  2. Head (vessel) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_(Vessel)

    This is a torispherical head also named Semi ellipsoidal head (According to DIN 28013). The radius of the dish is 80% of the diameter of the cylinder ( r 1 = 0.8 × D o {\displaystyle r_{1}=0.8\times Do} ).

  3. Hagen–Poiseuille equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hagen–Poiseuille_equation

    Using ideal gas equation of state for constant temperature process (i.e., / is constant) and the conservation of mass flow rate (i.e., ˙ = is constant), the relation Qp = Q 1 p 1 = Q 2 p 2 can be obtained. Over a short section of the pipe, the gas flowing through the pipe can be assumed to be incompressible so that Poiseuille law can be used ...

    Protein folding problem: Is it possible to predict the secondary, tertiary and quaternary structure of a polypeptide sequence based solely on the sequence and environmental information? Inverse protein-folding problem: Is it possible to design a polypeptide sequence which will adopt a given structure under certain environmental conditions?

  5. Volume (thermodynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_(thermodynamics)

    Specific volume is the volume occupied by a unit of mass of a material. [1] In many cases, the specific volume is a useful quantity to determine because, as an intensive property, it can be used to determine the complete state of a system in conjunction with another independent intensive variable .

  6. Defining equation (physical chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defining_equation...

    For example, the mass of water might be written in subscripts as m H 2 O, m water, m aq, m w (if clear from context) etc., or simply as m(H 2 O). Another example could be the electronegativity of the fluorine-fluorine covalent bond, which might be written with subscripts χ F-F, χ FF or χ F-F etc., or brackets χ(F-F), χ(FF) etc. Neither is ...

  7. Mathieu function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathieu_function

    Since we may add π/2 to x to change the sign of q, it is a usual convention to set q ≥ 0. They were first introduced by Émile Léonard Mathieu, who encountered them while studying vibrating elliptical drumheads. [1] [2] [3] They have applications in many fields of the physical sciences, such as optics, quantum mechanics, and general relativity.

  8. Finite volume method for two dimensional diffusion problem

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_volume_method_for...

    Graph of 2 dimensional plot. In addition to the east (E) and west (W) neighbors, a general grid node P, now also has north (N) and south (S) neighbors. The same notation is used here for all faces and cell dimensions as in one dimensional analysis. When the above equation is formally integrated over the Control volume, we obtain

  9. Poisson's equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisson's_equation

    Siméon Denis Poisson. Poisson's equation is an elliptic partial differential equation of broad utility in theoretical physics.For example, the solution to Poisson's equation is the potential field caused by a given electric charge or mass density distribution; with the potential field known, one can then calculate the corresponding electrostatic or gravitational (force) field.
