  2. Intraocular lens power calculation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intraocular_lens_power...

    The aim of an accurate intraocular lens power calculation is to provide an intraocular lens (IOL) that fits the specific needs and desires of the individual patient. The development of better instrumentation for measuring the eye's axial length (AL) and the use of more precise mathematical formulas to perform the appropriate calculations have significantly improved the accuracy with which the ...

  3. API gravity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/API_gravity

    The American Petroleum Institute gravity, or API gravity, is a measure of how heavy or light a petroleum liquid is compared to water: if its API gravity is greater than 10, it is lighter and floats on water; if less than 10, it is heavier and sinks.

  4. Free-air gravity anomaly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-air_gravity_anomaly

    Gravity is computed on the ellipsoid surface using the International Gravity Formula. For studies of subsurface structure, the free-air anomaly is further adjusted by a correction for the mass below the measurement point and above the reference of mean sea level or a local datum elevation. [3] This defines the Bouguer anomaly.

  5. Density altitude - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density_altitude

    Density Altitude Computation Chart [1]. The density altitude is the altitude relative to standard atmospheric conditions at which the air density would be equal to the indicated air density at the place of observation.

  6. Darcy friction factor formulae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darcy_friction_factor_formulae

    In this article, the following conventions and definitions are to be understood: The Reynolds number Re is taken to be Re = V D / ν, where V is the mean velocity of fluid flow, D is the pipe diameter, and where ν is the kinematic viscosity μ / ρ, with μ the fluid's Dynamic viscosity, and ρ the fluid's density.

  7. Compressive strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressive_strength

    The parameters (,,,) obtained from a test result can be used with these formulas to calculate the equivalent true stress ´ at failure. Specimen shape effect The graph of specimen shape effect shows how the ratio of true stress to engineering stress (σ´/σ e ) varies with the aspect ratio of the test specimen ( d o / l o {\textstyle d_{o}/l ...

  8. Eötvös effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eötvös_effect

    The Eötvös effect is the change in measured Earth's gravity caused by the change in centrifugal acceleration resulting from eastbound or westbound velocity.When moving eastbound, the object's angular velocity is increased (in addition to Earth's rotation), and thus the centrifugal force also increases, causing a perceived reduction in gravitational force.

  9. Ballistic coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballistic_coefficient

    When the correct G model retardation factors are applied within the Siacci mathematical formula for the same G model C b, a corrected trajectory can be calculated for any G model. Another method of determining trajectory and ballistic coefficient was developed and published by Wallace H. Coxe and Edgar Beugless of DuPont in 1936.
