https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear%20rate | In physics, shear rate is the rate at which a progressive shearing deformation is applied to some material.
Simple shear
The shear rate for a fluid flowing between two parallel plates, one moving at a constant speed and the other one stationary (Couette flow), is defined by
where:
is the shear rate, measured in re... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Couette%20flow | In fluid dynamics, Couette flow is the flow of a viscous fluid in the space between two surfaces, one of which is moving tangentially relative to the other. The relative motion of the surfaces imposes a shear stress on the fluid and induces flow. Depending on the definition of the term, there may also be an applied pre... |

It was designed as a time-triggered fieldbus for vehicles and industrial applications. and standardized in 2011 as SAE AS6003 (TTP Communication Protocol). TTP controllers have accumulated over 500 million flight hours in comme... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clark%20electrode | The Clark electrode is an electrode that measures ambient oxygen partial pressure in a liquid using a catalytic platinum surface according to the net reaction:
O2 + 4 e− + 4 H+ → 2 H2O
It improves on a bare platinum electrode by use of a membrane to reduce fouling and metal plating onto the platinum.
