  2. Lifting gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifting_gas

    The amount of mass that can be lifted by hydrogen in air per unit volume at sea level, equal to the density difference between hydrogen and air, is: (1.292 - 0.090) kg/m 3 = 1.202 kg/m 3. and the buoyant force for one m 3 of hydrogen in air at sea level is: 1 m 3 × 1.202 kg/m 3 × 9.8 N/kg= 11.8 N

  3. Equivalent airspeed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalent_airspeed

    where a 0 is 1,225 km/h (661.45 kn) (the standard speed of sound at 15 °C), M is the Mach number, P is static pressure, and P 0 is standard sea level pressure (1013.25 hPa). Combining the above with the expression for Mach number gives EAS as a function of impact pressure and static pressure (valid for subsonic flow):

  4. Standard temperature and pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_temperature_and...

    In aeronautics and fluid dynamics the "International Standard Atmosphere" (ISA) is a specification of pressure, temperature, density, and speed of sound at each altitude. At standard mean sea level it specifies a temperature of 15 °C (59 °F), pressure of 101,325 pascals (14.6959 psi) (1 atm ), and a density of 1.2250 kilograms per cubic meter ...

  5. Atmosphere of Earth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmosphere_of_Earth

    Total atmospheric mass is 5.1480 × 10 18 kg (1.13494 × 10 19 lb), [36] about 2.5% less than would be inferred from the average sea-level pressure and Earth's area of 51007.2 megahectares, this portion being displaced by Earth's mountainous terrain. Atmospheric pressure is the total weight of the air above unit area at the point where the ...

  6. Speed of sound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_sound

    For example, while sound travels at 343 m/s in air, it travels at 1481 m/s in water (almost 4.3 times as fast) and at 5120 m/s in iron (almost 15 times as fast). In an exceptionally stiff material such as diamond , sound travels at 12,000 m/s (39,370 ft/s), [ 2 ] – about 35 times its speed in air and about the fastest it can travel under ...

  7. Density of air - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density_of_air

    [citation needed] Pure liquid water is 1,000 kg/m 3 (62 lb/cu ft). Air density is a property used in many branches of science, engineering, and industry, including aeronautics; [2] [3] [4] gravimetric analysis; [5] the air-conditioning industry; [6] atmospheric research and meteorology; [7] [8] [9] agricultural engineering (modeling and ...

  8. Speeds of sound of the elements - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speeds_of_sound_of_the...

    The speed of sound in any chemical element in the fluid phase has one temperature-dependent value. In the solid phase , different types of sound wave may be propagated, each with its own speed: among these types of wave are longitudinal (as in fluids), transversal , and (along a surface or plate) extensional .

  9. Liquid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid

    The speed of sound in a liquid is given by = / where is the bulk modulus of the liquid and the density. As an example, water has a bulk modulus of about 2.2 GPa and a density of 1000 kg/m 3, which gives c = 1.5 km/s. [38]
