  2. Granular material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granular_material

    where , the friction angle, is the angle between the contact force and the contact normal direction. θ μ {\displaystyle \theta _{\mu }} , which describes the angle that if the tangential force falls within the friction cone the particles would still remain steady.

  3. Friction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction

    Fluid friction describes the friction between layers of a viscous fluid that are moving relative to each other. [7] [8] Lubricated friction is a case of fluid friction where a lubricant fluid separates two solid surfaces. [9] [10] [11] Skin friction is a component of drag, the force resisting the motion of a fluid across the surface of a body.

  4. Molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_geometry

    A bond angle is the geometric angle between two adjacent bonds. Some common shapes of simple molecules include: Linear: In a linear model, atoms are connected in a straight line. The bond angles are set at 180°. For example, carbon dioxide and nitric oxide have a linear molecular shape.

  5. Angle of repose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_of_repose

    The internal angle between the surface of the pile and the horizontal surface is known as the angle of repose and is related to the density, surface area and shapes of the particles, and the coefficient of friction of the material. Material with a low angle of repose forms flatter piles than material with a high angle of repose.

  6. Bent molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bent_molecular_geometry

    Water (H 2 O) is an example of a bent molecule, as well as its analogues. The bond angle between the two hydrogen atoms is approximately 104.45°. [ 1 ] Nonlinear geometry is commonly observed for other triatomic molecules and ions containing only main group elements, prominent examples being nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ), sulfur dichloride (SCl 2 ...

  7. Stokes' law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stokes'_law

    The z –axis is through the centre of the sphere and aligned with the mean flow direction, while r is the radius as measured perpendicular to the z –axis. The origin is at the sphere centre. Because the flow is axisymmetric around the z –axis, it is independent of the azimuth φ.

  8. Contact angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_angle

    The sessile drop contact angle is measured by a contact angle goniometer using an optical subsystem to capture the profile of a pure liquid on a solid substrate. The angle formed between the liquid–solid interface and the liquid–vapor interface is the contact angle. Older systems used a microscope optical system with a back light.

  9. Eclipsed conformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eclipsed_conformation

    In chemistry an eclipsed conformation is a conformation in which two substituents X and Y on adjacent atoms A, B are in closest proximity, implying that the torsion angle X–A–B–Y is 0°. [1] Such a conformation can exist in any open chain, single chemical bond connecting two sp 3-hybridised atoms, and it is normally a conformational ...
