Beside being a model of theoretical significance, the hard-sphere system is used as a basis in the formulation of several modern, predictive Equations of State for real fluids through the SAFT approach, and models for transport properties in gases through Chapman-Enskog Theory.
A corollary is that inside a solid sphere of constant density, the gravitational force within the object varies linearly with distance from the center, becoming zero by symmetry at the center of mass. This can be seen as follows: take a point within such a sphere, at a distance from the center of the sphere. Then you can ignore all of the ...
In mathematics, a ball is the solid figure bounded by a sphere; it is also called a solid sphere. [1] It may be a closed ball (including the boundary points that constitute the sphere) or an open ball (excluding them).
Sphere packing finds practical application in the stacking of cannonballs. In geometry , a sphere packing is an arrangement of non-overlapping spheres within a containing space. The spheres considered are usually all of identical size, and the space is usually three- dimensional Euclidean space .
Contact between a sphere and an elastic half-space and one-dimensional replaced model Some contact problems can be solved with the method of dimensionality reduction (MDR). In this method, the initial three-dimensional system is replaced with a contact of a body with a linear elastic or viscoelastic foundation (see fig.).
The Scaled Particle Theory (SPT) is an equilibrium theory of hard-sphere fluids which gives an approximate expression for the equation of state of hard-sphere mixtures and for their thermodynamic properties such as the surface tension.
Thomson's model marks the moment when the development of atomic theory passed from chemists to physicists. While atomic theory was widely accepted by chemists by the end of the 19th century, physicists remained skeptical because the atomic model lacked any properties which concerned their field, such as electric charge, magnetic moment, volume, or absolute mass.
Reduced specific heat for KCl, TiO2, and graphite, compared with the Debye theory based on elastic measurements (solid lines) [1]. In thermodynamics and solid-state physics, the Debye model is a method developed by Peter Debye in 1912 to estimate phonon contribution to the specific heat (heat capacity) in a solid. [2]
