  2. Equation of state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_of_state

    At present, there is no single equation of state that accurately predicts the properties of all substances under all conditions. An example of an equation of state correlates densities of gases and liquids to temperatures and pressures, known as the ideal gas law, which is roughly accurate for weakly polar gases at low pressures and moderate temperatures.

  3. Van der Waals equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_der_Waals_equation

    One way to write the van der Waals equation is: [8] [9] [10] = where is pressure, is temperature, and = / is molar volume. In addition is the Avogadro constant, is the volume, and is the number of molecules (the ratio / is a physical quantity with base unit mole (symbol mol) in the SI).

  4. Van 't Hoff equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_'t_Hoff_equation

    where ln denotes the natural logarithm, is the thermodynamic equilibrium constant, and R is the ideal gas constant.This equation is exact at any one temperature and all pressures, derived from the requirement that the Gibbs free energy of reaction be stationary in a state of chemical equilibrium.

  5. Mass–energy equivalence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass–energy_equivalence

    Mass near the M87* black hole is converted into a very energetic astrophysical jet, stretching five thousand light years. In physics, mass–energy equivalence is the relationship between mass and energy in a system's rest frame, where the two quantities differ only by a multiplicative constant and the units of measurement.

  6. Constitutive equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitutive_equation

    The first constitutive equation (constitutive law) was developed by Robert Hooke and is known as Hooke's law.It deals with the case of linear elastic materials.Following this discovery, this type of equation, often called a "stress-strain relation" in this example, but also called a "constitutive assumption" or an "equation of state" was commonly used.

  7. Boyle's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boyle's_law

    Graph of Boyle's original data [4] showing the hyperbolic curve of the relationship between pressure (P) and volume (V) of the form P = k/V. The relationship between pressure and volume was first noted by Richard Towneley and Henry Power in the 17th century. [5] [6] Robert Boyle confirmed their discovery through experiments and published the ...

  8. Density of states - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density_of_states

    The density of states related to volume V and N countable energy levels is defined as: = = (()). Because the smallest allowed change of momentum for a particle in a box of dimension and length is () = (/), the volume-related density of states for continuous energy levels is obtained in the limit as ():= (()), Here, is the spatial dimension of the considered system and the wave vector.

  9. Effective mass (solid-state physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_mass_(solid...

    In general, however, the value of effective mass depends on the purpose for which it is used, and can vary depending on a number of factors. For electrons or electron holes in a solid, the effective mass is usually stated as a factor multiplying the rest mass of an electron , m e (9.11 × 10 −31 kg).
