    Fugacity and BCF relate to each other in the following equation: = [6] where Z Fish is equal to the Fugacity capacity of a chemical in the fish, P Fish is equal to the density of the fish (mass/length 3), BCF is the partition coefficient between the fish and the water (length 3 /mass) and H is equal to the Henry's law constant (Length 2 /Time 2) [6]

  3. Bromochlorodifluoromethane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bromochlorodifluoromethane

    Bromochlorodifluoromethane (BCF), also referred to by the code numbers Halon 1211 and Freon 12B1, is a haloalkane with the chemical formula C F 2 Cl Br. It is used for fire suppression, especially for expensive equipment or items that could be damaged by the residue from other types of extinguishers. [ 1 ]

  4. Tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane

    Tris (pentafluorophenyl)borane, sometimes referred to as "BCF", is the chemical compound (C6F5)3B. It is a white, volatile solid. The molecule consists of three pentafluorophenyl groups attached in a "paddle-wheel" manner to a central boron atom; the BC3 core is planar. It has been described as the “ideal Lewis acid ” because of its high ...

  5. Free neutron decay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_neutron_decay

    Outside the nucleus, free neutrons are unstable and have a mean lifetime of 877.75 +0.50 −0.44 s [ 1 ] or 879.6 ± 0.8 s [ 2 ] (about 14 min and 37.75 s or 39.6 s , respectively). Therefore, the half-life for this process (which differs from the mean lifetime by a factor of ln (2) ≈ 0.693 ) is 611 ± 1 s (about 10 min , 11 s ).

  6. Spontaneous emission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spontaneous_emission

    t. e. Spontaneous emission is the process in which a quantum mechanical system (such as a molecule, an atom or a subatomic particle) transits from an excited energy state to a lower energy state (e.g., its ground state) and emits a quantized amount of energy in the form of a photon. Spontaneous emission is ultimately responsible for most of the ...

  7. Kinetic chain length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_chain_length

    In polymer chemistry, the kinetic chain length (ν) of a polymer is the average number of units called monomers added to a growing chain during chain-growth polymerization. During this process, a polymer chain is formed when monomers are bonded together to form long chains known as polymers. Kinetic chain length is defined as the average number ...

  8. Volume correction factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_Correction_Factor

    In thermodynamics, the Volume Correction Factor (VCF), also known as Correction for the effect of Temperature on Liquid (CTL), is a standardized computed factor used to correct for the thermal expansion of fluids, primarily, liquid hydrocarbons at various temperatures and densities. [1] It is typically a number between 0 and 2, rounded to five ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-cycle_fatigue

    2N is the number of reversals to failure (N cycles); ε f ' is an empirical constant known as the fatigue ductility coefficient defined by the strain intercept at 2N =1; c is an empirical constant known as the fatigue ductility exponent , commonly ranging from -0.5 to -0.7.
