  2. Hydraulic jumps in rectangular channels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_Jumps_in...

    The height of the hydraulic jump, similar to length, is useful to know when designing waterway structures like settling basins or spillways. The height of the hydraulic jump is simply the difference in flow depths prior to and after the hydraulic jump. The height can be determined using the Froude number and upstream energy. Equations:

  3. Hydraulic jump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_jump

    Hydraulic jump characteristics [7] [8] [13] [15] Amount upstream flow is supercritical (i.e., prejump Froude Number) Ratio of height after to height before jump Descriptive characteristics of jump Fraction of energy dissipated by jump [11] ≤ 1.0: 1.0: No jump; flow must be supercritical for jump to occur: none 1.0–1.7: 1.0–2.0: Standing ...

  4. Young–Laplace equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young–Laplace_equation

    The pressure jump across this surface is related to the radius and the surface tension γ by =. This may be shown by writing the Young–Laplace equation in spherical form with a contact angle boundary condition and also a prescribed height boundary condition at, say, the bottom of the meniscus.

  5. Boiling-point elevation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling-point_elevation

    In terms of chemical potential, at the boiling point, the liquid and gas phases have the same chemical potential. Adding a nonvolatile solute lowers the solvent’s chemical potential in the liquid phase, but the gas phase remains unaffected. This shifts the equilibrium between phases to a higher temperature, elevating the boiling point.

  6. Rankine–Hugoniot conditions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rankine–Hugoniot_conditions

    A schematic diagram of a shock wave situation with the density , velocity , and temperature indicated for each region.. The Rankine–Hugoniot conditions, also referred to as Rankine–Hugoniot jump conditions or Rankine–Hugoniot relations, describe the relationship between the states on both sides of a shock wave or a combustion wave (deflagration or detonation) in a one-dimensional flow in ...

  7. Jurin's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jurin's_Law

    Jurin's law, or capillary rise, is the simplest analysis of capillary action—the induced motion of liquids in small channels [1] —and states that the maximum height of a liquid in a capillary tube is inversely proportional to the tube's diameter.

  8. Scale height - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_height

    Using the ideal gas law and the hydrostatic equilibrium equation, gives: ¯ which has the solution = ⁡ (()) where is the gas mass density at the midplane of the disk at a distance r from the center of the star and is the disk scale height with = ¯ (/ ) (/) (/) (¯ /) with the solar mass, the astronomical unit and the atomic mass unit.

  9. Temperature jump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature_Jump

    The temperature jump method is a technique used in chemical kinetics for the measurement of very rapid reaction rates.It is one of a class of chemical relaxation methods pioneered by the German physical chemist Manfred Eigen in the 1950s.
