Define specific gravity?
The specific gravity is the ratio between the density of a material and the density of water, at a given temperature and pressure.
Why does the theoretical flow rate differ from the actual flow rate?
gravity,temperature type of fluid,pressure
Does air pressure affect gravity?
Gravity is a function of mass and distance. So, no air pressure does not affect gravity.
What term defined a product of mass and gravity?
The term that defines the product of mass and gravity is gravitational force or weight.
How do we use decimals in the pressure of gravity?
gravity use decimals by
To obtain the station pressure you must normally make corrections for?
Temperature and gravity.
As you go deeper into the earth what increases?
temperature and pressure density and the force of gravity
Define specific gravity?
The specific gravity is the ratio between the density of a material and the density of water, at a given temperature and pressure.
What is the specific gravity of gasoline in a gaseous state?
Specific gravity, (similar to density) has no meaning for a gas, since the density varies with pressure and temperature.
What happens when a liquid is not in a container?
In a gravity free situation, it will eventually stabilize into a sphere if the pressure and temperature conditions are right. In a gravity field the liquid will spread out until it finds the place where it doesn't "run downhill" anymore, if the pressure and temperature conditions are right. However it will stop spreading at a point where the surface tension is greater than the gravity.
Why does the theoretical flow rate differ from the actual flow rate?
gravity,temperature type of fluid,pressure
What happens within a contracting cloud in which gravity is stronger than pressure?
It continues to contract and collapse. In accordance with Boyle's Law, the compression of any gas also increases the temperature and pressure; at some point, the contraction will stop when pressure and gravity are equally balanced. With a very massive cloud of hydrogen, it's possible that the force of gravity will cause the extreme pressure and temperature sufficient to begin hydrogen fusion. At that point, as they say in Hollywood, "A Star Is Born".
What is the best cause of atmospheric pressure?
Gravity. Atmospheric pressure is the weight of a column of air. Of course, the temperature of that air changes it's density and therefore it's weight (i.e. pressure)
How does specific gravity effect head pressure?
Head pressure=specific gravity*1000*gravity*height. Therefore if specific gravity is increased head pressure will increase.
Why does the temperature of a protostar increase?
As gravity pulls more material toward the center of the protostar, the pressure inside the protostar builds.
Does specific gravity has units?
- The specific weight is the weight of a known volume of material at a given temperature and pressure; the unit of measure is kN/m3. - But if you think to relative density: Relative density (specific gravity) is the ratio between the density of the material to be tested and the density of water, at a given temperature and pressure; consequently no unit of measure for this ratio.
Hi I Know the specific gravity of a gas at NPT How can you calculate the specific gravity of tha gas at 400 bar pressure and ambient temperature?
Is this a school question that you simply don't know the answer to?
