  2. Stagnation temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stagnation_temperature

    q = Heat per unit mass added into the system. Strictly speaking, enthalpy is a function of both temperature and density. However, invoking the common assumption of a calorically perfect gas, enthalpy can be converted directly into temperature as given above, which enables one to define a stagnation temperature in terms of the more fundamental property, stagnation enthalpy.

  3. Heat equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_equation

    The temperature is initially distributed over a one-dimensional, one-unit-long interval (x = [0,1]) with insulated endpoints. The distribution approaches equilibrium over time. The behavior of temperature when the sides of a 1D rod are at fixed temperatures (in this case, 0.8 and 0 with initial Gaussian distribution).

  4. Thermodynamic temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_temperature

    Thermodynamic temperature is a quantity defined in thermodynamics as distinct from kinetic theory or statistical mechanics.. Historically, thermodynamic temperature was defined by Lord Kelvin in terms of a macroscopic relation between thermodynamic work and heat transfer as defined in thermodynamics, but the kelvin was redefined by international agreement in 2019 in terms of phenomena that are ...

  5. Bernoulli's principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli's_principle

    The change in pressure over distance dx is dp and flow velocity v = ⁠ dx / dt ⁠. Apply Newton's second law of motion (force = mass × acceleration) and recognizing that the effective force on the parcel of fluid is −A dp. If the pressure decreases along the length of the pipe, dp is negative but the force resulting in flow is positive ...

  6. Hubble's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubble's_law

    D is the proper distance (which can change over time, unlike the comoving distance, which is constant) from the galaxy to the observer, measured in mega parsecs (Mpc), in the 3-space defined by given cosmological time. (Recession velocity is just v = dD/dt). Hubble's law is considered a fundamental relation between recessional velocity and ...

  7. Newton's law of cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_law_of_cooling

    When stated in terms of temperature differences, Newton's law (with several further simplifying assumptions, such as a low Biot number and a temperature-independent heat capacity) results in a simple differential equation expressing temperature-difference as a function of time. The solution to that equation describes an exponential decrease of ...

  8. Thermal velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_velocity

    Thus, indirectly, thermal velocity is a measure of temperature. Technically speaking, it is a measure of the width of the peak in the Maxwell–Boltzmann particle velocity distribution. Note that in the strictest sense thermal velocity is not a velocity, since velocity usually describes a vector rather than simply a scalar speed.

  9. Thermal conduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_conduction

    This equation shows that the temperature decreases exponentially over time, with the rate governed by the properties of the material and the heat transfer coefficient. [7] The heat transfer coefficient, h, is measured in , and represents the transfer of heat at an interface between two materials. This value is different at every interface and ...
