  2. Monofilament fishing line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monofilament_fishing_line

    DuPont made public in 1938 that their company had invented nylon. [1] This new invention was the first synthetic fiber, fabrics that are commonly used in textiles today. [2] In 1939, DuPont began marketing nylon monofilament fishing lines; however, braided Dacron lines remained the most used and popular fishing line for the next two decades, as early monofilament line was very stiff or "wiry ...

  3. Dynamic similarity (Reynolds and Womersley numbers)

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_similarity...

    The Reynolds and Womersley Numbers are also used to calculate the thicknesses of the boundary layers that can form from the fluid flow’s viscous effects. The Reynolds number is used to calculate the convective inertial boundary layer thickness that can form, and the Womersley number is used to calculate the transient inertial boundary thickness that can form.

  4. Moody chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moody_chart

    where is the density of the fluid, is the average velocity in the pipe, is the friction factor from the Moody chart, is the length of the pipe and is the pipe diameter. The chart plots Darcy–Weisbach friction factor f D {\displaystyle f_{D}} against Reynolds number Re for a variety of relative roughnesses, the ratio of the mean height of ...

  5. Braided fishing line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braided_fishing_line

    Due to the minimal stretch of braided line, hard-hitting fish will frequently cause the line to break. [5] Thus it is very important to set the drag on reels on very low values. Braided fishing lines are very flexible and can be easier to cast long distances. Braided line typically floats, and as such, is a common choice for topwater rigs, etc.

    Size steps between gauges range from 0.001 inches (0.025 mm) between high gauge numbers to 0.046 inches (1.2 mm) between the two lowest gauge numbers and do not correspond to a particular mathematical pattern, although for the most part the steps get smaller with increasing gauge number. [3]

    The Pitch Circle Diameter (PCD) is the diameter of that circle that passes through the center of all the bolt holes or wheel bolts or wheel rim holes or studs. The best example is Flanges, there are multiple holes in the Flanges, the circle through the center of these holes is known as the pitch circle, and the diameter of this circle is known ...

  9. Kozeny–Carman equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kozeny–Carman_equation

    is the diameter of the volume equivalent spherical particle; V 0 {\displaystyle V_{\mathrm {0} }} is the superficial or "empty-tower" velocity which is directly proportional to the average volumetric fluid flux in the channels (q), and porosity ( ε {\displaystyle \mathbf {\varepsilon } } ).
