  2. Washburn's equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washburn's_equation

    The equation is named after Edward Wight Washburn; [1] also known as Lucas–Washburn equation, considering that Richard Lucas [2] wrote a similar paper three years earlier, or the Bell-Cameron-Lucas-Washburn equation, considering J.M. Bell and F.K. Cameron's discovery of the form of the equation in 1906. [3]

  3. Lucas number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucas_number

    Individual numbers in the Lucas sequence are known as Lucas numbers. Lucas numbers and Fibonacci numbers form complementary instances of Lucas sequences . The Lucas sequence has the same recursive relationship as the Fibonacci sequence, where each term is the sum of the two previous terms, but with different starting values. [ 1 ]

  4. Bosanquet equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bosanquet_equation

    For the condition of short time this shows a meniscus front position proportional to time rather than the Lucas-Washburn square root of time, and the independence of viscosity demonstrates plug flow. As time increases after the initial time of acceleration, the equation decays to the familiar Lucas-Washburn form dependent on viscosity and the ...

  6. Pell number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pell_number

    In words: the first two numbers in the sequence are both 2, and each successive number is formed by adding twice the previous Pell–Lucas number to the Pell–Lucas number before that, or equivalently, by adding the next Pell number to the previous Pell number: thus, 82 is the companion to 29, and 82 = 2 × 34 + 14 = 70 + 12.

  7. Contact angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_angle

    Cloth, treated to be hydrophobic, shows a high contact angle. The theoretical description of contact angle arises from the consideration of a thermodynamic equilibrium between the three phases: the liquid phase (L), the solid phase (S), and the gas or vapor phase (G) (which could be a mixture of ambient atmosphere and an equilibrium concentration of the liquid vapor).

  8. Jacobsthal number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobsthal_number

    In mathematics, the Jacobsthal numbers are an integer sequence named after the German mathematician Ernst Jacobsthal.Like the related Fibonacci numbers, they are a specific type of Lucas sequence (,) for which P = 1, and Q = −2 [1] —and are defined by a similar recurrence relation: in simple terms, the sequence starts with 0 and 1, then each following number is found by adding the number ...

  9. Little Professor - Wikipedia

    The user has three chances to enter the correct number. If the answer is incorrect, the display shows "EEE". After the third wrong answer, the correct answer is shown. If the answer supplied is correct, the Little Professor goes to the next equation. [2] The Little Professor shows the number of correct first answers after each set of 10 ...
