  2. Eventual consistency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eventual_consistency

    Eventual consistency is a weak guarantee – most stronger models, like linearizability, are trivially eventually consistent. Eventually-consistent services are often classified as providing BASE semantics (basically-available, soft-state, eventual consistency), in contrast to traditional ACID (atomicity, consistency, isolation, durability) .

  3. Analysis of water chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analysis_of_water_chemistry

    To ensure consistency and repeatability, the methods use in the chemical analysis of water samples are often agreed and published at a national or state level. By convention these are often referred to as "Blue book". [4] [5] Certain analyses are performed in-field (e.g. pH, specific conductance) while others involve sampling and laboratory ...

  4. Herschel–Bulkley fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herschel–Bulkley_fluid

    In one dimension, the constitutive equation of the Herschel-Bulkley model after the yield stress has been reached can be written in the form: [3] [4] ˙ =, < = + ˙, where is the shear stress [Pa], the yield stress [Pa], the consistency index [Pa s], ˙ the shear rate [s], and the flow index [dimensionless].

  5. Isotope hydrology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotope_hydrology

    Isotope hydrology applications are highly diverse, and used for informing water-use policy, mapping aquifers, conserving water supplies, assessing sources of water pollution, investigating surface-groundwater interaction, refining groundwater flow models, and increasingly are used in eco-hydrology to study human impacts on all dimensions of the ...

  6. Power-law fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-law_fluid

    A Newtonian fluid is a power-law fluid with a behaviour index of 1, where the shear stress is directly proportional to the shear rate: = These fluids have a constant viscosity, μ, across all shear rates and include many of the most common fluids, such as water, most aqueous solutions, oils, corn syrup, glycerine, air and other gases.

  7. Atterberg limits - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atterberg_limits

    The consistency index (Ic) indicates a soil's consistency (firmness). It is calculated as CI = (LL-W)/(LL-PL), where W is the existing water content. The soil at the liquid limit will have a consistency index of 0, the soil at the plastic limit will have a consistency index of 1, and if W > LL, Ic is negative.

  8. Karl Fischer titration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Fischer_titration

    The glass walls of the vessel adsorb water, and if any water leaks into the cell, the slow release of water into the titration solution can continue for a long time. Therefore, before measurement, it is necessary to carefully dry the vessel and run a 10–30-minute "dry run" in order to calculate the rate of drift.

  9. Lake retention time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_retention_time

    The lake retention time for a body of water with the volume 2,000 m 3 (71,000 cu ft) and the exit flow of 100 m 3 /h (3,500 cu ft/h) is 20 hours.. Lake retention time (also called the residence time of lake water, or the water age or flushing time) is a calculated quantity expressing the mean time that water (or some dissolved substance) spends in a particular lake.
