  2. n-Butylbenzene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-Butylbenzene

    Of two isomers of butylbenzene, n-butylbenzene consists of a phenyl group attached to the 1 position of a butyl group. It is a slightly greasy, colorless liquid. The synthesis of n-butylbenzene by the reaction of chlorobenzene and butylmagnesium bromide was one of the first demonstrations of the Kumada coupling using nickel diphosphine ...

  3. tert-Butylbenzene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tert-Butylbenzene

    tert-Butylbenzene is an organic compound classified as an aromatic hydrocarbon. Its structure consists of a benzene ring substituted with a tert -butyl group . It is a flammable colorless liquid which is nearly insoluble in water but miscible with organic solvents.

  4. Entrainment (hydrodynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entrainment_(hydrodynamics)

    The entrainment hypothesis was first used as a model for flow in plumes by G. I. Taylor. He was studying the use of oil drum fires to clear fog from airplane runways during World War II. [3] It became a common model of turbulence closure used in environmental and geophysical fluid mechanics. [4]

  5. Fluid mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_mechanics

    Fluid mechanics is the branch of physics concerned with the mechanics of fluids (liquids, gases, and plasmas) and the forces on them. [1]: 3 It has applications in a wide range of disciplines, including mechanical, aerospace, civil, chemical, and biomedical engineering, as well as geophysics, oceanography, meteorology, astrophysics, and biology.

  6. Fluid flow through porous media - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_flow_through_porous...

    In fluid mechanics, fluid flow through porous media is the manner in which fluids behave when flowing through a porous medium, for example sponge or wood, or when filtering water using sand or another porous material. As commonly observed, some fluid flows through the media while some mass of the fluid is stored in the pores present in the media.

  7. Bernoulli's principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli's_principle

    If both the gas pressure and volume change simultaneously, then work will be done on or by the gas. In this case, Bernoulli's equation—in its incompressible flow form—cannot be assumed to be valid. However, if the gas process is entirely isobaric, or isochoric, then no work is done on or by the gas (so the simple energy balance is not upset ...

  8. Molecular diffusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_diffusion

    If no bulk flow occurs in an element of length dx, the rates of diffusion of two ideal gases (of similar molar volume) A and B must be equal and opposite, that is =. The partial pressure of A changes by dP A over the distance dx. Similarly, the partial pressure of B changes dP B. As there is no difference in total pressure across the element ...

  9. Multiphase flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiphase_flow

    Further examples lie in the flow of oil, water and natural gas. These flow can occur in condensation or evaporation of liquid mixtures (e.g. the condensation or evaporation of steam or hydrocarbons) [9] Solid-liquid-liquid flows: An example being sand mixing with oil and water in a pipeline [9] Multiphase flows are not restricted to only three ...
