    As would be expected, an accurate estimation of the kinetic energy loss by a projectile is always important in determining the ballistic waves. — Lee, Longoria, and Wilson The rigorous calculations of Lee et al. require knowing the drag coefficient and frontal area of the penetrating projectile at every instant of the penetration.

    Heat transfer is the natural process of moving energy to or from a system, other than by work or the transfer of matter. In a diathermal system, the internal energy can only be changed by the transfer of energy as heat: Δ U s y s t e m = Q . {\displaystyle \Delta U_{\rm {system}}=Q.}

    Nevertheless, assuming this to be the case and assuming the flow is steady so that the net change in the energy is zero, = where ΔE 1 and ΔE 2 are the energy entering through A 1 and leaving through A 2, respectively. The energy entering through A 1 is the sum of the kinetic energy entering, the energy entering in the form of potential ...

    Thus, the ratio of the kinetic energy to the absolute temperature of an ideal monatomic gas can be calculated easily: per mole: 12.47 J/K; per molecule: 20.7 yJ/K = 129 μeV/K; At standard temperature (273.15 K), the kinetic energy can also be obtained: per mole: 3406 J; per molecule: 5.65 zJ = 35.2 meV.

  6. Energy cascade - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_cascade

    The transfer of energy from the low wavenumbers to the high wavenumbers is the energy cascade. This transfer brings turbulence kinetic energy from the large scales to the small scales, at which viscous friction dissipates it. In the intermediate range of scales, the so-called inertial subrange, Kolmogorov's hypotheses lead to the following ...

    Conduction heat flux q k for ideal gas is derived with the gas kinetic theory or the Boltzmann transport equations, and the thermal conductivity is =, -, where u f 2 1/2 is the RMS (root mean square) thermal velocity (3k B T/m from the MB distribution function, m: atomic mass) and τ f-f is the relaxation time (or intercollision time period ...

  8. Transport phenomena - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_phenomena

    There are some notable similarities in equations for momentum, energy, and mass transfer [7] which can all be transported by diffusion, as illustrated by the following examples: Mass: the spreading and dissipation of odors in air is an example of mass diffusion. Energy: the conduction of heat in a solid material is an example of heat diffusion.

  9. Kerma (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    In radiation physics, kerma is an acronym for "kinetic energy released per unit mass" (alternately, "kinetic energy released in matter", [1] "kinetic energy released in material", [2] or "kinetic energy released in materials" [3]), defined as the sum of the initial kinetic energies of all the charged particles liberated by uncharged ionizing radiation (i.e., indirectly ionizing radiation such ...
