  2. Hypersonic speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypersonic_speed

    Characteristics of flow Simulation of hypersonic speed (Mach 5) While the definition of hypersonic flow can be quite vague and is generally debatable (especially due to the absence of discontinuity between supersonic and hypersonic flows), a hypersonic flow may be characterized by certain physical phenomena that can no longer be analytically discounted as in supersonic flow.

  3. Radar speed gun - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_speed_gun

    A radar speed gun, also known as a radar gun, speed gun, or speed trap gun, is a device used to measure the speed of moving objects. It is commonly used by police to check the speed of moving vehicles while conducting traffic enforcement , and in professional sports to measure speeds such as those of baseball pitches , [1] tennis serves , and ...

  5. Nuclear reactor physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_reactor_physics

    Nuclear reactor physics is the field of physics that studies and deals with the applied study and engineering applications of chain reaction to induce a controlled rate of fission in a nuclear reactor for the production of energy. [1] Most nuclear reactors use a chain reaction to induce a controlled rate of nuclear fission in fissile material ...

  6. Rotameter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotameter

    Medical oxygen regulator with rotameter. Multi-gas flowmeter. A rotameter is a device that measures the volumetric flow rate of fluid in a closed tube. [1] It belongs to a class of meters called variable-area flowmeters, which measure flow rate by allowing the cross-sectional area the fluid travels through to vary, causing a measurable effect. [2]

  7. Chip log - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chip_log

    A chip log consists of a wooden board attached to a line (the log-line ). The log-line has a number of knots at uniform intervals. The log-line is wound on a reel so the user can easily pay it out . Over time, log construction standardized. The shape is a quarter circle, or quadrant with a radius of 5 inches (130 mm) or 6 inches (150 mm), [1 ...

    Athletics1600 Meters. 1600 meters is a middle distance track and field running event that is slightly shorter than the more common mile run, and 100m longer than the much more common 1500m run . It is a standardized event in track meets conducted by the NFHS in American high school competition, often being colloquially referred to as "the mile ...

  9. Oxy-fuel welding and cutting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxy-fuel_welding_and_cutting

    Oxy-fuel welding (commonly called oxyacetylene welding, oxy welding, or gas welding in the United States) and oxy-fuel cutting are processes that use fuel gases (or liquid fuels such as gasoline or petrol, diesel, biodiesel, kerosene, etc) and oxygen to weld or cut metals. French engineers Edmond Fouché and Charles Picard became the first to ...
