What is a Deci-Hour? Answers Needed

AI Thread Summary
A deci-hour is a metric time unit that represents one-tenth of an hour, equating to 6 minutes. Confusion arises from varying interpretations, with some sources inaccurately suggesting it could range from 7 minutes to 2.4 hours. The discussion also touches on the need for a shift to a metric time system, proposing a 10-hour day. Additionally, the term "deci" as a metric prefix denotes a factor of one-tenth. Clarity on these definitions is essential for understanding metric time concepts.

Not sure where to post this question:
Does anyone know what exactly a deci-hour is? I have googled about this, but every website says something different... from about 7 minutes to 2.4 hours...
Thanks.

and yes, this is completely without basis.
 
What is a deci-meter? Do you understand what the definition of the metric prefix "deci" implies?

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'

I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...
