  2. Torricelli's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torricelli's_law

    By measuring the level of water remaining in the vessel, the time can be measured with uniform graduation. This is an example of outflow clepsydra. Since the water outflow rate is higher when the water level is higher (due to more pressure), the fluid's volume should be more than a simple cylinder when the water level is high.

  3. Darcy's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darcy's_law

    A number of papers have utilized Darcy's law to model the physics of brewing in a moka pot, specifically how the hot water percolates through the coffee grinds under pressure, starting with a 2001 paper by Varlamov and Balestrino, [6] and continuing with a 2007 paper by Gianino, [7] a 2008 paper by Navarini et al., [8] and a 2008 paper by W ...

  5. Hazen–Williams equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hazen–Williams_equation

    The Darcy-Weisbach equation was difficult to use because the friction factor was difficult to estimate. [7] In 1906, Hazen and Williams provided an empirical formula that was easy to use. The general form of the equation relates the mean velocity of water in a pipe with the geometric properties of the pipe and the slope of the energy line.

  6. Washburn's equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washburn's_equation

    The equation is named after Edward Wight Washburn; [1] also known as Lucas–Washburn equation, considering that Richard Lucas [2] wrote a similar paper three years earlier, or the Bell-Cameron-Lucas-Washburn equation, considering J.M. Bell and F.K. Cameron's discovery of the form of the equation in 1906.

  7. Torricelli's equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torricelli's_equation

    In physics, Torricelli's equation, or Torricelli's formula, is an equation created by Evangelista Torricelli to find the final velocity of a moving object with constant acceleration along an axis (for example, the x axis) without having a known time interval. The equation itself is: [1] = + where

  8. Chézy formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chézy_formula

    The Chézy Formula is a semi-empirical resistance equation [1] [2] which estimates mean flow velocity in open channel conduits. [3] The relationship was conceptualized and developed in 1768 by French physicist and engineer Antoine de Chézy (1718–1798) while designing Paris's water canal system.

  9. Primitive equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primitive_equations

    This equation and notation works in much the same way as the temperature equation. This equation describes the motion of water from one place to another at a point without taking into account water that changes form. Inside a given system, the total change in water with time is zero. However, concentrations are allowed to move with the wind.
