  2. Reynolds number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reynolds_number

    The Reynolds number is the ratio of inertial forces to viscous forces within a fluid that is subjected to relative internal movement due to different fluid velocities. A region where these forces change behavior is known as a boundary layer, such as the bounding surface in the interior of a pipe.

  3. Tumbler screening technique - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tumbler_screening_technique

    Tumbler screening is a separation method that uses three-dimensional elliptical movement to separate very fine particles from larger ones.. Tumbler screening is a mechanical screening technique used in many fields that deal with raw materials and building materials for process and reuse. [1]

  4. Degrees of freedom (physics and chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degrees_of_freedom_(physics...

    By the equipartition theorem, internal energy per mole of gas equals c v T, where T is absolute temperature and the specific heat at constant volume is c v = (f)(R/2). R = 8.314 J/(K mol) is the universal gas constant, and "f" is the number of thermodynamic (quadratic) degrees of freedom, counting the number of ways in which energy can occur.

  5. State of matter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_of_matter

    Simple illustration of particles in the solid state – they are closely packed to each other. In a solid, constituent particles (ions, atoms, or molecules) are closely packed together. The forces between particles are so strong that the particles cannot move freely but can only vibrate. As a result, a solid has a stable, definite shape, and a ...

  6. Ideal gas law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideal_gas_law

    Isotherms of an ideal gas for different temperatures. The curved lines are rectangular hyperbolae of the form y = a/x. They represent the relationship between pressure (on the vertical axis) and volume (on the horizontal axis) for an ideal gas at different temperatures: lines that are farther away from the origin (that is, lines that are nearer to the top right-hand corner of the diagram ...

  7. Drag (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    Net aerodynamic or hydrodynamic force: Drag acting opposite to the direction of movement of a solid object such as cars, aircraft, [3] and boat hulls. Viscous drag of fluid in a pipe : Drag force on the immobile pipe restricts the velocity of the fluid through the pipe.

  8. Boundary layer thickness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_layer_thickness

    The boundary layer thickness, , is the distance normal to the wall to a point where the flow velocity has essentially reached the 'asymptotic' velocity, .Prior to the development of the Moment Method, the lack of an obvious method of defining the boundary layer thickness led much of the flow community in the later half of the 1900s to adopt the location , denoted as and given by

  9. Screen scroll centrifuge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_scroll_centrifuge

    Screen scroll centrifuge is a filtering centrifuge which separates solids and liquid from a solid-liquid mixture. This type of centrifuge is commonly used with a continuous process in which slurry containing both solid and liquid is continuously fed into and continuously discharged from the centrifuge.
