  2. Viscosity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscosity

    v. t. e. The viscosity of a fluid is a measure of its resistance to deformation at a given rate. [1] For liquids, it corresponds to the informal concept of "thickness": for example, syrup has a higher viscosity than water. [2] Viscosity is defined scientifically as a force multiplied by a time divided by an area.

  3. Hydraulic conductivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_conductivity

    Hydraulic conductivity. In science and engineering, hydraulic conductivity (K, in SI units of meters per second), is a property of porous materials, soils and rocks, that describes the ease with which a fluid (usually water) can move through the pore space, or fracture network. [1]

  4. Vickers hardness test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vickers_hardness_test

    The Vickers test can be used for all metals and has one of the widest scales among hardness tests. The unit of hardness given by the test is known as the Vickers Pyramid Number (HV) or Diamond Pyramid Hardness (DPH). The hardness number can be converted into units of pascals, but should not be confused with pressure, which uses the same units.

  5. Queueing theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queueing_theory

    Queueing theory is one of the major areas of study in the discipline of management science. Through management science, businesses are able to solve a variety of problems using different scientific and mathematical approaches. Queueing analysis is the probabilistic analysis of waiting lines, and thus the results, also referred to as the ...

  6. Computation of cyclic redundancy checks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computation_of_cyclic...

    Computation of a cyclic redundancy check is derived from the mathematics of polynomial division, modulo two. In practice, it resembles long division of the binary message string, with a fixed number of zeroes appended, by the "generator polynomial" string except that exclusive or operations replace subtractions.

  7. Second moment of area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_moment_of_area

    An arbitrary shape. ρ is the distance to the element dA, with projections x and y on the x and y axes.. The second moment of area for an arbitrary shape R with respect to an arbitrary axis ′ (′ axis is not drawn in the adjacent image; is an axis coplanar with x and y axes and is perpendicular to the line segment) is defined as ′ = where

    MM2 may refer to: MM2, a class of force fields; see force field (chemistry) MM2 (MMS), an interface utilized by the Multimedia Messaging Service standard. Mega Man 2, a 1988 video game for the NES. Mega Man II (Game Boy), a 1991 video game for the Game Boy. Midtown Madness 2, a 2000 video game for the PC. Motocross Madness 2, a 2000 video game ...

  9. Cyclic redundancy check - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_redundancy_check

    A cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is an error-detecting code commonly used in digital networks and storage devices to detect accidental changes to digital data. [1][2] Blocks of data entering these systems get a short check value attached, based on the remainder of a polynomial division of their contents. On retrieval, the calculation is repeated ...
