Sentence examples for standard atmosphere from inspiring English sources

For example, in the Celsius (°C) temperature scale, the freezing point of pure water is arbitrarily assigned a temperature of 0 °C and the boiling point of water the value of 100 °C (in both cases at 1 standard atmosphere; see atmospheric pressure).

For example, the saturation vapour pressure at 40 °C (104 °F) is 74 mb (0.07 standard atmosphere), and the standard atmospheric pressure near 18,000 metres (59,000 feet) above sea level is also 74 mb; thus, it is where water boils at 40° C. The everyday response of relative humidity to temperature can be easily explained.

Designed in 1924 for the calibration of aircraft altimeters, the standard atmosphere is based on estimated 'mean' atmospheric conditions.

Standard atmosphere, unit of pressure, equal to the mean atmospheric pressure at sea level.

(One standard atmosphere of pressure equals 760 millimetres, or 29.92 inches, of mercury).

At 25 °C the saturation pressure is fully 32 mb (0.03 standard atmosphere).

During this process, under ambient temperature, normal pressure, and in a standard air atmosphere, metal or ceramic balls are accelerated and impacted repeatedly on a metal surface by means of mechanical vibrations; simultaneously, powder particles are sandwiched between the balls and the surface.

In both variants, the coolant consists of helium pressurized to approximately 100 bars, or roughly 100 standard atmospheres.

Atmospheric pressure is expressed in several different systems of units: millimetres (or inches) of mercury, pounds per square inch (psi), dynes per square centimetre, millibars (mb), standard atmospheres, or kilopascals.

The prototypes of the new sampler were exposed to standard atmospheres containing the pollutants of interest in a smog chamber.

Physiologists and mountaineers still discussed the issue; Pugh had been amongst the first to criticize Houston's mapping between standard atmospheres and 'real-world' altitudes, but his Silver Hut figures, when extrapolated, also seemed to show that an oxygenless ascent of Everest was at the extreme limit of human ability.
