  2. Helix angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helix_angle

    Cutting a single helical groove into a screw-stock cylinder yields what is referred to as a single-thread screw. Similarly, one may construct a double-thread screw provided that the helix angle of the two cuts is the same, and that the second cut is positioned in the uncut material between the grooves of the first.

  3. Fuller calculator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuller_calculator

    The Fuller calculator, sometimes called Fuller's cylindrical slide rule, is a cylindrical slide rule with a helical main scale taking 50 turns around the cylinder. This creates an instrument of considerable precision – it is equivalent to a traditional slide rule 25.40 metres (1,000 inches) long.

  4. Del in cylindrical and spherical coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Del_in_cylindrical_and...

    This article uses the standard notation ISO 80000-2, which supersedes ISO 31-11, for spherical coordinates (other sources may reverse the definitions of θ and φ): . The polar angle is denoted by [,]: it is the angle between the z-axis and the radial vector connecting the origin to the point in question.

  5. Right circular cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_circular_cylinder

    The equilateral cylinder is characterized by being a right circular cylinder in which the diameter of the base is equal to the value of the height (geratrix). [ 4 ] Then, assuming that the radius of the base of an equilateral cylinder is r {\displaystyle r\,} then the diameter of the base of this cylinder is 2 r {\displaystyle 2r\,} and its ...

  6. Cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylinder

    The height (or altitude) of a cylinder is the perpendicular distance between its bases. The cylinder obtained by rotating a line segment about a fixed line that it is parallel to is a cylinder of revolution. A cylinder of revolution is a right circular cylinder. The height of a cylinder of revolution is the length of the generating line segment.

  7. Line-cylinder intersection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line-cylinder_intersection

    Green line has two intersections. Yellow line lies tangent to the cylinder, so has infinitely many points of intersection. Line-cylinder intersection is the calculation of any points of intersection, given an analytic geometry description of a line and a cylinder in 3d space. An arbitrary line and cylinder may have no intersection at all.

  8. Boundary layer thickness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_layer_thickness

    The boundary layer thickness, , is the distance normal to the wall to a point where the flow velocity has essentially reached the 'asymptotic' velocity, .Prior to the development of the Moment Method, the lack of an obvious method of defining the boundary layer thickness led much of the flow community in the later half of the 1900s to adopt the location , denoted as and given by

  9. Hydraulic clearance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_clearance

    Leakage in narrow clearance, spool valve. Hydraulic clearance. Flow in narrow clearances are of vital importance in hydraulic system component design. The flow in a narrow circular clearance of a spool valve can be calculated according to the formula below if the height is negligible compared to the width of the clearance, such as most of the clearances in hydraulic pumps, hydraulic motors ...
