  2. Draft (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft_(engineering)

    A cylinder with longitudinal draft Profile view of a drafted cylinder with the draft dimension. In engineering, draft is the amount of taper for molded or cast parts perpendicular to the parting line. It can be measured in degrees or mm/mm (in/in). Consider the fabrication of a hollow plastic box, without lid.

  3. Draft survey - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft_Survey

    A draft survey is a calculation of the weight of cargo loaded or unloaded to or from a ship from measurents of changes in its displacement. The technique is based on Archimedes' principle . The procedure is standardized by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe for the measurement of coal cargoes.

    Other drivers quickly picked up on Busch's strategy, and the two-car draft dominated the 2011 Daytona 500 and Budweiser Shootout. [9] This strategy had also been very prominent at Talladega. In 2011, two-car tandem drafting was used for the extent of the Aaron's 499 , with many drivers drafting their own teammates (e.g., Jimmie Johnson and Dale ...

  5. Stack effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_effect

    The draft (draught in British English) flow rate induced by the stack effect can be calculated with the equation presented below. [12] [13] The equation applies only to buildings where air is both inside and outside the buildings. For buildings with one or two floors, h is the height of the building and A is the flow area of the openings.

  6. Centrifugal casting (industrial) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_casting...

    The technique is known in the glass industry as "spinning". The centrifugal force pushes the molten glass against the mold wall, where it solidifies. The cooling process often takes between 16 and 72 hours depending on the impurities or volume of material. Typical products made using this process are television tubes and missile nose cones.

  7. Displacement (ship) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Displacement_(ship)

    Draft marks, by showing how low a ship is sitting in the water, make it possible to determine displacement. The displacement or displacement tonnage of a ship is its weight . As the term indicates, it is measured indirectly, using Archimedes' principle , by first calculating the volume of water displaced by the ship, then converting that value ...
