  2. Darcy–Weisbach equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darcy–Weisbach_equation

    The flow rate can be converted to a mean flow velocity V by dividing by the wetted area of the flow (which equals the cross-sectional area of the pipe if the pipe is full of fluid). Pressure has dimensions of energy per unit volume, therefore the pressure drop between two points must be proportional to the dynamic pressure q.

  3. Internal ballistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_ballistics

    Internal ballistics (also interior ballistics), a subfield of ballistics, is the study of the propulsion of a projectile.. In guns, internal ballistics covers the time from the propellant's ignition until the projectile exits the gun barrel. [1]

  4. Miller twist rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller_twist_rule

    Miller twist rule is a mathematical formula derived by American physical chemist and historian of science Donald G. Miller (1927-2012) to determine the rate of twist to apply to a given bullet to provide optimum stability using a rifled barrel. [1]

  5. Kozeny–Carman equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kozeny–Carman_equation

    The Kozeny–Carman equation (or Carman–Kozeny equation or Kozeny equation) is a relation used in the field of fluid dynamics to calculate the pressure drop of a fluid flowing through a packed bed of solids. It is named after Josef Kozeny and Philip C. Carman.

  6. Concatenated error correction code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concatenated_error...

    Similarly, the inner code can reliably correct an input y i if less than d/2 inner symbols are erroneous. Thus, for an outer symbol y' i to be incorrect after inner decoding at least d/2 inner symbols must have been in error, and for the outer code to fail this must have happened for at least D/2 outer symbols.

  7. Ergun equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ergun_equation

    To calculate the pressure drop in a given reactor, the following equation may be deduced: = + | |. This arrangement of the Ergun equation makes clear its close relationship to the simpler Kozeny-Carman equation, which describes laminar flow of fluids across packed beds via the first term on the right hand side.

  8. Gaussian beam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_beam

    The Gaussian function has a 1/e 2 diameter (2w as used in the text) about 1.7 times the FWHM.. At a position z along the beam (measured from the focus), the spot size parameter w is given by a hyperbolic relation: [1] = + (), where [1] = is called the Rayleigh range as further discussed below, and is the refractive index of the medium.

  9. 6.8mm Remington SPC - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6.8mm_Remington_SPC

    The 6.8mm Remington Special Purpose Cartridge (6.8 SPC, 6.8 SPC II or 6.8×43mm) is a rimless bottlenecked intermediate rifle cartridge that was developed by Remington Arms in collaboration with members of the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit and United States Special Operations Command [6] to possibly replace the 5.56 NATO cartridge in short barreled rifles (SBR) and carbines.
