  2. Gas constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_constant

    Using his extensive measurements of the properties of gases, [6] [7] Mendeleev also calculated it with high precision, within 0.3% of its modern value. [ 8 ] The gas constant occurs in the ideal gas law: P V = n R T = m R s p e c i f i c T {\displaystyle PV=nRT=mR_{\rm {specific}}T} where P is the absolute pressure , V is the volume of gas, n ...

  3. Van der Waals equation - Wikipedia

    Here because is a multivalued function, the integral must be divided into 3 parts corresponding to the 3 real roots of the vdW equation in the form, (,) (this can be visualized most easily by imagining Fig. 1 rotated ); the result is a special case of material equilibrium. [62]

  4. Ideal gas law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideal_gas_law

    Isotherms of an ideal gas for different temperatures. The curved lines are rectangular hyperbolae of the form y = a/x. They represent the relationship between pressure (on the vertical axis) and volume (on the horizontal axis) for an ideal gas at different temperatures: lines that are farther away from the origin (that is, lines that are nearer to the top right-hand corner of the diagram ...

  5. Boltzmann constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boltzmann_constant

    Boltzmann constant: The Boltzmann constant, k, is one of seven fixed constants defining the International System of Units, the SI, with k = 1.380 649 x 10 −23 J K −1. The Boltzmann constant is a proportionality constant between the quantities temperature (with unit kelvin) and energy (with unit joule). [3]

  6. Partial differential equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_differential_equation

    In mathematics, a partial differential equation (PDE) is an equation which involves a multivariable function and one or more of its partial derivatives.. The function is often thought of as an "unknown" that solves the equation, similar to how x is thought of as an unknown number solving, e.g., an algebraic equation like x 2 − 3x + 2 = 0.

  7. List of chemical engineers - Wikipedia

    Pioneered the use of computers to solve optimization problems in kinetics and catalysis. Prolific publication record (see Rutherford Aris bibliography). University of Minnesota: Frances Arnold (born 1956) Pioneer of directed evolution of proteins, the process of using random mutations to optimize protein function. Nobel Prize in Chemistry, 2018

  8. Kinetic closest pair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_closest_pair

    Map each point p=(x, y) in the set P to a new point p' = (u, v) = (x+ √ 3 y, y-√ 3 x), forming the set P' of transformed points. Note that for a point p, the points in the "main" wedges have u and v coordinates either larger or smaller than p' in this new coordinate system. Sort the points by x,u and v coordinates, and store them in kinetic ...

  9. Green's function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green's_function

    Then, the Heaviside step function Θ(xx 0) is a Green's function of L at x 0. Let n = 2 and let the subset be the quarter-plane {(x, y) : x, y ≥ 0} and L be the Laplacian. Also, assume a Dirichlet boundary condition is imposed at x = 0 and a Neumann boundary condition is imposed at y = 0.
