  2. Non-Newtonian fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-Newtonian_fluid

    Flubber, also commonly known as slime, is a non-Newtonian fluid, easily made from polyvinyl alcohol–based glues (such as white "school" glue) and borax. It flows under low stresses but breaks under higher stresses and pressures. This combination of fluid-like and solid-like properties makes it a Maxwell fluid.

  3. Phase diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_diagram

    These two types of mixtures result in very different graphs. Another type of binary phase diagram is a boiling-point diagram for a mixture of two components, i. e. chemical compounds . For two particular volatile components at a certain pressure such as atmospheric pressure , a boiling-point diagram shows what vapor (gas) compositions are in ...

  4. Van der Waals equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_der_Waals_equation

    The inset in Fig. B shows the mixture states which are a combination of the saturated liquid and vapor states that exist at each end of the line, intersections of the mixture line and its isotherm. However, these mixture states are not part of the surface generated by the van der Waals equation; they are not solutions of the equation.

  5. Three utilities problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_utilities_problem

    , is a graph with six vertices and nine edges, often referred to as the utility graph in reference to the problem. [1] It has also been called the Thomsen graph after 19th-century chemist Julius Thomsen. It is a well-covered graph, the smallest triangle-free cubic graph, and the smallest non-planar minimally rigid graph.

  6. Miscibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miscibility

    Diesel fuel is immiscible in water.The bright rainbow pattern is the result of thin-film interference.. Miscibility (/ ˌ m ɪ s ɪ ˈ b ɪ l ɪ t i /) is the property of two substances to mix in all proportions (that is, to fully dissolve in each other at any concentration), forming a homogeneous mixture (a solution).

  7. Ideal solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideal_solution

    An ideal solution or ideal mixture is a solution that exhibits thermodynamic properties analogous to those of a mixture of ideal gases. [1] The enthalpy of mixing is zero [2] as is the volume change on mixing by definition; the closer to zero the enthalpy of mixing is, the more "ideal" the behavior of the solution becomes.

  8. Regular solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_solution

    In contrast to ideal solutions, regular solutions do possess a non-zero enthalpy of mixing, due to the W term. If the unlike interactions are more unfavorable than the like ones, we get competition between an entropy of mixing term that produces a minimum in the Gibbs free energy at x 1 = 0.5 and the enthalpy term that has a maximum there.

  9. Phase (matter) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_(matter)

    A mixture of water (a polar liquid) and oil (a non-polar liquid) will spontaneously separate into two phases. Water has a very low solubility (is insoluble) in oil, and oil has a low solubility in water. Solubility is the maximum amount of a solute that can dissolve in a solvent before the solute ceases to dissolve and remains in a separate phase.
