  2. Table of specific heat capacities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_specific_heat...

    Note that the especially high molar values, as for paraffin, gasoline, water and ammonia, result from calculating specific heats in terms of moles of molecules. If specific heat is expressed per mole of atoms for these substances, none of the constant-volume values exceed, to any large extent, the theoretical Dulong–Petit limit of 25 J⋅mol ...

    C 2 H 3 Na O 2: Molar mass: 82.034 g·mol −1 : Appearance White deliquescent powder or crystals Odor: Vinegar (acetic acid) odor when heated to decomposition [1]: Density: 1.528 g/cm 3 (20 °C, anhydrous)

  4. Thermal conductance and resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_conductance_and...

    The SI unit of absolute thermal resistance is kelvins per watt (K/W) or the equivalent degrees Celsius per watt (°C/W) – the two are the same since the intervals are equal: ΔT = 1 K = 1 °C. The thermal resistance of materials is of great interest to electronic engineers because most electrical components generate heat and need to be cooled.

    In terms of reaction rates: = where k g is the global mass transport coefficient; a is the interfacial area; The value of Da provides a quick estimate of the degree of conversion that can be achieved.

  6. Physical coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_coefficient

    Ballistic coefficient (BC) (aerodynamics) (units of kg/m 2) - A measure of a body's ability to overcome air resistance in flight. BC is a function of mass, diameter, and drag coefficient. Transmission coefficient (quantum mechanics) (dimensionless) - Represents the probability flux of a transmitted wave relative to that of an incident wave.

  7. Drag (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    In aerodynamics, aerodynamic drag, also known as air resistance, is the fluid drag force that acts on any moving solid body in the direction of the air's freestream flow. [ 22 ] From the body's perspective (near-field approach), the drag results from forces due to pressure distributions over the body surface, symbolized D p r {\displaystyle D ...

  8. Thermal contact conductance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_contact_conductance

    A temperature drop is observed at the interface between the two surfaces in contact. This phenomenon is said to be a result of a thermal contact resistance existing between the contacting surfaces. Thermal contact resistance is defined as the ratio between this temperature drop and the average heat flow across the interface. [1]

    at each geopotential altitude, where g is the standard acceleration of gravity, and R specific is the specific gas constant for dry air (287.0528J⋅kg −1 ⋅K −1). The solution is given by the barometric formula. Air density must be calculated in order to solve for the pressure, and is used in calculating dynamic pressure for moving vehicles.
