Parent topics

  • Physics [r]: The study of forces and energies in space and time. [e]
  • Engineering [r]: The profession in which a knowledge of the mathematical and natural sciences gained by study, experience and practice is applied with judgment to develop ways to economically use the materials and forces of nature for the benefit of mankind. [e]

Subtopics

  • Chemistry [r]: The science of matter, or of the electrical or electrostatical interactions of matter. [e]
  • Chemical engineering [r]: The field of engineering that deals with industrial and natural processes involving the chemical, physical or biological transformation of matter or energy into forms useful for mankind, economically and safely without compromising the environment [e]

  • Standard Cubic Feet Per Minute [r]: An acronym for "Standard cubic feet per minute" which is used to denote the volumetric flow rate of a gas (in the United States customary units) corrected to "standardized" conditions of temperature, pressure and relative humidity, thus representing a precise mass flow rate. [e]
  • Temperature [r]: A fundamental quantity in physics - describes how warm or cold a system is. [e]
