51Bearing (mechanical) — A bearing is a device to allow constrained relative motion between two or more parts, typically rotation or linear movement. Bearings may be classified broadly according to the motions they allow and according to their principle of operation as… …
52Derivation of the Navier–Stokes equations — The intent of this article is to highlight the important points of the derivation of the Navier–Stokes equations as well as the application and formulation for different families of fluids. Contents 1 Basic assumptions 2 The material derivative 3 …
53Grashof number — The Grashof number mathrm{Gr} is a dimensionless number in fluid dynamics and Heat Transfer which approximates the ratio of the buoyancy to viscous force acting on a fluid. It frequently arises in the study of situations involving natural… …
54Gait analysis — is the study of animal locomotion, including locomotion of humans. Gait analysis is commonly used to help athletes run more efficiently and to identify posture related or movement related problems in people with injuries. The study encompasses… …
55Reynolds number — In fluid mechanics and heat transfer, the Reynolds number mathrm{Re} is a dimensionless number that gives a measure of the ratio of inertial forces ({old mathrm V} ho) to viscous forces (mu / L) and, consequently, it quantifies the relative… …
56Heat transfer — is a discipline of thermal engineering that concerns the exchange of thermal energy from one physical system to another. Heat transfer is classified into various mechanisms, such as heat conduction, convection, thermal radiation, and phase change …
57Stirling engine — Alpha type Stirling engine. There are two cylinders. The expansion cylinder (red) is maintained at a high temperature while the compression cylinder (blue) is cooled. The passage between the two cylinders contains the regenerator …
58Fast Kalman filter — The fast Kalman filter (FKF), devised by Antti Lange (1941 ), is an extension of the Helmert Wolf blockingfn|1 (HWB) method from geodesy to real time applications of Kalman filtering (KF) such as satellite imaging of the Earth. Kalman filters are …
59mechanics — /meuh kan iks/, n. 1. (used with a sing. v.) the branch of physics that deals with the action of forces on bodies and with motion, comprised of kinetics, statics, and kinematics. 2. (used with a sing. v.) the theoretical and practical application …
60river — river1 riverless, adj. riverlike, adj. /riv euhr/, n. 1. a natural stream of water of fairly large size flowing in a definite course or channel or series of diverging and converging channels. 2. a similar stream of something other than water: a… …
