For completeness, this article should define the terms "luminosity", "spectral luminosity", and "spectral radiant flux". I believe that luminosity is the total radiated power in Watts, while spectral luminosity is the radiated power per Hz or per unit wavelength (I'm not sure about this last).
Also, this article would be much more useful if it provided some information about measurement equipment and techniques.
P.S. I work mainly with RF, so I'm not really qualified to fill in the above. (edit comment)

Relative Pressure is not the same as Gage Pressure Italic textat allItalic text
Relative Pressure, or Pr, is a property of gasses and is defined as the quantity:
exp[s^o(T)/R]
where s^o(T) is the specific entropy at temperature T and Italic texta pressure of 1 atmItalic text. Therefore, s^o(T) is solely dependent on temperature. R is the ideal gas constant for the gas being analyzed. R can also be found be dividing the universal gas constant, Ru, by the molar mass, M, of the gas being analyzed.
This quantity is useful in analyzing isentropic terbines and compressors because:
P2/P1 = Pr2/Pr1
So if all you are given is the inlet and outlet temperature and the pressure at the inlet, you can find the pressure at the outlet using Pr values from a thermodynamic property table.
Gage Pressure is the pressure observed minus the atmospheric pressure as stated in the article. (edit comment)

I don't agree on the whole article because it goes against the basic principle of physics. I am preparing new article to replace this one. I challenge the author and physicists to debate on this concept. Luqmaanmm 15:23, 8 March 2007 (UTC) (edit comment)

October 29, 2006 |

|
There is still controversy over the cause of the shower-curtain effect. The impression is given by this article that the issue is settled. Following the links reveals several other "definitive" answers. One of the main hypothesized solutions is defined out of the equation by the article's opening sentence. No extensive testing has been done on the buoyancy hypothesis, so it should not be discounted. Numerous errors in interpreting the SciAm article have been found on the web.
The real-life "effect" is probably a combination of the various forces initially proposed as solutions for the observed effect. This would include buoyancy or thermal forces as well as vortex or entrainment/Bernoulli effects. Variety of shower curtains and shower geometries probably generate a unique balance of these forces for each shower.
Despite the extensive data backing the vortex force, no claim is made about the relative strength of this force compared to buoyancy forces. In real-life showers, buoyancy forces are often observed to dominate. More data is needed.
