    Angular velocity: the angular velocity ω is the rate at which the angular position θ changes with respect to time t: = The angular velocity is represented in Figure 1 by a vector Ω pointing along the axis of rotation with magnitude ω and sense determined by the direction of rotation as given by the right-hand rule.

  3. Geostationary transfer orbit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geostationary_transfer_orbit

    For a typical GTO with a semi-major axis of 24,582 km, perigee velocity is 9.88 km/s and apogee velocity is 1.64 km/s, clearly making the inclination change far less costly at apogee. In practice, the inclination change is combined with the orbital circularization (or " apogee kick ") burn to reduce the total Δ V {\displaystyle \Delta V} for ...

  4. Boundary layer thickness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_layer_thickness

    The boundary layer thickness, , is the distance normal to the wall to a point where the flow velocity has essentially reached the 'asymptotic' velocity, .Prior to the development of the Moment Method, the lack of an obvious method of defining the boundary layer thickness led much of the flow community in the later half of the 1900s to adopt the location , denoted as and given by

  5. Areal velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Areal_velocity

    In classical mechanics, areal velocity (also called sector velocity or sectorial velocity) is a pseudovector whose length equals the rate of change at which area is swept out by a particle as it moves along a curve. It has SI units of square meters per second (m 2 /s) and dimension of square length per time L 2 T-1.

  6. Flow coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_coefficient

    For air flow at room temperature, when the outlet pressure is less than 1/2 the absolute inlet pressure, the flow becomes quite simple (although it reaches sonic velocity internally). With C v = 1.0 and 200 psia inlet pressure, the flow is 100 standard cubic feet per minute (scfm).

  7. Hohmann transfer orbit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hohmann_transfer_orbit

    The diagram shows a Hohmann transfer orbit to bring a spacecraft from a lower circular orbit into a higher one. It is an elliptic orbit that is tangential both to the lower circular orbit the spacecraft is to leave (cyan, labeled 1 on diagram) and the higher circular orbit that it is to reach (red, labeled 3 on diagram).

  8. Colt Delta Elite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colt_Delta_Elite

    The Colt Delta Elite is a modified series 80 M1911 pistol chambered for the 10mm Auto cartridge. It was first introduced in 1987 by the Colt's Manufacturing Company. [1]The Delta Elite is credited as being the first firearm produced by a major manufacturer to chamber the 10mm.

  9. Fluid flow through porous media - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_flow_through_porous...

    The movement of a fluid through porous media is described by the combination of Darcy's law with the principle of conservation of mass in order to express the capillary force or fluid velocity as a function of various other parameters including the effective pore radius, liquid viscosity or permeability.
