  5. Friction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction

    The friction coefficient is an empirical (experimentally measured) structural property that depends only on various aspects of the contacting materials, such as surface roughness. The coefficient of friction is not a function of mass or volume. For instance, a large aluminum block has the same coefficient of friction as a small aluminum block.

  8. Darcy friction factor formulae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darcy_friction_factor_formulae

    In fluid dynamics, the Darcy friction factor formulae are equations that allow the calculation of the Darcy friction factor, a dimensionless quantity used in the Darcy–Weisbach equation, for the description of friction losses in pipe flow as well as open-channel flow.

  9. Coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient

    In mathematics, a coefficient is a multiplicative factor in some term of a polynomial, a series, or any expression. For example, in the polynomial 7 x 2 − 3 x y + 1.5 + y , {\displaystyle 7x^{2}-3xy+1.5+y,} with variables x {\displaystyle x} and y {\displaystyle y} , the first two terms have the coefficients 7 and −3.
