  2. TNT equivalent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNT_equivalent

    A kiloton of TNT can be visualized as a cube of TNT 8.46 metres (27.8 ft) on a side. The "megaton (of TNT equivalent)" is a unit of energy equal to 4.184 petajoules (4.184 × 10 15 J). [3] The kiloton and megaton of TNT equivalent have traditionally been used to describe the energy output, and hence the destructive power, of a nuclear weapon.

  3. 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.

  4. Table of explosive detonation velocities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_explosive...

    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.

  5. 7.62×54mmR - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7.62×54mmR

    The 7N14 round is loaded with a 9.8 g (151.2 gr) projectile containing a sharp hardened steel penetrator to improve penetration which is fired with an average muzzle velocity of 830 m/s (2,723 ft/s), for a muzzle energy of 3,375 J (2,489 ft⋅lbf).

  6. 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 ).

  7. Body mass index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_mass_index

    For example, a 152.4 cm (5 ft 0 in) tall person at an ideal body weight of 48 kg (106 lb) gives a normal BMI of 20.74 and CI of 13.6, while a 200 cm (6 ft 7 in) tall person with a weight of 100 kg (220 lb) gives a BMI of 24.84, very close to an overweight BMI of 25, and a CI of 12.4, very close to a normal CI of 12.

  8. Parshall flume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parshall_flume

    The width of the throat determines the flume size; 22 standardized sizes have been developed, ranging from 1 in to 50 ft (0.005 ft 3 /s to 3,280 ft 3 /s). A venturi flume is similar to the Parshall flume, without the contoured base, but the cross section is usually rectangular, the inlet shorter, and there is a general taper on the outlet ...

  9. Minute and second of arc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minute_and_second_of_arc

    A minute of arc, arcminute (arcmin), arc minute, or minute arc, denoted by the symbol ′, is a unit of angular measurement equal to ⁠ 1 / 60 ⁠ of one degree. [1] Since one degree is ⁠ 1 / 360 ⁠ of a turn, or complete rotation, one arcminute is ⁠ 1 / 21 600 ⁠ of a turn.
