  2. Saturation (traffic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturation_(traffic)

    The saturation flow is the rate at which a continuous flow of vehicles can pass through a constant green signal, typically expressed in vehicles per hour or PCUs per hour. [1] A formula to calculate saturation flows based on lane geometry is given in Transport and Road Research Laboratory RR67. [2]

  3. Viscosity models for mixtures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscosity_models_for_mixtures

    This will result in another viscosity value if the fluid is a non-Newtonian fluid such as paint, but it will give the same viscosity value for a Newtonian fluid such as water, petroleum oil or gas. If another parameter like temperature, T {\displaystyle T} , is changed, and the experiment is repeated with the same force, a new value for ...

  4. Environmental impact of paint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_impact_of_paint

    Low-VOC paint types include latex (water-based), acrylic, and milk paint, with most relatively easy to recycle. [1] [2] The labels of paint cans can be checked for the following information: To be considered low-VOC, the paint should contain <50 g/L of VOC. [citation needed] To be considered zero-VOC, the paint should contain <5 g/L of VOC.

  5. Milk paint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milk_paint

    Stools painted with milk paint. Milk paint is a nontoxic, milk-based paint bound with casein.It can be made from milk and lime, generally with pigments added for color. [1] [2] [3] In other recipes, borax is mixed with milk's casein protein in order to activate the casein and as a preservative.

  6. Water activity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_activity

    The water in food has a tendency to evaporate, but the water vapor in the surrounding air has a tendency to condense into the food. When the two tendencies are in balance— and the air and food are stable—the air's relative humidity (expressed as a fraction instead of as a percentage) is taken to be the water activity, a w. Thus, water ...

  7. Hegman gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hegman_gauge

    The paint fills the grooves, and the location where a regular, significant "pepperyness" in the appearance of the coating appears, marks the coarsest-ground dispersed particles. [3] This is the point where oversized particles start to appear in high density and determines the rating for that material. [ 4 ]

  8. Penman equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penman_equation

    The Penman equation describes evaporation (E) from an open water surface, and was developed by Howard Penman in 1948. Penman's equation requires daily mean temperature, wind speed, air pressure, and solar radiation to predict E. Simpler Hydrometeorological equations continue to be used where obtaining such data is impractical, to give comparable results within specific contexts, e.g. humid vs ...

  9. Surfactants in paint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surfactants_in_paint

    The solvent also modifies the curing rate and viscosity of the paint in its liquid state. There are two types of paint: solvent-borne and water-borne paints. Solvent-borne paints use organic solvents as the primary vehicle carrying the solid components in a paint formulation, whereas water-borne paints use water as the continuous medium.
