  2. Newton's law of cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_law_of_cooling

    The statement of Newton's law used in the heat transfer literature puts into mathematics the idea that the rate of heat loss of a body is proportional to the difference in temperatures between the body and its surroundings. For a temperature-independent heat transfer coefficient, the statement is:

  3. Thermal pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_Pressure

    Figure 1: Thermal pressure as a function of temperature normalized to A of the few compounds commonly used in the study of Geophysics. [3]The thermal pressure coefficient can be considered as a fundamental property; it is closely related to various properties such as internal pressure, sonic velocity, the entropy of melting, isothermal compressibility, isobaric expansibility, phase transition ...

  4. Orders of magnitude (pressure) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(pressure)

    Pressure due to direct impact of a strong breeze (~28 mph or 45 km/h) [27] [28] [31] 120 Pa Pressure from the weight of a U.S. quarter lying flat [32] [33] 133 Pa 1 torr ≈ 1 mmHg [34] ±200 Pa ~140 dB: Threshold of pain pressure level for sound where prolonged exposure may lead to hearing loss [citation needed] ±300 Pa ±0.043 psi

  5. Non-dimensionalization and scaling of the Navier–Stokes ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-dimensionalization_and...

    For the case of flow without heat transfer, the non-dimensionalized Navier–Stokes equation depends only on the Reynolds Number and hence all physical realizations of the related experiment will have the same value of non-dimensionalized variables for the same Reynolds Number. [3]

  6. Non-equilibrium thermodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-equilibrium_thermodynamics

    The suitable relationship that defines non-equilibrium thermodynamic state variables is as follows. When the system is in local equilibrium, non-equilibrium state variables are such that they can be measured locally with sufficient accuracy by the same techniques as are used to measure thermodynamic state variables, or by corresponding time and space derivatives, including fluxes of matter and ...

  7. Dimensionless numbers in fluid mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensionless_numbers_in...

    Dimensionless numbers (or characteristic numbers) have an important role in analyzing the behavior of fluids and their flow as well as in other transport phenomena. [1] They include the Reynolds and the Mach numbers, which describe as ratios the relative magnitude of fluid and physical system characteristics, such as density, viscosity, speed of sound, and flow speed.

  8. Grashof number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grashof_number

    However, above expression, especially the final part at the right hand side, is slightly different from Grashof number appearing in literature. Following dimensionally correct scale in terms of dynamic viscosity can be used to have the final form. = Writing above scale in Gr gives;

  9. Pressure coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_coefficient

    In fluid dynamics, the pressure coefficient is a dimensionless number which describes the relative pressures throughout a flow field. The pressure coefficient is used in aerodynamics and hydrodynamics. Every point in a fluid flow field has its own unique pressure coefficient, C p.
