ABSTRACT

In a mixture of gases, each gas exerts pressure independent of the others.

The partial pressure of each gas is proportional to the percentage of

the total volume occupied by that gas.

A description of the relation in a granular material among flow velo-

city, permeability and hydraulic gradient. This is applicable only below

a Reynolds number of 0.1. see Reynolds number

An expression for calculation of energy loss in fluid flow in terms of

velocity, pipe geometry and length. The friction factor, f, is a function

of pipe roughness and Reynolds number. The Moody diagram is used

for determination of f by iteration. see Moody diagram
