CertainTeed plant in Norwood, Massachusetts. CertainTeed operates 65 manufacturing plants in the United States and Canada. [2] Certainteed manufactures products for four industries : Roofing, Siding, Insulation, Gypsum and Ceilings. [3] It exports building products to more than 50 countries.
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.

Specific modulus is a materials property consisting of the elastic modulus per mass density of a material. It is also known as the stiffness to weight ratio or specific stiffness . High specific modulus materials find wide application in aerospace applications where minimum structural weight is required.
For example, he speculated on the potential consequences of the ratio of the electron radius to its mass. Most notably, in a 1929 paper he set out an argument based on the Pauli exclusion principle and the Dirac equation that fixed the value of the reciprocal of the fine-structure constant as 𝛼 −1 = 16 + 1 / 2 × 16 × (16–1) = 136 .

The law of definite proportion was given by Joseph Proust in 1797. [2]I shall conclude by deducing from these experiments the principle I have established at the commencement of this memoir, viz. that iron like many other metals is subject to the law of nature which presides at every true combination, that is to say, that it unites with two constant proportions of oxygen.
In other words, passive gravitational mass must be proportional to inertial mass for objects, independent of their material composition if the weak equivalence principle is obeyed. The dimensionless Eötvös -parameter or Eötvös ratio η ( A , B ) {\displaystyle \eta (A,B)} is the difference of the ratios of gravitational and inertial masses ...
