  2. Composition C - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_C

    The velocity of detonation is about 7600 m/s (25,000 feet per second). Composition C-3 consists of 77%–85% cyclonite ( RDX ) and 15%–23% gel made out of liquid nitro compounds (e.g. liquid DNT and small amount of NT ) and nitrocellulose or butyl phthalate and nitrocellulose.

    Mosteller pointed out that his formula holds only if the density is treated as a constant for all humans. Lipscombe, following Mosteller's reasoning, observed that the formulas obtained by Fujimoto, Shuter and Aslani, Takahira, and Lipscombe are suggestive of 8 / 900 × W 4 / 9 × H 2 / 3 {\displaystyle {8/900}\times W^{4/9}\times H^{2/3 ...

  4. Table of explosive detonation velocities - Wikipedia

    This is a compilation of published detonation velocities for various high explosive compounds. Detonation velocity is the speed with which the detonation shock wave travels through the explosive.

    A woman who is 36–24–36 (91.5–61–91.5) at 5 ft 3 in (1.60 m) tall looks different from a woman who is 36–24–36 at 5 ft 8 in (1.73 m) tall. Since the latter woman's figure has greater distance between measuring points, she will likely appear thinner than her former counterpart, again, even though they share the same measurements.

  6. Steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel

    The density of steel varies based on the alloying constituents but usually ranges between 7,750 and 8,050 kg/m 3 (484 and 503 lb/cu ft), or 7.75 and 8.05 g/cm 3 (4.48 and 4.65 oz/cu in). [ 8 ] Even in a narrow range of concentrations of mixtures of carbon and iron that make steel, several different metallurgical structures, with very different ...

  7. Energy efficiency in transport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_efficiency_in_transport

    Cunard stated that Queen Elizabeth 2 travelled 49.5 feet per imperial gallon of diesel oil (3.32 m/L or 41.2 ft/US gal), and that it had a passenger capacity of 1777. [129] Thus carrying 1777 passengers we can calculate an efficiency of 16.7 passenger miles per imperial gallon (16.9 L/100 p·km or 13.9 p·mpg –US ).

  8. Pontiac Fiero - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontiac_Fiero

    The Pontiac Fiero is a rear mid-engine, light sports car manufactured and marketed by Pontiac for model years 1984 – 1988. Intended as an economical commuter car with modest performance aspirations, it was Pontiac's first two-seater since their 1926 to 1938 coupes, and the first rear mid-engine mass-produced car by any American manufacturer.

  9. Stainless steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stainless_steel

    There is a secondary market that recycles usable scrap for many stainless steel markets. The product is mostly coil, sheet, and blanks. This material is purchased at a less-than-prime price and sold to commercial quality stampers and sheet metal houses. The material may have scratches, pits, and dents but is made to the current specifications.
