  2. Standard step method - Wikipedia

    Figure 1. Conceptual figure used to define terms in the energy equation. [2] Figure 2. A diagram showing the relationship for flow depth (y) and total Energy (E) for a given flow (Q). Note the location of critical flow, subcritical flow, and supercritical flow.

  3. Choked flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choked_flow

    The flow pattern is exactly the same as in subsonic flow, except that the flow speed at the throat has just reached Mach 1. Flow through the nozzle is now choked since further reductions in the back pressure can't move the point of M=1 away from the throat. However, the flow pattern in the diverging section does change as you lower the back ...

  4. Intersection capacity utilization - Wikipedia

    In order to calculate the Level of Service for the ICU method, the ICU for an intersection must be computed first. [3] ICU can be computed by: ICU = sum(max (tMin, v/si) * CL + tLi) / CL = Intersection Capacity Utilization CL = Reference Cycle Length tLi = Lost time for critical movement v/si = volume to saturation flow rate, critical movement

  5. Failure mode, effects, and criticality analysis - Wikipedia

    With each on a scale from 1 to 10, the highest RPN is 10x10x10 = 1000. This means that this failure is not detectable by inspection, very severe and the occurrence is almost sure. If the occurrence is very sparse, this would be 1 and the RPN would decrease to 100. So, criticality analysis enables to focus on the highest risks.

  6. Darcy friction factor formulae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darcy_friction_factor_formulae

    Churchill equation [24] (1977) is the only equation that can be evaluated for very slow flow (Reynolds number < 1), but the Cheng (2008), [25] and Bellos et al. (2018) [8] equations also return an approximately correct value for friction factor in the laminar flow region (Reynolds number < 2300). All of the others are for transitional and ...

  7. Fanno flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanno_flow

    For given upstream conditions at point 1 as shown in Figures 3 and 4, calculations can be made to determine the nozzle exit Mach number and the location of a normal shock in the constant area duct. Point 2 labels the nozzle throat, where M = 1 if the flow is choked. Point 3 labels the end of the nozzle where the flow transitions from isentropic ...

  8. Stream power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stream_power

    Critical unit stream power is the amount of stream power needed to displace a grain of a specific size, it is given by the equation: ω 0 = τ 0 ν 0 {\displaystyle \omega _{0}=\tau _{0}\nu _{0}} where τ 0 is the critical shear stress of the grain size that will be moved which can be found in the literature or experimentally determined while v ...

  9. Euler's critical load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_critical_load

    The critical load is the greatest load that will not cause lateral deflection (buckling). For loads greater than the critical load, the column will deflect laterally. The critical load puts the column in a state of unstable equilibrium. A load beyond the critical load causes the column to fail by buckling. As the load is increased beyond the ...
