  2. Screw turbine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_turbine

    The volume of water that enters an Archimedes screw turbine depends on the inlet water depth and the screw's rotation speed. To estimates the total flow rate passing through an Archimedes screw turbine for different rotation speeds (ω) and inlet water levels the following equation could be used:

  3. Gorlov helical turbine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorlov_helical_turbine

    The Gorlov helical turbine (GHT) is a water turbine evolved from the Darrieus turbine design by altering it to have helical blades/foils. Water turbines take kinetic energy and translate it into electricity. It was patented in a series of patents from September 19, 1995 [1] to July 3, 2001 [2] and won 2001 ASME Thomas A. Edison.

  4. Surface Water and Ocean Topography - Wikipedia

    Associated with this mask will be water level elevations with an accuracy of 10 cm (3.9 in) for water bodies whose non-vegetated surface area exceeds 1 km 2 (0.39 sq mi). The slope accuracy is 1.7 cm/km (1.1 in/mi) over a maximum 10 km (6.2 mi) of flow distance. [7]

  5. Miles per hour - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miles_per_hour

    Miles per hour (mph, m.p.h., MPH, or mi/h) is a British imperial and United States customary unit of speed expressing the number of miles travelled in one hour. It is used in the United Kingdom , the United States , and a number of smaller countries, most of which are UK or US territories, or have close historical ties with the UK or US.

  6. Electromagnetic propulsion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_propulsion

    Electromagnetic propulsion is utilized in transportation systems to minimize friction and maximize speed over long distances. This has mainly been implemented in high-speed rail systems that use a linear induction motor to power trains by magnetic currents. It has also been utilized in theme parks to create high-speed roller coasters and water ...

  7. Pyroclastic flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyroclastic_flow

    Pyroclastic flows sweep down the flanks of Mayon Volcano, Philippines, in 2018. A pyroclastic flow (also known as a pyroclastic density current or a pyroclastic cloud) [1] is a fast-moving current of hot gas and volcanic matter (collectively known as tephra) that flows along the ground away from a volcano at average speeds of 100 km/h (30 m/s; 60 mph) but is capable of reaching speeds up to ...

  8. Hydrogeology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogeology

    The very shallow flow of water in the subsurface (the upper 3 m) is pertinent to the fields of soil science, agriculture, and civil engineering, as well as to hydrogeology. The general flow of fluids (water, hydrocarbons , geothermal fluids, etc.) in deeper formations is also a concern of geologists, geophysicists , and petroleum geologists .

  9. StarTram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StarTram

    In the first moments after exiting the launch tube, the heating rate with an optimal nose shape is around 30 kW/cm 2 at the stagnation point, though much less over most of the nose, but drops below 10 kW/cm 2 within a few seconds. [1] Transpiration water cooling is planned, briefly consuming up to ≈ 100 liters/m 2 of water per second. Several ...
