  2. Entrainment (hydrodynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entrainment_(hydrodynamics)

    In power generation, this phenomenon is used in steam jet air ejectors to maintain condenser vacuum by removing non-condensible gases from the condenser. In theorical aerodynamics applications the entrainment velocity , which expresses the rate of change of the entrainment, is often used to solve the von Kármán integral for turbulent boundary ...

  3. Coandă effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coandă_effect

    A common misconception is that the Coandă effect is demonstrated when a stream of tap water flows over the back of a spoon held lightly in the stream and the spoon is pulled into the stream (for example, Massey 1979, Fig 3.12 uses the Coandă effect to explain the deflection of water around a cylinder). While the flow looks very similar to the ...

  4. History of electromagnetic theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_electromagnetic...

    The history of electromagnetic theory begins with ancient measures to understand atmospheric electricity, in particular lightning. [1] People then had little understanding of electricity, and were unable to explain the phenomena. [ 2 ]

  5. Hydrogen cryomagnetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_cryomagnetics

    Hydrogen cryomagnetics is a term used to denote the use of cryogenic liquid hydrogen to cool the windings of an electromagnet. [1] A key benefit of hydrogen cryomagnetics is that low temperature liquid hydrogen can be deployed simultaneously both as a cryogen to cool electromagnet windings and as an energy carrier.

  6. Self-energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-energy

    In chemistry, the self-energy or Born energy of an ion is the energy associated with the field of the ion itself. [citation needed]In solid state and condensed-matter physics self-energies and a myriad of related quasiparticle properties are calculated by Green's function methods and Green's function (many-body theory) of interacting low-energy excitations on the basis of electronic band ...

  7. He charged the jar by touching a wire leading from the electrical machine with one hand while holding the outside of the jar with the other. The energy could be discharged by completing an external circuit between the brass rod and another conductor, originally his hand, placed in contact with the outside of the jar.

  8. Magnetic hysteresis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_hysteresis

    Magnetic hysteresis can be characterized in various ways. In general, the magnetic material is placed in a varying applied H field, as induced by an electromagnet, and the resulting magnetic flux density ( B field) is measured, generally by the inductive electromotive force introduced on a pickup coil nearby the sample.
