  2. Boltzmann equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boltzmann_equation

    The classic example of such a system is a fluid with temperature gradients in space causing heat to flow from hotter regions to colder ones, by the random but biased transport of the particles making up that fluid. In the modern literature the term Boltzmann equation is often used in a more general sense, referring to any kinetic equation that ...

  3. Marine Engineers' Beneficial Association - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_Engineers...

    During World War I, the need for more engineers called for the US government to quickly train marine engineers.However, after the war, such practices continued, and on January 20, 1919, the Marine Engineers' Beneficial Association agreed to petition the use of "30 day engineers", believing there are enough resources to properly train the next generation of merchant marines.

  4. M939 series 5-ton 6×6 truck - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M939_series_5-ton_6×6_truck

    The M939 is a 5-ton 6×6 U.S. military heavy truck.The basic cargo versions were designed to transport a 10,000 pounds (4,500 kg) cargo load over all terrain in all weather.

  5. Reynolds transport theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reynolds_transport_theorem

    Reynolds transport theorem can be expressed as follows: [1] [2] [3] = + () in which n(x,t) is the outward-pointing unit normal vector, x is a point in the region and is the variable of integration, dV and dA are volume and surface elements at x, and v b (x,t) is the velocity of the area element (not the flow velocity).

  6. Mergers and acquisitions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mergers_and_acquisitions

    Low transport costs, coupled with economies of scale also increased firm size by two- to fourfold during the second half of the nineteenth century. In addition, technological changes prior to the merger movement within companies increased the efficient size of plants with capital intensive assembly lines allowing for economies of scale.

  7. Ekman transport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ekman_transport

    Ekman transport is part of Ekman motion theory, first investigated in 1902 by Vagn Walfrid Ekman. Winds are the main source of energy for ocean circulation, and Ekman transport is a component of wind-driven ocean current. [1] Ekman transport occurs when ocean surface waters are influenced by the friction force acting on them via the wind.

  8. Ballistic conduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballistic_conduction

    where g s = 2, due to spin degeneracy, e is the electron charge, h is the Planck constant, and are the Fermi levels of A and B, M(E) is the number of propagating modes in the channel, f′(E) is the deviation from the equilibrium electron distribution (perturbation), and T(E) is the transmission probability (T = 1 for ballistic).
