  2. Rüchardt experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rüchardt_Experiment

    The Rüchardt experiment, [1] [2] [3] invented by Eduard Rüchardt, is a famous experiment in thermodynamics, which determines the ratio of the molar heat capacities of a gas, i.e. the ratio of (heat capacity at constant pressure) and (heat capacity at constant volume) and is denoted by (gamma, for ideal gas) or (kappa, isentropic exponent, for real gas).

  3. Heat capacity ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_capacity_ratio

    To understand this relation, consider the following thought experiment. A closed pneumatic cylinder contains air. The piston is locked. The pressure inside is equal to atmospheric pressure. This cylinder is heated to a certain target temperature. Since the piston cannot move, the volume is constant. The temperature and pressure will rise.

  4. Non-random two-liquid model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-random_two-liquid_model

    VLE of the mixture of chloroform and methanol plus NRTL fit and extrapolation to different pressures. The non-random two-liquid model [1] (abbreviated NRTL model) is an activity coefficient model introduced by Renon and Prausnitz in 1968 that correlates the activity coefficients of a compound with its mole fractions in the liquid phase concerned.

  5. Gamma spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma_spectroscopy

    Gamma-ray spectroscopy is the qualitative study of the energy spectra of gamma-ray sources, such as in the nuclear industry, geochemical investigation, and astrophysics. Gamma-ray spectrometry, on the other hand, is the method used to acquire a quantitative spectrum measurement. [1]

  6. Scanning tunneling spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanning_tunneling...

    Mechanism of how density of states influence V-A spectra of tunnel junction. Scanning tunneling spectroscopy is an experimental technique which uses a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) to probe the local density of electronic states (LDOS) and the band gap of surfaces and materials on surfaces at the atomic scale. [1]

  7. Gamma-ray spectrometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma-ray_spectrometer

    A gamma-ray spectrometer (GRS) is an instrument for measuring the distribution (or spectrum—see figure) of the intensity of gamma radiation versus the energy of each photon. The study and analysis of gamma-ray spectra for scientific and technical use is called gamma spectroscopy , and gamma-ray spectrometers are the instruments which observe ...

  8. Paschen's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paschen's_law

    As the gap was reduced further, the voltage required to cause an arc began to rise and again exceeded its original value. For a given gas, the voltage is a function only of the product of the pressure and gap length. [2] [3] The curve he found of voltage versus the pressure-gap length product (right) is called Paschen's curve. He found an ...

  9. Sessile drop technique - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sessile_drop_technique

    The surface energy is measured in units of joules per square meter, which is equivalent in the case of liquids to surface tension, measured in newtons per meter.The overall surface tension/energy of a liquid can be acquired through various methods using a tensiometer or using the pendant drop method and maximum bubble pressure method.
