  2. Maximum bubble pressure method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_bubble_pressure_method

    (σ: surface tension, ΔP max: maximum pressure drop, R cap: radius of capillary) Later, after the maximum pressure, the pressure of the bubble decreases and the radius of the bubble increases until the bubble is detached from the end of a capillary and a new cycle begins. This is not relevant to determine the surface tension. [3]

  3. Drawdown (hydrology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drawdown_(hydrology)

    In hydrology, there are two similar but distinct definitions in use for the word drawdown: In subsurface hydrogeology , drawdown is the reduction in hydraulic head observed at a well in an aquifer , typically due to pumping a well as part of an aquifer test or well test .

  4. Ideal gas law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideal_gas_law

    Isotherms of an ideal gas for different temperatures. The curved lines are rectangular hyperbolae of the form y = a/x. They represent the relationship between pressure (on the vertical axis) and volume (on the horizontal axis) for an ideal gas at different temperatures: lines that are farther away from the origin (that is, lines that are nearer to the top right-hand corner of the diagram ...

  5. Barlow's formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barlow's_formula

    3 Any location that has 46 or more buildings intended for human occupancy or any area where the pipeline lies within 100 yards (91 meters) of a building or a small, well-defined outdoor area (such as a playground, recreation area, outdoor theater, or place of public assembly) that is occupied by 20 or more persons at least five days a week for ...

  6. Aquifer test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquifer_test

    Typically this equation is used to find the average T and S values near a pumping well, from drawdown data collected during an aquifer test. This is a simple form of inverse modeling, since the result ( s ) is measured in the well, r , t , and Q are observed, and values of T and S which best reproduce the measured data are put into the equation ...

  7. Langmuir–Blodgett trough - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Langmuir–Blodgett_trough

    The idea of a Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) film was first proven feasible in 1917 when Irving Langmuir (Langmuir, 1917) showed that single water-surface monolayers could be transferred to solid substrates. 18 years later, Katharine Blodgett made an important scientific advance when she discovered that several of these single monolayer films could be stacked on top of one another to make multilayer ...

  8. Kozeny–Carman equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kozeny–Carman_equation

    The Kozeny–Carman equation (or Carman–Kozeny equation or Kozeny equation) is a relation used in the field of fluid dynamics to calculate the pressure drop of a fluid flowing through a packed bed of solids. It is named after Josef Kozeny and Philip C. Carman. The equation is only valid for creeping flow, i.e. in the slowest limit of laminar ...

  9. Pressure-correction method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure-correction_method

    The pressure value that is attempted to compute, is such that when plugged into momentum equations a divergence-free velocity field results. The mass imbalance is often also used for control of the outer loop. The name of this class of methods stems from the fact that the correction of the velocity field is computed through the pressure-field.
