P = ρ QHg is the water power equation. Where H = heead = meter g = gravity =m/s2 ρ =density = (kg/m3) P = power = watt = N-m/sec Q = water flow rate = m3/sec
Galvanized steel conductors do not corrode, and possess high resistance. Hence such Wires are used in telecommunications circuits, earth wires, guard wire, stray wire, etc.
The luminous efficiency of an electric lamp is the ratio of the luminous flux (in lumen) emitted by the lamp to the electric power (watt) given to it i.e. Luminous efficiency η = Luminous flux/Watt Note:- Lumens is the unit of measurement for luminous flux, which is the total amount of visible light emitted by a source. 1
When two solid surfaces are brought into contact, a finite normal force is needed to pull the two solids apart. This force is known as the force of adhesion or simply adhesion. The coefficient of adhesion () defined as the ratio of tractive effort required to propel the wheel of a locomotive to its adhesive weight. Adhesion traction is the friction between the drive wheels and the steel rail. µ = Ft/W Where Ft = Tractive effort W = Adhesive Weight
