Density: Density is a measure of the mass per unit volume of a substance. It indicates how much matter is packed into a given space. P – Pressure in kPa R – Gas constant of air ( 0.287 kPa·m^3/kg·K) T – Temperature in Kelvin(K) Specific Gravity: Specific gravity is the ratio of the density of […]

Volume flow rate is to be determined from measurements of volume and time period. Volume flow rate is used to describe the flow of fluids (gases and liquids) in pipes, ducts, and vessels. It’s essential in designing and optimizing systems, such as: Water supply networks HVAC systems Chemical processing plants Oil and gas pipeline The

Wind turbines can be a great addition to a sustainable lifestyle. Although installation is expensive, they reduce the overall electricity bill. Wind mills are installed in windy areas like coasts, so that they engage and rotate the wings of the wind turbine. This rotating mechanical energy is converted to electrical energy, which is used in
