  2. Hagen–Poiseuille equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hagen–Poiseuille_equation

    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. Low viscosity or a wide pipe may result in turbulent flow, making it necessary to use more complex models, such as the Darcy–Weisbach equation.

  3. Culvert - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culvert

    Corrugated metal culvert. In the coastal plains of Queensland, Australia, torrential rains during the wet season place a heavy demand on culverts. The natural slope of the flood plains is often very small, and little fall (or head loss) is permissible in the culverts. Researchers developed and patented the design procedure of minimum energy ...

  4. Ovality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ovality

    The cross-sections of the core and cladding are assumed to a first approximation to be elliptical, and ovality is defined to be twice the third flattening of the ellipse, +, where a is the length of the major axis and b is the length of the minor axis.

  5. Hollow structural section - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollow_structural_section

    HSS members can be circular, square, or rectangular sections, although other shapes such as elliptical are also available. HSS is only composed of structural steel per code. HSS is sometimes mistakenly referenced as hollow structural steel. Rectangular and square HSS are also commonly called tube steel or box section.

  6. List of second moments of area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_second_moments_of_area

    Regular polygons; Description Figure Second moment of area Comment A filled regular (equiliteral) triangle with a side length of a = = [6] The result is valid for both a horizontal and a vertical axis through the centroid, and therefore is also valid for an axis with arbitrary direction that passes through the origin.

  7. Elliptic partial differential equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_partial...

    In mathematics, an elliptic partial differential equation is a type of partial differential equation (PDE). In mathematical modeling, elliptic PDEs are frequently used to model steady states, unlike parabolic PDE and hyperbolic PDE which generally model phenomena that change in time.

  8. Metal hose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_hose

    Metal bellows are created by rolling annular corrugations into a smooth extruded or welded pipe. In 1946, Dreyer developed a multi-walled joint that was designed to accommodate axial movements as well: the axial expansion joint.

  9. Ellipsograph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellipsograph

    The motion of the rod is termed elliptical motion. The semi-axes a and b of the ellipses have lengths equal to the distances from the point on the rod to each of the two pivots. The straight lines described by the pivots are special cases of an ellipse, where the length of one axis is twice the distance between the pivots and that of the other ...
