  2. Rankine scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rankine_scale

    The Rankine scale is used in engineering systems where heat computations are done using degrees Fahrenheit. [3] The symbol for degrees Rankine is °R [2] (or °Ra if necessary to distinguish it from the Rømer and Réaumur scales). By analogy with the SI unit kelvin, some authors term the unit Rankine, omitting the degree symbol. [4] [5]

  3. Fresnel equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresnel_equations

    This becomes more obvious when the field is factored as E k e ik⋅r e −iωt, where the last factor contains the time-dependence. That factor also implies that differentiation w.r.t. time corresponds to multiplication by −iω. [Note 2] If â„“ is the component of r in the direction of k, the field can be written E k e i(kâ„“−ωt).

  4. Refractive index and extinction coefficient of thin film ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractive_index_and...

    A. R. Forouhi and I. Bloomer deduced dispersion equations for the refractive index, n, and extinction coefficient, k, which were published in 1986 [1] and 1988. [2] The 1986 publication relates to amorphous materials, while the 1988 publication relates to crystalline.

  5. Temperature coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature_coefficient

    Here α has the dimension of an inverse temperature and can be expressed e.g. in 1/K or K −1. If the temperature coefficient itself does not vary too much with temperature and α Δ T ≪ 1 {\displaystyle \alpha \Delta T\ll 1} , a linear approximation will be useful in estimating the value R of a property at a temperature T , given its value ...

  6. Conversion of scales of temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_of_scales_of...

    This is a collection of temperature conversion formulas and comparisons among eight different temperature scales, several of which have long been obsolete.. Temperatures on scales that either do not share a numeric zero or are nonlinearly related cannot correctly be mathematically equated (related using the symbol =), and thus temperatures on different scales are more correctly described as ...

  7. Arrhenius equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrhenius_equation

    This has the same form as an equation for a straight line: = +, where x is the reciprocal of T. So, when a reaction has a rate constant obeying the Arrhenius equation, a plot of ln k versus T −1 gives a straight line, whose slope and intercept can be used to determine E a and A respectively. This procedure is common in experimental chemical ...

  8. Q10 (temperature coefficient) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q10_(temperature_coefficient)

    A plot illustrating the dependence on temperature of the rates of chemical reactions and various biological processes, for several different Q 10 temperature coefficients. . The rate ratio at a temperature increase of 10 degrees (marked by points) is equal to the Q 10 coefficie

  9. Antenna gain-to-noise-temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna_gain-to-noise...

    where k is the Boltzmann constant (1.380 648 52 (79) × 10 −23 J/K). The receiver also has a temperature associated with it, T E, and the total system temperature T (antenna plus receiver) has a combined temperature given by T = T A + T E. This temperature can be used in the above equation to find the total noise power of the system.
