  2. Darcy–Weisbach equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darcy–Weisbach_equation

    Pressure has dimensions of energy per unit volume, therefore the pressure drop between two points must be proportional to the dynamic pressure q. We also know that pressure must be proportional to the length of the pipe between the two points L as the pressure drop per unit length is a constant.

  3. Impact pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impact_pressure

    In compressible fluid dynamics, impact pressure (dynamic pressure) is the difference between total pressure (also known as pitot pressure or stagnation pressure) and static pressure. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] In aerodynamics notation, this quantity is denoted as q c {\displaystyle q_{c}} or Q c {\displaystyle Q_{c}} .

  4. Drop impact - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drop_impact

    As the drop recedes to the impact point, the kinetic energy of the collapsing drop causes the liquid to squeeze upward, forming a vertical liquid column. The case where drop stays partially on the surface but launches one or more drops at its top is known as partial rebound, whereas the case where the entire drop leaves the solid surface due to ...

  5. Moody chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moody_chart

    In engineering, the Moody chart or Moody diagram (also Stanton diagram) is a graph in non-dimensional form that relates the Darcy–Weisbach friction factor f D, Reynolds number Re, and surface roughness for fully developed flow in a circular pipe.

  6. External ballistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_ballistics

    This change in point of impact has two important implications. Firstly, estimating the distance to the target is critical at longer ranges, because the difference in the point of impact between 400 and 500 yd (460 m) is 25–32 in (depending on zero), in other words if the shooter estimates that the target is 400 yd away when it is in fact 500 ...

  7. Choked flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choked_flow

    pressure drop across constriction (unit force per unit area) The above equations calculate the steady state mass flow rate for the pressure and temperature existing in the upstream pressure source. If the gas is being released from a closed high-pressure vessel, the above steady state equations may be used to approximate the initial mass flow rate.

  8. Compressor characteristic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor_characteristic

    Surge points are the peak points on the characteristic curves (as in Figure 5.) left of which the pressure generated by the compressor is less than the pipe pressure and these points initiates the surge cycle. These points on the curves are shown in the fig. by point S. [4]

  9. Impact (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impact_(mechanics)

    In mechanics, an impact is when two bodies collide. During this collision, both bodies decelerate. The deceleration causes a high force or shock, applied over a short time period. A high force, over a short duration, usually causes more damage to both bodies than a lower force applied over a proportionally longer duration.
