Heat capacity of water: @20C @45C [W/gpm-C].
Hydraulic power of water: watt for every 1.00 gpm-psi
1 BHP is watts (shaft horsepower)
1 BHP motor needs watt-elec (@0.9 eff) and pumps gpm-psi (@0.7 eff) or
1 gpm-psi uses watt-elec, watt to air, watt to water
Film Temperature Drop [5]
Thermal growth dL/L from 0 C, 0<= T<= 1050C   [4]
Aluminum coef of expansion is between 2.1 and 2.5e-5/C near room temperature.  SS-316 is 1.6e-5/C
Thermal growth dL/L from ~ 293.15K (20C), 4<=T<=300K: (cINC is 718 Inconel).  [1]
Wire Sizes: converts from gauge to diameter in inches (good to about 3 digits).  Use -1 for 00, -3 for 0000.  converts from kcmil to diameter in inches.  10 gauge copper wire is about 0.001 ohm/foot.
1 BTU/h ~= watt.  1 calorie == joule
Helium:  1 g/sec ~= 20.725 watt (heat of vaporization)
Pressurized gas: 1 ft3-atm ~= 1435 J
9mm bullet (in flight) ~= 540 J
1 g TNT ~= 4600 J
Orifice Plate for gas: airlohms.php
Orifice for liquid:  Sto3 = Q [gpm]; Sto4 = K; Sto5 = P [psi];    [2]

[2] h [ft] = 2.31 * P [psi] / s.g.;  Q [gpm] = 25 A [in^2] K h^0.5
Q = 38 A K P^0.5;  K is about 0.8 for most orifices.;  d [in] = sqrt(Q / (30 K sqrt(P))
