  2. Rotameter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotameter

    A rotameter is a device that measures the volumetric flow rate of fluid in a closed tube. [ 1 ] It belongs to a class of meters called variable-area flowmeters , which measure flow rate by allowing the cross-sectional area the fluid travels through to vary, causing a measurable effect.

  3. Yates's correction for continuity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yates's_correction_for...

    Yates's correction should always be applied, as it will tend to improve the accuracy of the p-value obtained. [ citation needed ] However, in situations with large sample sizes, using the correction will have little effect on the value of the test statistic, and hence the p-value.

  4. Thorpe tube flowmeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorpe_Tube_Flowmeter

    A Thorpe tube flowmeter, a type of variable-area flowmeter, or a rotameter, is an instrument used to directly measure the flow rate of a gas in medical instruments. It consists of a connection to a gas source, a needle valve opened and closed by turning an attached dial for control of flow rate, a float resting in a clear tapered tube, and an ...

  5. Flow measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_measurement

    A rotameter is an example of a variable area meter, where a weighted "float" rises in a tapered tube as the flow rate increases; the float stops rising when area between float and tube is large enough that the weight of the float is balanced by the drag of fluid flow. A kind of rotameter used for medical gases is the Thorpe tube flowmeter ...

  6. Pressure-correction method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure-correction_method

    Pressure-correction method is a class of methods used in computational fluid dynamics for numerically solving the Navier-Stokes equations normally for incompressible flows. Common properties [ edit ]

  7. Roark's Formulas for Stress and Strain - Wikipedia

    It also features expanded tables and cases, improved notations and figures within the tables, consistent table and equation numbering, and verification of correction factors. The formulas are organized into tables in a hierarchical format: chapter, table, case, subcase, and each case and subcase is accompanied by diagrams.

  8. Tape correction (surveying) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tape_correction_(surveying)

    The correction is added to to obtain the corrected distance: d = L + C t {\displaystyle d=L+C_{t}} For common tape measurements, the tape used is a steel tape with coefficient of thermal expansion C equal to 0.000,011,6 units per unit length per degree Celsius change.

  9. Compressor map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor_map

    The basis for using corrected parameters on the map is mach number kinematic similarity. Corrected flow and speed define mach numbers through the compressor and flow angles onto the blades using velocity triangles. Velocity triangles allow flows to be transferred between different reference frames.
