• Mechanical engineering [r]: The branch of engineering concerned with the utilisation of the basic laws of mathematics, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, and system dynamics in order to create unique solutions to physical problems. ^[e]
• Nuclear engineering [r]: The field of engineering whose main focus is to use the energy provided by nuclear fission or fusion for practical purposes. ^[e]
  • Hydrodynamic testing [r]: During an high-speed event driven by explosives, such as the implosion of a fission device, the high pressures and temperatures cause metals and other materials to flow like liquids; the behavior can be described by fluid dynamics techniques; to observe these flows require high-speed flashes of X-rays or proton ^[e]

Other related topics

• Air [r]: A colorless, odorless and tasteless mixture of gases consisting mostly of nitrogen (N₂) and oxygen (O₂) which is the part of Earth's atmosphere that humans and all other animals breathe in order to obtain the oxygen needed to sustain life. ^[e]
• Choked flow [r]: A limiting point for the mass flow rate of a gas which occurs under specific conditions when the gas flows through a restriction (such as a valve, a convergent-divergent nozzle, the hole in an orifice plate, or a leak in a gas pipeline or other gas container) into a lower pressure environment. ^[e]
