  2. Inversion temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inversion_temperature

    The inversion temperature in thermodynamics and cryogenics is the critical temperature below which a non-ideal gas (all gases in reality) that is expanding at constant enthalpy will experience a temperature decrease, and above which will experience a temperature increase.

  3. 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 ...

  4. Inversion (meteorology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inversion_(meteorology)

    In meteorology, an inversion (or temperature inversion) is a phenomenon in which a layer of warmer air overlies cooler air. Normally, air temperature gradually decreases as altitude increases, but this relationship is reversed in an inversion. [2] An inversion traps air pollution, such as smog, near the ground.

  5. Potential of mean force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potential_of_mean_force

    The PMF can be obtained in Monte Carlo or molecular dynamics simulations to examine how a system's energy changes as a function of some specific reaction coordinate parameter. For example, it may examine how the system's energy changes as a function of the distance between two residues, or as a protein is pulled through a lipid bilayer.

  6. Carbon monofluoride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_monofluoride

    Carbon monofluoride is used as a high-energy-density cathode material in lithium batteries of the "BR" type.Other uses are a wear reduction additive for lubricants, and weather-resistant additive for paints.

  7. Promethium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Promethium

    PmF 3 + 3 Li → Pm + 3 LiF. The promethium sample produced was used to measure a few of the metal's properties, such as its melting point. [16] In 1963, ion-exchange methods were used at ORNL to prepare about ten grams of promethium from nuclear reactor fuel processing wastes. [21] [53] [54]

  8. Heisler chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heisler_Chart

    These first Heisler–Gröber charts were based upon the first term of the exact Fourier series solution for an infinite plane wall: (,) = = [⁡ + ⁡ ⁡], [1]where T i is the initial uniform temperature of the slab, T ∞ is the constant environmental temperature imposed at the boundary, x is the location in the plane wall, λ is the root of λ * tan λ = Bi, and α is thermal diffusivity.

  9. Convective available potential energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convective_available...

    The red line is temperature, the green line is the dew point, and the black line is the air parcel lifted. In meteorology , convective available potential energy (commonly abbreviated as CAPE ), [ 1 ] is a measure of the capacity of the atmosphere to support upward air movement that can lead to cloud formation and storms.
