  2. Cross section (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_section_(geometry)

    The term cylinder can also mean the lateral surface of a solid cylinder (see cylinder (geometry)). If a cylinder is used in this sense, the above paragraph would read as follows: A plane section of a right circular cylinder of finite length [ 6 ] is a circle if the cutting plane is perpendicular to the cylinder's axis of symmetry, or an ellipse ...

  3. Sauter mean diameter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sauter_mean_diameter

    In fluid dynamics, Sauter mean diameter (SMD) is an average measure of particle size.It was originally developed by German scientist Josef Sauter in the late 1920s. [1] [2] It is defined as the diameter of a sphere that has the same volume/surface area ratio as a particle of interest.

  4. On the Sphere and Cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Sphere_and_Cylinder

    The ratio of the volume of a sphere to the volume of its circumscribed cylinder is 2:3, as was determined by Archimedes. The principal formulae derived in On the Sphere and Cylinder are those mentioned above: the surface area of the sphere, the volume of the contained ball, and surface area and volume of the cylinder.

  5. List of second moments of area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_second_moments_of_area

    The following is a list of second moments of area of some shapes. The second moment of area, also known as area moment of inertia, is a geometrical property of an area which reflects how its points are distributed with respect to an arbitrary axis.

  6. Annulus (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annulus_(mathematics)

    As a corollary of the chord formula, the area bounded by the circumcircle and incircle of every unit convex regular polygon is π /4. The area of an annulus is determined by the length of the longest line segment within the annulus, which is the chord tangent to the inner circle, 2d in the accompanying diagram.

  7. Sphere–cylinder intersection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphere–cylinder_intersection

    Viviani's curve as intersection of a sphere and a cylinder. In the case = +, the cylinder and sphere are tangential to each other at point (,,). The intersection resembles a figure eight: it is a closed curve which intersects itself. The above parametrization becomes

  8. Gurney equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gurney_equations

    While the imploding cylinder equations are fundamentally similar to the general equation for asymmetrical sandwiches, the geometry involved (volume and area within the explosive's hollow shell, and expanding shell of detonation product gases pushing inwards and out) is more complicated, as the equations demonstrate.

  9. O'Neill cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O'Neill_cylinder

    Each cylinder has six equal-area stripes that run the length of the cylinder; three are transparent windows, three are habitable "land" surfaces. Furthermore, an outer agricultural ring, twenty miles (32 km) in diameter, rotates at a different speed to support farming. The habitat's industrial manufacturing block is located in the middle, to ...
