  2. Delta-v - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta-v

    Delta-v is typically provided by the thrust of a rocket engine, but can be created by other engines. The time-rate of change of delta-v is the magnitude of the acceleration caused by the engines, i.e., the thrust per total vehicle mass. The actual acceleration vector would be found by adding thrust per mass on to the gravity vector and the ...

  3. Delta-v budget - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta-v_budget

    Delta-v in feet per second, and fuel requirements for a typical Apollo Lunar Landing mission. In astrodynamics and aerospace, a delta-v budget is an estimate of the total change in velocity (delta-v) required for a space mission. It is calculated as the sum of the delta-v required to perform each propulsive maneuver needed during

  4. Gibbs–Helmholtz equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibbs–Helmholtz_equation

    The definition of the Gibbs function is = + where H is the enthalpy defined by: = +. Taking differentials of each definition to find dH and dG, then using the fundamental thermodynamic relation (always true for reversible or irreversible processes): = where S is the entropy, V is volume, (minus sign due to reversibility, in which dU = 0: work other than pressure-volume may be done and is equal ...

  5. Table of thermodynamic equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_thermodynamic...

    v = velocity of atom/molecule, m = mass of each molecule (all molecules are identical in kinetic theory), γ(p) = Lorentz factor as function of momentum (see below) Ratio of thermal to rest mass-energy of each molecule: = /

  6. Orbital maneuver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_maneuver

    The applied change in velocity of each maneuver is referred to as delta-v (). The delta-v for all the expected maneuvers are estimated for a mission are summarized in a delta-v budget. With a good approximation of the delta-v budget designers can estimate the propellant required for planned maneuvers.

  7. Gibbs free energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibbs_free_energy

    N i is the number of particles (or number of moles) composing the ith chemical component. This is one form of the Gibbs fundamental equation. [10] In the infinitesimal expression, the term involving the chemical potential accounts for changes in Gibbs free energy resulting from an influx or outflux of particles.

  8. kT (energy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KT_(energy)

    kT (also written as k B T) is the product of the Boltzmann constant, k (or k B), and the temperature, T.This product is used in physics as a scale factor for energy values in molecular-scale systems (sometimes it is used as a unit of energy), as the rates and frequencies of many processes and phenomena depend not on their energy alone, but on the ratio of that energy and kT, that is, on ⁠ E ...

  9. Isothermal titration calorimetry - Wikipedia

    which can be further processed to calculate the enthalpy of metal-ligand interaction. [20] [21] Although this example is between a metal and a ligand, it is applicable to any ITC experiment, regarding binding interactions. As a part of the analysis, a number of protons are required to calculate the solvent-independent thermodynamics. [15]
