  2. Fanning friction factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanning_friction_factor

    f is the local Fanning friction factor (dimensionless); τ is the local shear stress (units of pascals (Pa) = kg/m 2, or pounds per square foot (psf) = lbm/ft 2); q is the bulk dynamic pressure (Pa or psf), given by: = ρ is the density of the fluid (kg/m 3 or lbm/ft 3) u is the bulk flow velocity (m/s or ft/s)

  3. Cumulative distribution function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumulative_distribution...

    Cumulative distribution function for the exponential distribution Cumulative distribution function for the normal distribution. In probability theory and statistics, the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of a real-valued random variable, or just distribution function of , evaluated at , is the probability that will take a value less than or equal to .

  4. Volume correction factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_Correction_Factor

    That is, observed temperatures above 60 °F (or the base temperature used) typically correlate with a correction factor below "1", while temperatures below 60 °F correlate with a factor above "1". This concept lies in the basis for the kinetic theory of matter and thermal expansion of matter , which states as the temperature of a substance ...

  5. Darcy friction factor formulae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darcy_friction_factor_formulae

    f stands for the Darcy friction factor. Its value depends on the flow's Reynolds number Re and on the pipe's relative roughness ε / D. The log function is understood to be base-10 (as is customary in engineering fields): if x = log(y), then y = 10 x. The ln function is understood to be base-e: if x = ln(y), then y = e x.

  6. Drag equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_equation

    drag force F d. Using the algorithm of the Buckingham π theorem, these five variables can be reduced to two dimensionless groups: drag coefficient c d and; Reynolds number Re. That this is so becomes apparent when the drag force F d is expressed as part of a function of the other variables in the problem:

  7. RC time constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RC_time_constant

    The time constant is related to the RC circuit's cutoff frequency f c, by = = or, equivalently, = = where resistance in ohms and capacitance in farads yields the time constant in seconds or the cutoff frequency in hertz (Hz).

  8. Faraday constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_constant

    F = ⁠ N A / 1/e ⁠ = 9.648 533 212 331 001 84 × 10 4 C⋅mol −1. One common use of the Faraday constant is in electrolysis calculations. One can divide the amount of charge (the current integrated over time) by the Faraday constant in order to find the chemical amount of a substance (in moles) that has been electrolyzed.

  9. Capacity factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacity_factor

    The Danish offshore wind farm Horns Rev 2 has a nameplate capacity of 209.3 MW. As of January 2017 it has produced 6416 GWh since its commissioning 7 years ago, i.e. an average annual production of 875 GWh/year and a capacity factor of:
