  2. Chlorine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorine

    Evaporation under reduced pressure allows it to be concentrated further to about 40%, but then it decomposes to perchloric acid, chlorine, oxygen, water, and chlorine dioxide. Its most important salt is sodium chlorate, mostly used to make chlorine dioxide to bleach paper pulp. The decomposition of chlorate to chloride and oxygen is a common ...

  3. Clausius–Clapeyron relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clausius–Clapeyron_relation

    One of the uses of this equation is to determine if a phase transition will occur in a given situation. Consider the question of how much pressure is needed to melt ice at a temperature below 0 °C. Note that water is unusual in that its change in volume upon melting is negative.

  4. Lift coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift_coefficient

    The lift coefficient C L is defined by [2] [3] = =, where is the lift force, is the relevant surface area and is the fluid dynamic pressure, in turn linked to the fluid density, and to the flow speed.

  5. Pressure coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_coefficient

    of zero indicates the pressure is the same as the freestream pressure. of one corresponds to the stagnation pressure and indicates a stagnation point. the most negative values of in a liquid flow can be summed to the cavitation number to give the cavitation margin. If this margin is positive, the flow is locally fully liquid, while if it is ...

  6. Reduced properties - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduced_properties

    In thermodynamics, the reduced properties of a fluid are a set of state variables scaled by the fluid's state properties at its critical point.These dimensionless thermodynamic coordinates, taken together with a substance's compressibility factor, provide the basis for the simplest form of the theorem of corresponding states.

  7. Vapour pressure of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapour_pressure_of_water

    The boiling point of water is the temperature at which the saturated vapor pressure equals the ambient pressure. Water supercooled below its normal freezing point has a higher vapor pressure than that of ice at the same temperature and is, thus, unstable. Calculations of the (saturation) vapor pressure of water are commonly used in meteorology.

  8. Centimetre or millimetre of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centimetre_or_millimetre...

    A centimetre of water [1] is a unit of pressure. It may be defined as the pressure exerted by a column of water of 1 cm in height at 4 °C (temperature of maximum density) at the standard acceleration of gravity, so that 1 cmH 2 O (4°C) = 999.9720 kg/m 3 × 9.80665 m/s 2 × 1 cm = 98.063754138 Pa ≈ 98.0638 Pa, but conventionally a nominal maximum water density of 1000 kg/m 3 is used, giving ...

  9. Chloride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloride

    A chloride ion is a structural component of some proteins; for example, it is present in the amylase enzyme. For these roles, chloride is one of the essential dietary mineral (listed by its element name chlorine). Serum chloride levels are mainly regulated by the kidneys through a variety of transporters that are present along the nephron. [19]
