  2. Hagen–Poiseuille equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hagen–Poiseuille_equation

    In non ideal fluid dynamics, the Hagen–Poiseuille equation, also known as the Hagen–Poiseuille law, Poiseuille law or Poiseuille equation, is a physical law that gives the pressure drop in an incompressible and Newtonian fluid in laminar flow flowing through a long cylindrical pipe of constant cross section.

  3. Displacement (fluid) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Displacement_(fluid)

    The weight of the displaced fluid can be found mathematically. The mass of the displaced fluid can be expressed in terms of the density and its volume, m = ρV. The fluid displaced has a weight W = mg, where g is acceleration due to gravity. Therefore, the weight of the displaced fluid can be expressed as W = ρVg. The weight of an object or ...

  4. Barlow's formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barlow's_formula

    The design of a complex pressure containment system involves much more than the application of Barlow's formula. For example, in 100 countries the ASME BPVCcode stipulates the requirements for design and testing of pressure vessels.

    Pressure due to direct impact of a strong breeze (~28 mph or 45 km/h) [27] [28] [31] 120 Pa Pressure from the weight of a U.S. quarter lying flat [32] [33] 133 Pa 1 torr ≈ 1 mmHg [34] ±200 Pa ~140 dB: Threshold of pain pressure level for sound where prolonged exposure may lead to hearing loss [citation needed] ±300 Pa ±0.043 psi

  6. Choked flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choked_flow

    The above equations calculate the steady state mass flow rate for the pressure and temperature existing in the upstream pressure source. If the gas is being released from a closed high-pressure vessel, the above steady state equations may be used to approximate the initial mass flow rate. Subsequently, the mass flow rate decreases during the ...

  7. Displacement (ship) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Displacement_(ship)

    To calculate the weight of the displaced water, it is necessary to know its density. Seawater (1,025 kg/m 3) is more dense than fresh water (1,000 kg/m 3); [5] so a ship will ride higher in salt water than in fresh. The density of water also varies with temperature.

  8. Archimedes' principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes'_principle

    Multiplying the pressure difference by the area of a face gives a net force on the cuboid—the buoyancy—equaling in size the weight of the fluid displaced by the cuboid. By summing up sufficiently many arbitrarily small cuboids this reasoning may be extended to irregular shapes, and so, whatever the shape of the submerged body, the buoyant ...

  9. Vessel flute - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vessel_flute

    The air in the body of a vessel flute resonates as one, with air moving alternately in and out of the vessel, and the pressure inside the vessel increasing and decreasing. This is unlike the resonance of a tube or cone of air , where air moves back and forth along the tube, with pressure increasing in part of the tube while it decreases in another.
