  2. Pi - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi

    The number π (/ p aɪ / ⓘ; spelled out as "pi") is a mathematical constant, approximately equal to 3.14159, that is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter.It appears in many formulae across mathematics and physics, and some of these formulae are commonly used for defining π, to avoid relying on the definition of the length of a curve.

    The numbers in the parentheses indicate the flux densities as a percent of S 0 /4. The equilibrium solution with ε=0.82. The increase by Δε=0.04 corresponds to doubling carbon dioxide and the associated positive feedback on water vapor. The equilibrium solution with no greenhouse effect: ε=0

    The main advantages are: 1) large ratio of culture volume to surface area and optimized light penetration depth; 2) easy control over temperature and contaminants; 3) easy spatial distribution of fresh air and CO 2; 4) better CO 2 transfer through the culture; and 5) automated sensor providing cell concentration reads.

  5. Division (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_(mathematics)

    The simplest way of viewing division is in terms of quotition and partition: from the quotition perspective, 20 / 5 means the number of 5s that must be added to get 20. In terms of partition, 20 / 5 means the size of each of 5 parts into which a set of size 20 is divided.

  6. Distillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distillation

    At boiling point, all volatile components boil, but for a component, its percentage in the vapor is the same as its percentage of the total vapor pressure. Lighter components have a higher partial pressure and, thus, are concentrated in the vapor, but heavier volatile components also have a (smaller) partial pressure and necessarily vaporize ...

    The visible matter in the Universe, such as stars, adds up to less than 5 percent of the total mass that is known to exist from many other observations. The other 95 percent is dark, either dark matter, which is estimated at 20 percent of the Universe by weight, or dark energy, which makes up the balance. The exact nature of both still is unknown.

  8. Filament winding - Wikipedia

    Results in a shell of materials with a high strength-to-weight ratio due to the high percentage of glass in the composite matrix (70-80%) Patterns may be longitudinal, circumferential, helical or polar [7] Mostly requires thermal curing of workpieces; Filament winding processes can be either Continuous or Discontinuous type.
