  2. Logistic map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logistic_map

    However, equation (3-11) is a 16th-order equation, and even if we factor out the four solutions for the fixed points and the 2-periodic points, it is still a 12th-order equation. Therefore, it is no longer possible to solve this equation to obtain an explicit function of a that represents the values of the 4-periodic points in the same way as ...

  3. Sine and cosine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sine_and_cosine

    In mathematics, sine and cosine are trigonometric functions of an angle.The sine and cosine of an acute angle are defined in the context of a right triangle: for the specified angle, its sine is the ratio of the length of the side opposite that angle to the length of the longest side of the triangle (the hypotenuse), and the cosine is the ratio of the length of the adjacent leg to that of the ...

  4. Darcy friction factor formulae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darcy_friction_factor_formulae

    The Haaland equation was proposed in 1983 by Professor S.E. Haaland of the Norwegian Institute of Technology. [9] It is used to solve directly for the Darcy–Weisbach friction factor f for a full-flowing circular pipe. It is an approximation of the implicit Colebrook–White equation, but the discrepancy from experimental data is well within ...

  5. Friction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction

    Lubricant technology is when lubricants are mixed with the application of science, especially to industrial or commercial objectives. Superlubricity, a recently discovered effect, has been observed in graphite : it is the substantial decrease of friction between two sliding objects, approaching zero levels.

  6. Tribology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribology

    Tribology is the science and engineering of understanding friction, lubrication and wear phenomena for interacting surfaces in relative motion. It is highly interdisciplinary, drawing on many academic fields, including physics , chemistry , materials science , mathematics , biology and engineering . [ 1 ]

  7. Arrhenius equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrhenius_equation

    This has the same form as an equation for a straight line: = +, where x is the reciprocal of T. So, when a reaction has a rate constant obeying the Arrhenius equation, a plot of ln k versus T −1 gives a straight line, whose slope and intercept can be used to determine E a and A respectively. This procedure is common in experimental chemical ...

  8. Ordinary differential equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordinary_differential_equation

    In mathematics, an ordinary differential equation (ODE) is a differential equation (DE) dependent on only a single independent variable.As with any other DE, its unknown(s) consists of one (or more) function(s) and involves the derivatives of those functions. [1]

  9. Neutron star - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron_star

    This is one of the ways equations of state can be constrained by astronomical observations. To create these curves, one must solve the TOV equations for different central densities. For each central density, you numerically solve the mass and pressure equations until the pressure goes to zero, which is the outside of the star.
