volumetric ratio
1Volumetric efficiency — in internal combustion engine design refers to the efficiency with which the engine can move the charge into and out of the cylinders. More correctly, volumetric efficiency is a ratio (or percentage) of what volume of fuel and air actually enters …
2Volumetric flow rate — The volumetric flow rate in fluid dynamics and hydrometry, (also known as volume flow rate or rate of fluid flow) is the volume of fluid which passes through a given surface per unit time (for example cubic meters per second [m3 s 1] in SI units …
3color ratio — noun : the volumetric ratio of dark minerals to light in igneous rocks …
4Compression ratio — For compression ratio in data compression, see data compression ratio. The compression ratio of an internal combustion engine or external combustion engine is a value that represents the ratio of the volume of its combustion chamber from its… …
5Poisson's ratio — ( ν ), named after Simeon Poisson, is the ratio of the relative contraction strain, or transverse strain (normal to the applied load), divided by the relative extension strain, or axial strain (in the direction of the applied load).When a sample… …
6Heat capacity ratio — The heat capacity ratio or adiabatic index or ratio of specific heats, is the ratio of the heat capacity at constant pressure (C P) to heat capacity at constant volume (C V). It is sometimes also known as the isentropic expansion factor and is… …
7Air to cloth ratio — The air to cloth ratio is the volumetric flow rate of air (m³/minute) flowing through a dust collector s inlet duct divided by the total cloth area (m²) in the filters. The result is expressed in units of velocityThe air to cloth ratio is… …
8Flow chemistry — In flow chemistry, a chemical reaction is run in a continuously flowing stream rather than in batch production. In other words, pumps move fluid into a tube, and where tubes join one another, the fluids contact one another. If these fluids are… …
9Glossary of fuel cell terms — The Glossary of fuel cell terms lists the definitions of many terms used within the fuel cell industry. The terms in this glossary may be used by fuel cell industry associations, in education material and fuel cell codes and standards to name but …
