  2. Hydrostatic weighing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrostatic_weighing

    Example 2: Consider a larger block of the same stone material as in Example 1 but with a 1-liter cavity inside of the same amount of stone. The block would still weigh 3 kilograms on dry land (ignoring the weight of air in the cavity) but it would now displace 2 liters of water so its immersed weight would be only 1 kilogram (at 4 °C).

  3. Stochastic empirical loading and dilution model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stochastic_Empirical...

    This report describes methods for calculating the trapezoidal-distribution statistics and rank correlation coefficients for stochastic modeling of volume reduction, hydrograph extension, and water-quality treatment by structural stormwater BMPs and provides the calculated values for these variables.

  4. Volume correction factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_Correction_Factor

    That is, observed temperatures above 60 °F (or the base temperature used) typically correlate with a correction factor below "1", while temperatures below 60 °F correlate with a factor above "1". This concept lies in the basis for the kinetic theory of matter and thermal expansion of matter , which states as the temperature of a substance ...

  5. Flood Studies Report - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flood_Studies_Report

    Factor Z1 is interpolated from figures [2] based on the values of M5-2 days and "r". Factor Z2 (the growth factor) is found from the M5 rainfall depth, and depends on the return period. The Areal Reduction Factor (ARF) takes the catchment area into account. For small catchments (below 1 km 2) the ARF is not required.

  6. Drawdown (hydrology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drawdown_(hydrology)

    Static level is the level of water in the well when no water is being removed from the well by pumping. [8] Water table is the upper level of the zone of saturation, an underground surface in which the soil or rock is permanently saturated with water. [9] Well yield is the volume of water per unit time that is produced by the well from pumping. [8]

  7. Pore water pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pore_water_pressure

    However, when the local water table height is within said five meters, the total stress felt five meters below the surface is decreased by the product of the height of the water table in to the five meter area, and the specific weight of water, 9.81 kN/m^3. This parameter is called the effective stress of the soil, basically equal to the ...

  8. Storm Water Management Model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storm_Water_Management_Model

    routing of water quality constituents through the drainage system; reduction in constituent concentration through treatment in storage units or by natural processes in pipes and channels. Rain gages in SWMM5 supply precipitation data for one or more subcatchment areas in a study region. The rainfall data can be either a user-defined time series ...

  9. Multiplicity (statistical mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplicity_(statistical...

    However, it is useful as an intermediate step to calculate multiplicity as a function of and . This approach shows that the number of available macrostates is N + 1 . For example, in a very small system with N = 2 dipoles, there are three macrostates, corresponding to N ↑ = 0 , 1 , 2. {\displaystyle N_{\uparrow }=0,1,2.}
