} from the top of the water line.

  8. Capacity factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacity_factor

    Feasibility calculations may be affected by seasonality. For example in Finland, capacity factor during the cold winter months is more than double compared to July. [6] While the annual average in Finland is 29.5%, [6] the high demand for heating energy correlates with the higher capacity factor during the winter.

  9. Discharge (hydrology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discharge_(hydrology)

    In hydrology, discharge is the volumetric flow rate (volume per time, in units of m 3 /h or ft 3 /h) of a stream.It equals the product of average flow velocity (with dimension of length per time, in m/h or ft/h) and the cross-sectional area (in m 2 or ft 2). [1]
