If both these balls also result in ten pins knocked down each, a total of 30 points (10 + 10 + 10) is awarded for the frame.
Chapman–Jouguet condition. The Chapman–Jouguet condition holds approximately in detonation waves in high explosives. It states that the detonation propagates at a velocity at which the reacting gases just reach sonic velocity (in the frame of the leading shock wave) as the reaction ceases. [1][2] David Chapman [3] and Émile Jouguet [4 ...
The Souders–Brown equation (named after Mott Souders and George Granger Brown [ 1 ][ 2 ]) has been a tool for obtaining the maximum allowable vapor velocity in vapor–liquid separation vessels (variously called flash drums, knockout drums, knockout pots, compressor suction drums and compressor inlet drums). It has also been used for the same ...
Stopping power. Stopping power is the ability of a weapon – typically a ranged weapon such as a firearm – to cause a target (human or animal) to be incapacitated or immobilized. Stopping power contrasts with lethality in that it pertains only to a weapon's ability to make the target cease action, regardless of whether or not death ...
