  2. Alligation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alligation

    Alligation is an old and practical method of solving arithmetic problems related to mixtures of ingredients. There are two types of alligation: alligation medial, used to find the quantity of a mixture given the quantities of its ingredients, and alligation alternate, used to find the amount of each ingredient needed to make a mixture of a given quantity.

  3. Wine/water mixing problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine/water_mixing_problem

    In the wine/water mixing problem, one starts with two barrels, one holding wine and the other an equal volume of water. A cup of wine is taken from the wine barrel and added to the water. A cup of the wine/water mixture is then returned to the wine barrel, so that the volumes in the barrels are again equal.

  4. Self-similar solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-similar_solution

    The early identification of self-similar solutions of the second kind can be found in problems of imploding shock waves (Guderley–Landau–Stanyukovich problem), analyzed by G. Guderley (1942) and Lev Landau and K. P. Stanyukovich (1944), [3] and propagation of shock waves by a short impulse, analysed by Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker [4] and ...

  5. Dilution (equation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilution_(equation)

    Dilution is the process of decreasing the concentration of a solute in a solution, usually simply by mixing with more solvent like adding more water to the solution. To dilute a solution means to add more solvent without the addition of more solute. The resulting solution is thoroughly mixed so as to ensure that all parts of the solution are ...

  6. Mixing ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixing_Ratio

    The condition to get a partially ideal solution on mixing is that the volume of the resulting mixture V to equal double the volume V s of each solution mixed in equal volumes due to the additivity of volumes. The resulting volume can be found from the mass balance equation involving densities of the mixed and resulting solutions and equalising ...

  7. Volume fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_fraction

    The volume of such a mixture is slightly less than the sum of the volumes of the components. Thus, by the above definition, the term "40% alcohol by volume" refers to a mixture of 40 volume units of ethanol with enough water to make a final volume of 100 units, rather than a mixture of 40 units of ethanol with 60 units of water.

  9. Water pouring puzzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_pouring_puzzle

    Solution to puzzle with 3 L and 5 L jugs, a tap and a drain Two solutions on a Cartesian grid, the upper one equivalent to the diagram on the left. The rules are sometimes formulated by adding a tap (a source "jug" with infinite water) and a sink (a drain "jug" that accepts any amount of water without limit).
