  2. Moore's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore's_law

    Brian Krzanich, the former CEO of Intel, cited Moore's 1975 revision as a precedent for the current deceleration, which results from technical challenges and is "a natural part of the history of Moore's law". [31] [32] [33] The rate of improvement in physical dimensions known as Dennard scaling also ended in the mid-2000s. As a result, much of ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. Turbulence kinetic energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbulence_kinetic_energy

    This assumption makes modelling of turbulence quantities (k and ε) simpler, but will not be accurate in scenarios where anisotropic behaviour of turbulence stresses dominates, and the implications of this in the production of turbulence also leads to over-prediction since the production depends on the mean rate of strain, and not the ...

  5. Law of mass action - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_mass_action

    The rate of predation upon the prey is assumed to be proportional to the rate at which the predators and the prey meet; this rate is evaluated as xy, where x is the number of prey, y is the number of predator. This is a typical example of the law of mass action.

  6. Fluctuation theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluctuation_theorem

    Roughly, the fluctuation theorem relates to the probability distribution of the time-averaged irreversible entropy production, denoted ¯.The theorem states that, in systems away from equilibrium over a finite time t, the ratio between the probability that ¯ takes on a value A and the probability that it takes the opposite value, −A, will be exponential in At.

  7. Exergy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exergy

    This rate equation for the exergy within an open system X (Ξ or B) takes into account the exergy transfer rates across the system boundary by heat transfer (q for conduction & convection, and M by radiative fluxes), by mechanical or electrical work transfer (W), and by mass transfer (m), as well as taking into account the exergy destruction (I ...

  8. Chemical kinetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_kinetics

    The rate equation shows the detailed dependence of the reaction rate on the concentrations of reactants and other species present. The mathematical forms depend on the reaction mechanism. The actual rate equation for a given reaction is determined experimentally and provides information about the reaction mechanism.

  9. Entropy in thermodynamics and information theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_in_thermodynamics...

    Despite the foregoing, there is a difference between the two quantities. The information entropy Η can be calculated for any probability distribution (if the "message" is taken to be that the event i which had probability p i occurred, out of the space of the events possible), while the thermodynamic entropy S refers to thermodynamic probabilities p i specifically.
