  2. Yield (engineering) - Wikipedia

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

    The yield strength or yield stress is a material property and is the stress corresponding to the yield point at which the material begins to deform plastically. The yield strength is often used to determine the maximum allowable load in a mechanical component, since it represents the upper limit to forces that can be applied without producing ...

  3. Yield (chemistry) - Wikipedia

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

    The theoretical molar yield is 2.0 mol (the molar amount of the limiting compound, acetic acid). The molar yield of the product is calculated from its weight (132 g ÷ 88 g/mol = 1.5 mol). The % yield is calculated from the actual molar yield and the theoretical molar yield (1.5 mol ÷ 2.0 mol × 100% = 75%). [citation needed]

  4. Structural engineering theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_engineering_theory

    Structural engineering depends upon a detailed knowledge of loads, physics and materials to understand and predict how structures support and resist self-weight and imposed loads. To apply the knowledge successfully structural engineers will need a detailed knowledge of mathematics and of relevant empirical and theoretical design codes.

  5. 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 ...

  6. Strength of materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_of_materials

    In general, the yield strength of a material is an adequate indicator of the material's mechanical strength. Considered in tandem with the fact that the yield strength is the parameter that predicts plastic deformation in the material, one can make informed decisions on how to increase the strength of a material depending on its microstructural ...

  7. Limiting reagent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limiting_reagent

    actual: = = Since the actual ratio is larger than required, O 2 is the reagent in excess, which confirms that benzene is the limiting reagent. Method 2: Comparison of product amounts which can be formed from each reactant

  8. Lists of physics equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_physics_equations

    In physics, there are equations in every field to relate physical quantities to each other and perform calculations. Entire handbooks of equations can only summarize most of the full subject, else are highly specialized within a certain field. Physics is derived of formulae only.

  9. Glossary of physics - Wikipedia

    theoretical physics A branch of physics that employs mathematical models and abstractions of physical objects and systems in order to rationalize, explain, and predict natural phenomena, as opposed to experimental physics, which relies on data generated by experimental observations. theory of everything (ToE) theory of relativity thermal conduction
