  3. Impulse (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impulse_(physics)

    The application of Newton's second law for variable mass allows impulse and momentum to be used as analysis tools for jet- or rocket-propelled vehicles. In the case of rockets, the impulse imparted can be normalized by unit of propellant expended, to create a performance parameter, specific impulse .

  4. Pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure

    Pressure (symbol: p or P) is the force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area over which that force is distributed. [1]: 445 Gauge pressure (also spelled gage pressure) [a] is the pressure relative to the ambient pressure. Various units are used to express pressure.

  9. Dimensionless numbers in fluid mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensionless_numbers_in...

    Dimensionless numbers (or characteristic numbers) have an important role in analyzing the behavior of fluids and their flow as well as in other transport phenomena. [1] They include the Reynolds and the Mach numbers, which describe as ratios the relative magnitude of fluid and physical system characteristics, such as density, viscosity, speed of sound, and flow speed.
