Rockwell scale – Hugh M. (1890–1957) and Stanley P. (1886–1940) Rockwell: mechanical hardness (indentation hardness of a material) Rolling resistance coefficient: C rr = vehicle dynamics (ratio of force needed for motion of a wheel over the normal force)
Scale analysis anticipates within a factor of order one when done properly, the expensive results produced by exact analyses. Scale analysis rules as follows: Rule1-First step in scale analysis is to define the domain of extent in which we apply scale analysis. Any scale analysis of a flow region that is not uniquely defined is not valid.
One important use is in the analysis of control systems. One of the simplest characteristic units is the doubling time of a system experiencing exponential growth , or conversely the half-life of a system experiencing exponential decay ; a more natural pair of characteristic units is mean age/ mean lifetime , which correspond to base e rather ...
In addition to reducing the number of parameters, non-dimensionalized equation helps to gain a greater insight into the relative size of various terms present in the equation. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Following appropriate selecting of scales for the non-dimensionalization process, this leads to identification of small terms in the equation.

The template can accept parameters that describe the size of the object on the screen: |viewport_cm= or |viewport_px=. The template also accepts other geohack parameters to generate the scale argument: dim; type (e.g., "mountain" or "city") population (for type="city" only)
For example, moisture content may be defined as a ratio of volumes (volumetric moisture, m 3 ⋅m −3, dimension L 3 ⋅L −3) or as a ratio of masses (gravimetric moisture, units kg⋅kg −1, dimension M⋅M −1); both would be unitless quantities, but of different dimension.
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.
