  2. Atkinson resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atkinson_resistance

    This may have been a step too far, as most of his successors chose to give values of Atkinson resistance in terms of atkinsons per unit length (often 100 or 1,000 yards). The term 1 / 2 ρ {\displaystyle 1/2\rho } was incorporated, which later authors definitely considered a step too far (e.g. McPherson, 1988).

  3. French catheter scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_catheter_scale

    The French scale measures the outer diameter of the catheter, not the size of the internal drainage channel (inner diameter). For instance, a two-way catheter of 20 Fr and a three-way catheter of 20 Fr have the same outer diameter, but the three-way catheter has an additional channel for irrigation, reducing the size of its drainage channel.

  4. Hydraulic diameter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_diameter

    For the limiting case of a very wide duct, i.e. a slot of width b, where b ≫ a, and a is the water depth, then D H = 4a. For a fully filled duct or pipe whose cross-section is a convex regular polygon , the hydraulic diameter is equivalent to the diameter D {\displaystyle D} of a circle inscribed within the wetted perimeter .

  5. Characteristic length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characteristic_length

    In physics, a characteristic length is an important dimension that defines the scale of a physical system. Often, such a length is used as an input to a formula in order to predict some characteristics of the system, and it is usually required by the construction of a dimensionless quantity, in the general framework of dimensional analysis and in particular applications such as fluid mechanics.

  6. Friction loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction_loss

    The friction loss is customarily given as pressure loss for a given duct length, Δp / L, in units of (US) inches of water for 100 feet or (SI) kg / m 2 / s 2. For specific choices of duct material, and assuming air at standard temperature and pressure (STP), standard charts can be used to calculate the expected friction loss.

  7. Entrance length (fluid dynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entrance_length_(fluid...

    In fluid dynamics, the entrance length is the distance a flow travels after entering a pipe before the flow becomes fully developed. [1] Entrance length refers to the length of the entry region, the area following the pipe entrance where effects originating from the interior wall of the pipe propagate into the flow as an expanding boundary layer.

  8. Fanno flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanno_flow

    The viscous friction causes the flow properties to change along the duct. The frictional effect is modeled as a shear stress at the wall acting on the fluid with uniform properties over any cross section of the duct. For a flow with an upstream Mach number greater than 1.0 in a sufficiently long duct, deceleration occurs and the flow can become ...

  9. Sound attenuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_attenuator

    The pressure drop through a sound attenuator is typically higher than the pressure drop for an equivalent length of lined duct. However, significantly longer lengths of lined duct are required to achieve equal attenuation, at which point the pressure drop of large extents of lined duct is significantly greater than incurred through a single ...
