  2. Balmer series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balmer_series

    The Balmer series is calculated using the Balmer formula, an empirical equation discovered by Johann Balmer in 1885. The visible spectrum of light from hydrogen displays four wavelengths , 410 nm , 434 nm, 486 nm, and 656 nm, that correspond to emissions of photons by electrons in excited states transitioning to the quantum level described by ...

  3. Differential scanning calorimetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_scanning...

    Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is a thermoanalytical technique in which the difference in the amount of heat required to increase the temperature of a sample and reference is measured as a function of temperature. [1] Both the sample and reference are maintained at nearly the same temperature throughout the experiment.

  4. Normalized difference vegetation index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normalized_difference...

    NDVI is functionally and linearly equivalent to the ratio NIR / (NIR+VIS), which ranges from 0 to 1 and is thus never negative nor limitless in range. [6] But the most important concept in the understanding of the NDVI algebraic formula is that, despite its name, it is a transformation of a spectral ratio (NIR/VIS), and it has no functional ...

  5. Thermal boundary layer thickness and shape - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_boundary_layer...

    The temperature at the solid wall is and gradually changes to as one moves toward the free stream of the fluid. It is impossible to define a sharp point at which the thermal boundary layer fluid or the velocity boundary layer fluid becomes the free stream, yet these layers have a well-defined characteristic thickness given by δ T ...

  6. Nusselt number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nusselt_number

    The Nusselt number is the ratio of total heat transfer (convection + conduction) to conductive heat transfer across a boundary. The convection and conduction heat flows are parallel to each other and to the surface normal of the boundary surface, and are all perpendicular to the mean fluid flow in the simple case.

  7. Antoine equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antoine_equation

    Lee [4] developed a modified form of the Antoine equation that allows for calculating vapor pressure across the entire temperature range using the acentric factor (𝜔) of a substance. The fundamental structure of the equation is based on the van der Waals equation and builds upon the findings of Wall [ 5 ] and Gutmann et al. [ 6 ] , who ...

  8. Hydrogen spectral series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_spectral_series

    The four visible hydrogen emission spectrum lines in the Balmer series. H-alpha is the red line at the right. The Balmer series includes the lines due to transitions from an outer orbit n > 2 to the orbit n' = 2. Named after Johann Balmer, who discovered the Balmer formula, an empirical equation to predict

  9. Plasma parameters - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_parameters

    The SI unit of temperature is the kelvin (K), but using the above relation the electron temperature is often expressed in terms of the energy unit electronvolt (eV). Each kelvin (1 K) corresponds to 8.617 333 262 ... × 10 −5 eV ; this factor is the ratio of the Boltzmann constant to the elementary charge . [ 6 ]
