noun phrasecoefficient of viscosity
noun phrasecoefficient of compressibility
: the decrease in volume per unit volume (as of a gas) produced by a unit change in pressure
coefficient of contingency
: a measure of association between statistical variables which have quantitative categories of unequal magnitude or at least one of which can be classified only qualitatively
coefficient of contraction
: the ratio of the cross-sectional area of the first vena contracta to the area of the discharge aperture
coefficient of discharge
: the ratio of the actual discharge to the ideal discharge, assuming unit coefficients of contraction and velocity, equal to the product of these coefficients
coefficient of drag
noun: drag coefficient —abbreviation Cd
coefficient of elasticity
coefficient of expansion
: the ratio of the increase of length, area, or volume of a body per degree rise in temperature to its length, area, or volume, respectively, at some specified temperature, commonly 0° C, the pressure being kept constant
coefficient of friction
: the ratio of the tangential force that is needed to start or to maintain uniform relative motion between two contacting surfaces to the perpendicular force holding them in contact, the ratio usually being larger for starting than for moving friction
