tangential aerodynamic force
1Aerodynamic drag — Note This article is currently under renovation, and may, at times, appear disjoint. Please see the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Aerodynamic drag Discussion Page] . Introduction Aerodynamic drag refers to the retarding force on moving… …
2Vertical axis wind turbine — Vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT) are a type of wind turbine where the main rotor shaft runs vertically. Among the advantages of this arrangement are that generators and gearboxes can be placed close to the ground, and that VAWT do not need to… …
3Bicycle wheel — For the Marcel Duchamp installation, see Bicycle Wheel. The front wheel from a racing bicycle made using a Mavic rim …
4turbine — /terr bin, buyn/, n. any of various machines having a rotor, usually with vanes or blades, driven by the pressure, momentum, or reactive thrust of a moving fluid, as steam, water, hot gases, or air, either occurring in the form of free jets or as …
5Spoke — A spoke is one of some number of rods radiating from the center of a wheel (the hub where the axle connects), connecting the hub with the round traction surface. The term originally referred to portions of a log which had been split lengthwise… …
6External ballistics — is the part of the science of ballistics that deals with the behaviour of a non powered projectile in flight. External ballistics is frequently associated with firearms, and deals with the behaviour of the bullet after it exits the barrel and… …
7Centrifugal compressor — Centrifugal compressors, sometimes termed radial compressors, are a sub class of dynamic axisymmetric work absorbing turbomachinery.[1] Centrifugal impeller with a highly polished surface likely to improve performance …
8Helikon vortex separation process — The Helikon vortex separation process is an aerodynamic uranium enrichment process designed around a device called a vortex tube. This method was designed and used in South Africa for producing reactor fuel with a uranium 235 content of around… …
9solids, mechanics of — ▪ physics Introduction science concerned with the stressing (stress), deformation (deformation and flow), and failure of solid materials and structures. What, then, is a solid? Any material, fluid or solid, can support normal forces.… …
10Dynamischer Auftrieb — Der dynamische Auftrieb ist eine zentrale Größe in der Strömungslehre. Er ist der Anteil der auf einen umströmten Körper wirkenden Kraft, der senkrecht zur Strömung steht. Der dynamische Auftrieb ist das physikalische Grundprinzip für die… …
