  2. Rate-determining step - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate-determining_step

    For the NO 2 –CO reaction above, the rate depends on [NO 2] 2, so that the activated complex has composition N 2 O 4, with 2 NO 2 entering the reaction before the transition state, and CO reacting after the transition state. A multistep example is the reaction between oxalic acid and chlorine in aqueous solution: H 2 C 2 O 4 + Cl 22 CO 2 ...

  3. Taylor dispersion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_dispersion

    Taylor dispersion or Taylor diffusion is an apparent or effective diffusion of some scalar field arising on the large scale due to the presence of a strong, confined, zero-mean shear flow on the small scale. Essentially, the shear acts to smear out the concentration distribution in the direction of the flow, enhancing the rate at which it ...

  4. Rate equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_equation

    In chemistry, the rate equation (also known as the rate law or empirical differential rate equation) is an empirical differential mathematical expression for the reaction rate of a given reaction in terms of concentrations of chemical species and constant parameters (normally rate coefficients and partial orders of reaction) only. [1]

  5. Itô's lemma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itô's_lemma

    In mathematics, Itô's lemma or Itô's formula is an identity used in Itô calculus to find the differential of a time-dependent function of a stochastic process.It serves as the stochastic calculus counterpart of the chain rule.

  6. Taylor series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_series

    That is, the Taylor series diverges at x if the distance between x and b is larger than the radius of convergence. The Taylor series can be used to calculate the value of an entire function at every point, if the value of the function, and of all of its derivatives, are known at a single point. Uses of the Taylor series for analytic functions ...

  7. Automatic differentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_differentiation

    The above arithmetic can be generalized to calculate second order and higher derivatives of multivariate functions. However, the arithmetic rules quickly grow complicated: complexity is quadratic in the highest derivative degree. Instead, truncated Taylor polynomial algebra can be used. The resulting arithmetic, defined on generalized dual ...

  8. Taylor diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_diagram

    One of the main limitation of the Taylor diagram is the absence of explicit information about model biases. One approach suggested by Taylor (2001) was to add lines, whose length is equal to the bias to each data point. An alternative approach, originally described by Elvidge et al., 2014, [17] is to show the bias of the models via a color ...

  9. Related rates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Related_rates

    In differential calculus, related rates problems involve finding a rate at which a quantity changes by relating that quantity to other quantities whose rates of change are known. The rate of change is usually with respect to time. Because science and engineering often relate quantities to each other, the methods of related rates have broad ...
