  2. Goff–Gratch equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goff–Gratch_equation

    log refers to the logarithm in base 10 e * is the saturation water vapor pressure T is the absolute air temperature in kelvins T st is the steam-point (i.e. boiling point at 1 atm.) temperature (373.15 K) e * st is e * at the steam-point pressure (1 atm = 1013.25 hPa) Similarly, the correlation for the saturation water vapor pressure over ice is:

  3. Saturable absorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturable_absorption

    At sufficiently high incident light intensity, the ground state of a saturable absorber material is excited into an upper energy state at such a rate that there is insufficient time for it to decay back to the ground state before the ground state becomes depleted, causing the absorption to saturate.

  4. Volume solid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_solid

    This is an important concept when using paint industrially to calculate the cost of painting. [1] It can be said that it is the real volume of paint. Here is the formula by which one can calculate the volume solid of paint, (Total sum by volume of each solid ingredient in paint x 100%)/ Total sum by volume of each ingredient in paint.

  5. Hydraulic conductivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_conductivity

    the rate of rise of the water level in the hole is recorded; the K-value is calculated from the data as: [8] = where: K is the horizontal saturated hydraulic conductivity (m/day) H is the depth of the water level in the hole relative to the water table in the soil (cm): H t = H at time t; H o = H at time t = 0

  6. Moisture vapor transmission rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moisture_vapor...

    Typical rates in aluminium foil laminates may be as low as 0.001 g/m 2 /day, whereas the rate in fabrics can measure up to several thousand g/m 2 /day. [citation needed] Often, barrier testing is conducted on a sheet of material. Calculations based on that can be useful when designing completed structures, clothing, and packages.

  7. Degree of saturation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degree_of_saturation

    Degree of saturation may refer to: Degree of saturation (earth sciences), a ratio of liquid to the total volume of voids in a porous material;

  8. Properties of concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_concrete

    Concrete has a very low coefficient of thermal expansion, and as it matures concrete shrinks. All concrete structures will crack to some extent, due to shrinkage and tension. Concrete which is subjected to long-duration forces is prone to creep. The density of concrete varies, but is around 2,400 kilograms per cubic metre (150 lb/cu ft). [1]

  9. Kubelka–Munk theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kubelka–Munk_theory

    In optics, the Kubelka–Munk theory devised by Paul Kubelka [1] [2] and Franz Munk, is a fundamental approach to modelling the appearance of paint films. As published in 1931, [3] the theory addresses "the question of how the color of a substrate is changed by the application of a coat of paint of specified composition and thickness, and especially the thickness of paint needed to obscure the ...
