  2. Cylinder stress - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylinder_stress

    The hoop stress equation for thin shells is also approximately valid for spherical vessels, including plant cells and bacteria in which the internal turgor pressure may reach several atmospheres. In practical engineering applications for cylinders (pipes and tubes), hoop stress is often re-arranged for pressure, and is called Barlow's formula.

  3. Barlow's formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barlow's_formula

    Barlow's formula (called "Kesselformel" [1] in German) relates the internal pressure that a pipe [2] can withstand to its dimensions and the strength of its material. This approximate formula is named after Peter Barlow, an English mathematician. [3] = Cylinder, where

  4. Boyle's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boyle's_law

    where P is the pressure of the gas, V is the volume of the gas, and k is a constant for a particular temperature and amount of gas. Boyle's law states that when the temperature of a given mass of confined gas is constant, the product of its pressure and volume is also constant. When comparing the same substance under two different sets of ...

  5. Potential flow around a circular cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potential_flow_around_a...

    The pressure distribution over the front and rear sides are identical, leading to the peculiar property of having zero drag on the cylinder, a property known as d'Alembert's paradox. Unlike an ideal inviscid fluid, a viscous flow past a cylinder, no matter how small the viscosity, will acquire a thin boundary layer adjacent to the surface of ...

  6. Compression ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_ratio

    Absolute cylinder pressure is used to calculate the dynamic compression ratio, using the following formula: = where is a polytropic value for the ratio of specific heats for the combustion gases at the temperatures present (this compensates for the temperature rise caused by compression, as well as heat lost to the cylinder)

  7. Hagen–Poiseuille equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hagen–Poiseuille_equation

    Δp is the pressure difference between the two ends, L is the length of pipe, μ is the dynamic viscosity, Q is the volumetric flow rate, R is the pipe radius, A is the cross-sectional area of pipe. The equation does not hold close to the pipe entrance. [8]: 3 The equation fails in the limit of low viscosity, wide and/or short pipe.

  8. Ideal gas law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideal_gas_law

    A simple consequence of this proportionality is that on a hot summer day, the propane tank pressure will be elevated, and thus propane tanks must be rated to withstand such increases in pressure. The state of an amount of gas is determined by its pressure, volume, and temperature. The modern form of the equation relates these simply in two main ...

  9. Thermal equation of state of solids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_equation_of_state...

    At ambient pressure, P=0 GPA is known, so, the volume, pressure, and temperature are all given. Then, authors [9] predict the pressure value from the given (V, T) from pressure-dependent thermal expansion equation of state. The predicted pressures match with the known experimental value of 0 GPa, see in Figure 2.
