  2. Gouy–Stodola theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gouy–Stodola_theorem

    The theorem is also useful on a more microscopic scale, in biology. Living systems, such as cells, can be analyzed thermodynamically. They are rather complex systems, where many energy transformations occur, and they often waste heat. Hence, the Gouy-Stodola theorem may be useful, in certain situations, to perform exergy analysis on such systems.

  3. Gouy balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gouy_balance

    Schematic diagram of Gouy balance. The Gouy balance, invented by the French physicist Louis Georges Gouy, is a device for measuring the magnetic susceptibility of a sample. . The Gouy balance operates on magnetic torque, by placing the sample on a horizontal arm or beam suspended by a thin fiber, and placing either a permanent magnet or electromagnet on the other end of the arm, there is a ...

    Louis Georges Gouy. Louis Georges Gouy (February 19, 1854 – January 27, 1926) [1] was a French physicist.He is the namesake of the Gouy balance, the Gouy–Chapman electric double layer model (which is a relatively successful albeit limited model that describes the electrical double-layer which finds applications in vast areas of studies from physical chemistry to biophysics) and the Gouy phase.

    The enumerations of Theorems one and two can also be found using generating functions involving simple rational expressions. The two cases are very similar; we will look at the case when , that is, Theorem two first. There is only one configuration for a single bin and any given number of objects (because the objects are not distinguished).

  6. Hermite interpolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermite_interpolation

    In numerical analysis, Hermite interpolation, named after Charles Hermite, is a method of polynomial interpolation, which generalizes Lagrange interpolation.Lagrange interpolation allows computing a polynomial of degree less than n that takes the same value at n given points as a given function.

  7. Gödel numbering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gödel_numbering

    Gödel specifically used this scheme at two levels: first, to encode sequences of symbols representing formulas, and second, to encode sequences of formulas representing proofs. This allowed him to show a correspondence between statements about natural numbers and statements about the provability of theorems about natural numbers, the proof's ...

  8. Skin effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_effect

    One full wavelength in the conductor requires 2 π skin depths, at which point the current density is attenuated to e −2 π (1.87×10 −3, or −54.6 dB) of its surface value. The wavelength in the conductor is much shorter than the wavelength in vacuum , or equivalently, the phase velocity in a conductor is very much slower than the speed ...

  9. Polynomial interpolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_interpolation

    The original use of interpolation polynomials was to approximate values of important transcendental functions such as natural logarithm and trigonometric functions.Starting with a few accurately computed data points, the corresponding interpolation polynomial will approximate the function at an arbitrary nearby point.
