Agate is good protective energy stone, especially for children, and is very calming and soothing. It also can help strengthen the body's connection to the earth.
The friction factor, f, is a dimensionless factor that depends primarily on the velocity u, diameter D, density Ï, and viscosity Î·. It is also a function of wall roughness which depends on the size Îµ, spacing Îµ' and shape of the roughness elements characterized by Îµ''.
1 Skin friction is a component of drag, the force resisting the motion of a fluid across the surface of a body. 2  Internal friction is the force resisting motion between the elements making up a solid material while it undergoes deformation. When surfaces in contact move relative to each other, the friction between the two surfaces converts kinetic energy into thermal energy (that is, it converts work to heat).
