  2. Cubic foot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_foot

    The IEEE symbol for the cubic foot per second is ft 3 /s. [1] The following other abbreviations are also sometimes used: ft 3 /sec; cu ft/s; cfs or CFS; cusec; second-feet; The flow or discharge of rivers, i.e., the volume of water passing a location per unit of time, is commonly expressed in units of cubic feet per second or cubic metres per second.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_of_units

    historical definitions of the units and their derivatives used in old measurements; e.g., international foot vs. US survey foot. For some purposes, conversions from one system of units to another are needed to be exact, without increasing or decreasing the precision of the expressed quantity.

  4. Square–cube law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square–cube_law

    The square–cube law was first mentioned in Two New Sciences (1638). The square–cube law (or cube–square law ) is a mathematical principle, applied in a variety of scientific fields, which describes the relationship between the volume and the surface area as a shape's size increases or decreases.

  5. Standard cubic foot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_cubic_foot

    A standard cubic foot (scf) is a unit representing the amount of gas (such as natural gas) contained in a volume of one cubic foot at reference temperature and pressure conditions. It is the unit commonly used when following the customary system , a collection of standards set by the National Institute of Standards and Technology .

    Comparison of 1 square foot with some Imperial and metric units of area. The square foot (pl. square feet; abbreviated sq ft, sf, or ft 2; also denoted by ' 2 and ⏍) is an imperial unit and U.S. customary unit (non-SI, non-metric) of area, used mainly in the United States and partially in Canada, the United Kingdom, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan, Ghana, Liberia, Malaysia, Myanmar ...

  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} }}} .
