  2. Conversion (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_(chemistry)

    Conversion and its related terms yield and selectivity are important terms in chemical reaction engineering.They are described as ratios of how much of a reactant has reacted (X — conversion, normally between zero and one), how much of a desired product was formed (Y — yield, normally also between zero and one) and how much desired product was formed in ratio to the undesired product(s) (S ...

  3. Yield (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yield_(chemistry)

    The yield coefficient is defined as the amount of cell mass (kg) or product formed (kg,mol) [Notes 1] related to the consumed substrate (carbon or nitrogen source or oxygen in kg or moles) or to the intracellular ATP production (moles)." [4] [5]: 168

  4. Split-Hopkinson pressure bar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-Hopkinson_pressure_bar

    The Hopkinson pressure bar was first suggested by Bertram Hopkinson in 1914 [1] as a way to measure stress pulse propagation in a metal bar. Later, in 1949 Herbert Kolsky [2] refined Hopkinson's technique by using two Hopkinson bars in series, now known as the split-Hopkinson bar, to measure stress and strain, incorporating advancements in the cathode ray oscilloscope in conjunction with ...

    The combustion product mass is then 15.56 kg. At exact stoichiometry, O 2 should be absent. At 15 percent excess air, the AFR = 16.75, and the mass of the combustion product gas is 17.75 kg, which contains 0.505 kg of excess oxygen. The combustion gas thus contains 2.84 percent O 2 by mass.

  6. Euler's critical load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_critical_load

    This formula was derived in 1744 by the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler. [2] The column will remain straight for loads less than the critical load. The critical load is the greatest load that will not cause lateral deflection (buckling). For loads greater than the critical load, the column will deflect laterally.

    ISO 18265: "Metallic materials — Conversion of hardness values" (2013) ASTM E140-12B(2019)e1: "Standard Hardness Conversion Tables for Metals Relationship Among Brinell Hardness, Vickers Hardness, Rockwell Hardness, Superficial Hardness, Knoop Hardness, Scleroscope Hardness, and Leeb Hardness" (2019)

  8. Mass transfer coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_transfer_coefficient

    In engineering, the mass transfer coefficient is a diffusion rate constant that relates the mass transfer rate, mass transfer area, and concentration change as driving force: [1] = ˙ Where: is the mass transfer coefficient [mol/(s·m 2)/(mol/m 3)], or m/s

  9. Torsion constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torsion_constant

    The torsion constant or torsion coefficient is a geometrical property of a bar's cross-section. It is involved in the relationship between angle of twist and applied torque along the axis of the bar, for a homogeneous linear elastic bar. The torsion constant, together with material properties and length, describes a bar's torsional stiffness.
