  2. Maxwell construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell_construction

    Every introductory thermodynamics text [15] [16] presents the fact that on such a plane the area under any curve is the heat transfer to the substance per mole, positive going from left to right and negative from right to left; moreover, in a cyclic process the net heat transfer to the substance is the area enclosed by the cycle's closed curve.

  3. Protecting group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protecting_group

    Cyclic acetals are very much more stable against acid hydrolysis than acyclic acetals. Consequently acyclic acetals are used practically only when a very mild cleavage is required or when two different protected carbonyl groups must be differentiated in their liberation.

  4. Portevin–Le Chatelier effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portevin–Le_Chatelier_effect

    The cyclic changes described above produce serrations in the plastic region of the stress strain diagram of a tensile test that is undergoing the Portevin-Le Chatelier effect. The variation in stress also causes non-homogeneous deformation to occur throughout the sample which can be visible to the naked eye through observation of a rough finish ...

  5. Fanno flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanno_flow

    Next, the flow follows the Fanno line until a shock changes the flow from supersonic to subsonic. The flow then follows the Fanno line again, almost reaching a choked condition before exiting the duct. Figure 5 Fanno and Rayleigh Line Intersection Chart. The Fanno flow model is often used in the design and analysis of nozzles.

  6. Rayleigh flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh_flow

    These properties make the Rayleigh flow model applicable for heat addition to the flow through combustion, assuming the heat addition does not result in dissociation of the air-fuel mixture. Producing a shock wave inside the combustion chamber of an engine due to thermal choking is very undesirable due to the decrease in mass flow rate and thrust.

  7. Büchner–Curtius–Schlotterbeck reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Büchner–Curtius...

    [4] [5] The reaction has since been extended to the synthesis of β-keto esters from the condensation between aldehydes and diazo esters. [6] The general reaction scheme is as follows: General Scheme for Buchner Reaction. The reaction yields two possible carbonyl compounds (I and II) along with an epoxide (III). The ratio of the products is ...

  8. Silyl enol ether - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silyl_enol_ether

    The general structure of a silyl enol ether. In organosilicon chemistry, silyl enol ethers are a class of organic compounds that share the common functional group R 3 Si−O−CR=CR 2, composed of an enolate (R 3 C−O−R) bonded to a silane (SiR 4) through its oxygen end and an ethene group (R 2 C=CR 2) as its carbon end.

  9. Paschen's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paschen's_law

    Paschen's law is an equation that gives the breakdown voltage, that is, the voltage necessary to start a discharge or electric arc, between two electrodes in a gas as a function of pressure and gap length. [2] [3] It is named after Friedrich Paschen who discovered it empirically in 1889. [4]
