   Chemical engineering, material science, mechanics (A scale to show the energy needed for detaching two solid particles) [13] [14] Cost of transport: COT = energy efficiency, economics (ratio of energy input to kinetic motion) Damping ratio

3. Scale analysis (statistics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_analysis_(statistics)

   The item-total correlation approach is a way of identifying a group of questions whose responses can be combined into a single measure or scale. This is a simple approach that works by ensuring that, when considered across a whole population, responses to the questions in the group tend to vary together and, in particular, that responses to no individual question are poorly related to an ...

   In synoptic scale we can expect horizontal velocities about U = 10 1 m.s −1 and vertical about W = 10 −2 m.s −1. Horizontal scale is L = 10 6 m and vertical scale is H = 10 4 m. Typical time scale is T = L/U = 10 5 s. Pressure differences in troposphere are ΔP = 10 4 Pa and density of air ρ = 10 0 kg⋅m −3. Other physical properties ...

5. Dimensionless quantity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensionless_quantity

   Quantities having dimension one, dimensionless quantities, regularly occur in sciences, and are formally treated within the field of dimensional analysis.In the 19th century, French mathematician Joseph Fourier and Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell led significant developments in the modern concepts of dimension and unit.

6. Dimensionless numbers in fluid mechanics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensionless_numbers_in...

   Dimensionless numbers (or characteristic numbers) have an important role in analyzing the behavior of fluids and their flow as well as in other transport phenomena. [1] They include the Reynolds and the Mach numbers, which describe as ratios the relative magnitude of fluid and physical system characteristics, such as density, viscosity, speed of sound, and flow speed.

7. Nondimensionalization - Wikipedia

   One important use is in the analysis of control systems. One of the simplest characteristic units is the doubling time of a system experiencing exponential growth , or conversely the half-life of a system experiencing exponential decay ; a more natural pair of characteristic units is mean age/ mean lifetime , which correspond to base e rather ...

8. Scale (analytical tool) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_(analytical_tool)

   [2] [3] This analytical tool is central to multi-scale analysis (see for example, MuSIASEM, land-use analysis). [4] For example, on at the scale of analysis of a given population of zebras, the number of predators (e.g. lions) determines the number of preys that survives after hunting, while at the scale of analysis of the ecosystem, the ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-dimensionalization_and...

   This technique can ease the analysis of the problem at hand, and reduce the number of free parameters. Small or large sizes of certain dimensionless parameters indicate the importance of certain terms in the equations for the studied flow. This may provide possibilities to neglect terms in (certain areas of) the considered flow.
