  2. Vacuum tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_tube

    Later thermionic vacuum tubes, mostly miniature style, some with top cap connections for higher voltages. A vacuum tube, electron tube, [1] [2] [3] valve (British usage), or tube (North America) [4] is a device that controls electric current flow in a high vacuum between electrodes to which an electric potential difference has been applied.

  3. Kundt's tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kundt's_tube

    Therefore, the length of the tube is a multiple of half a wavelength. At this point, the sound waves in the tube are in the form of standing waves, and the amplitude of vibrations of air is zero at equally spaced intervals along the tube, called the nodes. The powder is caught up in the moving air and settles in little piles or lines at these ...

  4. Traveling-wave tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traveling-wave_tube

    The TWT is an elongated vacuum tube with an electron gun (a heated cathode that emits electrons) at one end. A voltage applied across the cathode and anode accelerates the electrons towards the far end of the tube, and an external magnetic field around the tube focuses the electrons into a beam. At the other end of the tube the electrons strike ...

  5. Rubens tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubens_tube

    A Rubens tube setup. A Rubens tube, also known as a standing wave flame tube, or simply flame tube, is a physics apparatus for demonstrating acoustic standing waves in a tube. Invented by German physicist Heinrich Rubens in 1905, it graphically shows the relationship between sound waves and sound pressure, as a primitive oscilloscope. Today, it ...

  6. Flux tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flux_tube

    The flux tube's strength, , is defined to be the magnetic flux through a surface intersecting the tube, equal to the surface integral of the magnetic field () over = ^ Since the magnetic field is solenoidal, as defined in Maxwell's equations (specifically Gauss' law for magnetism): =.

  7. Tube (structure) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tube_(structure)

    The tube system concept is based on the idea that a building can be designed to resist lateral loads by designing it as a hollow cantilever perpendicular to the ground. In the simplest incarnation of the tube, the perimeter of the exterior consists of closely spaced columns that are tied together with deep spandrel beams through moment connections.

  8. Washburn's equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washburn's_equation

    is the angle of the tube with respect to the horizontal axis. ϕ {\displaystyle \phi } is the contact angle of the liquid on the capillary material. Substituting these expressions leads to the first-order differential equation for the distance the fluid penetrates into the tube l {\displaystyle l} :

  9. Pitot tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitot_tube

    A pitot-static system is a system of pressure-sensitive instruments that is most often used in aviation to determine an aircraft's airspeed, Mach number, altitude, and altitude trend. A pitot-static system generally consists of a pitot tube, a static port, and the pitot-static instruments. [5]
