  2. Center of pressure (fluid mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_of_pressure_(fluid...

    The total force vector acting at the center of pressure is the surface integral of the pressure vector field across the surface of the body. The resultant force and center of pressure location produce an equivalent force and moment on the body as the original pressure field. Pressure fields occur in both static and dynamic fluid mechanics ...

  3. Pressure prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_prism

    HCOP = ∫px x dx / ∫px dx, where px is the pressure at x distance from the bottom With this formula we see the height of the COP for a plane surface is H/3 from the bottom, as shown in Figure 2 (left). With two fluids of differing density in a volume, the slope of the pressure prism will not be constant over the depth. See Figure 3 (right).

  4. 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.

  5. Thermal equation of state of solids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_equation_of_state...

    At ambient pressure, P=0 GPA is known, so, the volume, pressure, and temperature are all given. Then, authors [9] predict the pressure value from the given (V, T) from pressure-dependent thermal expansion equation of state. The predicted pressures match with the known experimental value of 0 GPa, see in Figure 2.

  6. Hagen–Poiseuille equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hagen–Poiseuille_equation

    Δp is the pressure difference between the two ends, L is the length of pipe, μ is the dynamic viscosity, Q is the volumetric flow rate, R is the pipe radius, A is the cross-sectional area of pipe. The equation does not hold close to the pipe entrance. [8]: 3 The equation fails in the limit of low viscosity, wide and/or short pipe.

  7. Pressure–volume diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressurevolume_diagram

    A PV diagram plots the change in pressure P with respect to volume V for some process or processes. Typically in thermodynamics, the set of processes forms a cycle, so that upon completion of the cycle there has been no net change in state of the system; i.e. the device returns to the starting pressure and volume.

  8. Murnaghan equation of state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murnaghan_equation_of_state

    If the reduction in volume under compression is low, i.e., for V/V 0 greater than about 90%, the Murnaghan equation can model experimental data with satisfactory accuracy. Moreover, unlike many proposed equations of state, it gives an explicit expression of the volume as a function of pressure V(P). But its range of validity is limited and ...

  9. Birch–Murnaghan equation of state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birch–Murnaghan_equation...

    The Birch–Murnaghan isothermal equation of state, published in 1947 by Albert Francis Birch of Harvard, [1] is a relationship between the volume of a body and the pressure to which it is subjected. Birch proposed this equation based on the work of Francis Dominic Murnaghan of Johns Hopkins University published in 1944, [ 2 ] so that the ...
