  2. Fick's laws of diffusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fick's_laws_of_diffusion

    Fick's first law relates the diffusive flux to the gradient of the concentration. It postulates that the flux goes from regions of high concentration to regions of low concentration, with a magnitude that is proportional to the concentration gradient (spatial derivative), or in simplistic terms the concept that a solute will move from a region of high concentration to a region of low ...

  3. Passive transport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_transport

    Passive diffusion across a cell membrane.. Passive transport is a type of membrane transport that does not require energy to move substances across cell membranes. [1] [2] Instead of using cellular energy, like active transport, [3] passive transport relies on the second law of thermodynamics to drive the movement of substances across cell membranes.

  4. Burgers' equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burgers'_equation

    The implicit solution described above containing an arbitrary function is called the general integral. However, the inviscid Burgers' equation, being a first-order partial differential equation, also has a complete integral which contains two arbitrary constants (for the two independent variables).

  6. Transfer function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_function

    The transfer function of a two-port electronic circuit, such as an amplifier, might be a two-dimensional graph of the scalar voltage at the output as a function of the scalar voltage applied to the input; the transfer function of an electromechanical actuator might be the mechanical displacement of the movable arm as a function of electric ...

  7. Bilinear transform - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilinear_transform

    The bilinear transform is a first-order Padé approximant of the natural logarithm function that is an exact mapping of the z-plane to the s-plane.When the Laplace transform is performed on a discrete-time signal (with each element of the discrete-time sequence attached to a correspondingly delayed unit impulse), the result is precisely the Z transform of the discrete-time sequence with the ...

  8. Proportional control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportional_control

    For a first-order process, a general transfer function is = +.Combining this with the closed-loop transfer function above returns = + + +.Simplifying this equation results in = + where = + and = +.

  9. Lotka–Volterra equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotka–Volterra_equations

    This modelling problem has been called the "atto-fox problem", an atto-fox being a notional 10 −18 of a fox. [ 31 ] [ 32 ] A density of 10 −18 foxes per square kilometre equates to an average of approximately 5×10 −10 foxes on the surface of the earth, which in practical terms means that foxes are extinct.
