Constants

Constant quantities of widely-accepted physical properties.

aguaclara.core.constants.GRAVITY = <Quantity(9.80665, 'meter / second ** 2')>

Gravitational constant

DEPRECATED: 1 * u.gravity should be used instead

aguaclara.core.constants.WATER_DENSITY = <Quantity(1000.0, 'kilogram / meter ** 3')>

Density of water

DEPRECATED: core.physchem.density_water() should be used instead

aguaclara.core.constants.WATER_NU = <Quantity(1e-06, 'meter ** 2 / second')>

Kinematic viscosity of water

DEPRECATED: core.physchem.viscosity_kinematic() should be used instead

aguaclara.core.constants.ATM_P = <Quantity(1, 'standard_atmosphere')>

Atmospheric pressure

DEPRECATED: 1 * u.atm should be used instead

aguaclara.core.constants.AIR_NU = <Quantity(12.0, 'millimeter ** 2 / second')>

Average kinematic viscosity of air

DEPRECATED: viscosity of air should be determined by temperature and atmospheric pressure

aguaclara.core.constants.JET_ROUND_RATIO = 0.08: The ratio of maximum energy dissipation rate in a round jet to the kinetic energy per time required for the jet to travel a distance equal to its diameter. See round jet in the AguaClara textbook for more details.

aguaclara.core.constants.JET_PLANE_RATIO = 0.0124: The ratio of maximum energy dissipation rate in a plane jet to the kinetic energy per time required for the jet to travel a distance equal to its diameter. This ratio applies to jets in the flocculator and sedimentation tank. See plane jet in the AguaClara textbook for more details.

aguaclara.core.constants.VC_ORIFICE_RATIO = 0.63: Vena contracta coefficient through an orifice with 90˚ bends. This is the ratio of the flow area at the point of maximal contraction to the flow area before the contraction.
