  2. Marsh funnel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marsh_funnel

    A Marsh funnel is a Marsh cone with a particular orifice and a working volume of 1.5 litres. It consists of a cone 6 inches (152 mm) across and 12 inches in height (305 mm) to the apex of which is fixed a tube 2 inches (50.8 mm) long and 3/16 inch (4.76 mm) internal diameter. A 10-mesh screen is fixed near the top across half the cone. [2]

  3. Torricelli's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torricelli's_law

    Assuming that a vessel is cylindrical with fixed cross-sectional area , with orifice of area at the bottom, then rate of change of water level height / is not constant. The water volume in the vessel is changing due to the discharge V ˙ {\displaystyle {\dot {V}}} out of the vessel:

  4. Simpson's rules (ship stability) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simpson's_rules_(ship...

    Simpson's rules are used to calculate the volume of lifeboats, [6] and by surveyors to calculate the volume of sludge in a ship's oil tanks. For instance, in the latter, Simpson's 3rd rule is used to find the volume between two co-ordinates. To calculate the entire area / volume, Simpson's first rule is used. [7]

  5. Settling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Settling

    The standard Imhoff cone of transparent glass or plastic holds one liter of liquid and has calibrated markings to measure the volume of solids accumulated in the bottom of the conical container after settling for one hour. A standardized Imhoff cone procedure is commonly used to measure suspended solids in wastewater or stormwater runoff.

  6. Communicating vessels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communicating_vessels

    A set of communicating vessels Animation showing the filling of communicating vessels. Communicating vessels or communicating vases [1] are a set of containers containing a homogeneous fluid and connected sufficiently far below the top of the liquid: when the liquid settles, it balances out to the same level in all of the containers regardless of the shape and volume of the containers.

  7. Laboratory flask - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laboratory_flask

    Erlenmeyer flasks (introduced in 1861 by German chemist Emil Erlenmeyer (1825–1909)) are shaped like a cone, usually completed by the ground joint; the conical flasks are very popular because of their low price (they are easy to manufacture) and portability; Volumetric flask is used for preparing liquids with volumes of high precision. It is ...

  8. Volumetric flow rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volumetric_flow_rate

    The area required to calculate the volumetric flow rate is real or imaginary, flat or curved, either as a cross-sectional area or a surface. The vector area is a combination of the magnitude of the area through which the volume passes through, A , and a unit vector normal to the area, n ^ {\displaystyle {\hat {\mathbf {n} }}} .

  9. Conical surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conical_surface

    In general, a conical surface consists of two congruent unbounded halves joined by the apex. Each half is called a nappe, and is the union of all the rays that start at the apex and pass through a point of some fixed space curve. [2] Sometimes the term "conical surface" is used to mean just one nappe. [3]
