  2. Drop (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drop_(unit)

    The drop is an approximated unit of measure of volume, the amount dispensed as one drop from a dropper or drip chamber. It is often used in giving quantities of liquid drugs to patients, and occasionally in cooking and in organic synthesis. The abbreviations gt or gtt come from the Latin noun gutta ("drop").

  3. Raindrop size distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raindrop_size_distribution

    It is mechanically impossible to exceed D = 10 mm as the drop breaks at large diameters. From the general distribution, the diameter spectrum changes, μ = 0 inside the cloud, where the evaporation of small drops is negligible due to saturation conditions and μ = 2 out of the cloud, where the small drops evaporate because they are in drier air.

  4. Drop (liquid) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drop_(liquid)

    Water drops on a leaf A water drop falling from a tap. A drop or droplet is a small column of liquid, bounded completely or almost completely by free surfaces.A drop may form when liquid accumulates at the end of a tube or other surface boundary, producing a hanging drop called a pendant drop.

  5. Liquid water content - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_water_content

    The droplet concentration of a cloud is the number of water droplets in a volume of cloud, typically a cubic centimeter (Wallace, 2006). The formula for the droplet concentration is as follows. = / In this equation, N is the total number of water droplets in the volume, and V is the total volume of the cloud being measured.

  7. Stalagmometric method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stalagmometric_method

    The lower end of the tube is narrowed to force the fluid to fall out of the tube as a drop. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] In an experiment, the drops of fluid flow slowly from the tube in a vertical direction . The drops hanging on the bottom of the tube start to fall when the volume of the drop reaches a maximum value that is dependent on the characteristics of ...

  8. Splash (fluid mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splash_(fluid_mechanics)

    Slow motion video of a fruit falling into water. In fluid mechanics, a splash is a sudden disturbance to the otherwise quiescent free surface of a liquid (usually water).The disturbance is typically caused by a solid object suddenly hitting the surface, although splashes can occur in which moving liquid supplies the energy.

  9. Minim (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minim_(unit)

    The minim (abbreviated min, ♏︎ or ♍︎) is a unit of volume in both the imperial and U.S. customary systems of measurement. Specifically, in the imperial system, it is 1 ⁄ 60 of an imperial fluid drachm [1] [2] or 1 ⁄ 480 of an imperial fluid ounce; in the U.S. customary system, it is 1 ⁄ 60 of a US customary fluid dram or 1 ⁄ 480 of a US customary fluid ounce.
