Velocity of Piston - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Velocity of piston in reciprocating pump is defined as the product of sin of angular velocity and time, radius of crank and angular velocity.
Pressure Gradient - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Pressure Gradient is the change in pressure with respect to radial distance of element.
Horizontal Distance - (Measured in Meter) - Horizontal Distance denotes the instantaneous horizontal distance cover by an object in a projectile motion.
Hydraulic Clearance - (Measured in Meter) - Hydraulic Clearance is the gap or space between two surfaces adjacent to each other.
Dynamic Viscosity - (Measured in Pascal Second) - The Dynamic Viscosity of a fluid is the measure of its resistance to flow when an external force is applied.
Fluid Velocity in Oil Tank - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Fluid Velocity in Oil Tank is the volume of fluid flowing in the given vessel per unit cross sectional area.
