  2. Tint, shade and tone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tint,_shade_and_tone

    When mixing colored light (additive color models), the achromatic mixture of spectrally balanced red, green, and blue (RGB) is always white, not gray or black. When we mix colorants, such as the pigments in paint mixtures, a color is produced which is always darker and lower in chroma, or saturation, than the parent colors. This moves the mixed ...

  3. Hiding power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiding_power

    The direct measurements are still in demand where the real-world constraints of an uneven paint application are present, for example, the painting of buildings inevitably involves unevenness of the paint thickness due to the texture of a brush or a roller. The resulting perceived opacity is sometimes called an applied hiding power. ASTM D5150 ...

  4. Saturation vapor density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturation_vapor_density

    The saturation vapor density (SVD) is the maximum density of water vapor in air at a given temperature. [1] The concept is related to saturation vapor pressure (SVP). It can be used to calculate exact quantity of water vapor in the air from a relative humidity (RH = % local air humidity measured / local total air humidity possible ) Given an RH percentage, the density of water in the air is ...

  5. Psychrometrics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychrometrics

    The saturation curve is at 100% RH, while dry air is at 0% RH. Humidity ratio: These are the horizontal lines on the chart. Humidity ratio is usually expressed as mass of moisture per mass of dry air (pounds or kilograms of moisture per pound or kilogram of dry air, respectively).

  6. Room air distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room_air_distribution

    Displacement ventilation systems supply air directly to the occupied zone.The air is supplied at low velocities to cause minimal induction and mixing. This system is used for ventilation and cooling of large high spaces, such as auditorium and atria, where energy may be saved if only the occupied zone is treated rather than trying to control the conditions in the entire space.

  7. HSL and HSV - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSL_and_HSV

    Fig. 1. HSL (a–d) and HSV (e–h). Above (a, e): cut-away 3D models of each. Below: two-dimensional plots showing two of a model's three parameters at once, holding the other constant: cylindrical shells (b, f) of constant saturation, in this case the outside surface of each cylinder; horizontal cross-sections (c, g) of constant HSL lightness or HSV value, in this case the slices halfway ...

  8. Mixing ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixing_Ratio

    In atmospheric chemistry, mixing ratio usually refers to the mole ratio r i, which is defined as the amount of a constituent n i divided by the total amount of all other constituents in a mixture: = The mole ratio is also called amount ratio. [2]

  9. Wood drying - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_drying

    If these layers are allowed to dry much below the fibre saturation point while the interior is still saturated, stresses (called drying stresses) are set up because the shrinkage of the outer layers is restricted by the wet interior (Keey et al., 2000). Rupture in the wood tissues occurs, and consequently splits and cracks occur if these ...
