  2. Bragg's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bragg's_law

    This equation, Bragg's law, describes the condition on θ for constructive interference. [12] A map of the intensities of the scattered waves as a function of their angle is called a diffraction pattern. Strong intensities known as Bragg peaks are obtained in the diffraction pattern when the scattering angles satisfy Bragg condition.

  3. Hicks equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hicks_equation

    In fluid dynamics, Hicks equation, sometimes also referred as Bragg–Hawthorne equation or Squire–Long equation, is a partial differential equation that describes the distribution of stream function for axisymmetric inviscid fluid, named after William Mitchinson Hicks, who derived it first in 1898.

  4. Wet oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet_oxidation

    Wet oxidation is a form of hydrothermal treatment. It is the oxidation of dissolved or suspended components in water using oxygen as the oxidizer.It is referred to as "Wet Air Oxidation" (WAO) when air is used.

  5. Bragg–Gray cavity theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bragg–Gray_cavity_theory

    Most often, material is assumed to be a gas, however Bragg–Gray cavity theory applies to any cavity volume (gas, liquid, or solid) that meets the following Bragg-Gray conditions. The dimensions of the cavity containing g {\displaystyle g} is small with respect to the range of charged particles striking the cavity so that the cavity does not ...

  6. Activated sludge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activated_sludge

    Activated sludge tank at Beckton sewage treatment plant, UK.The white bubbles are due to the diffused air aeration system. The activated sludge process is a type of biological wastewater treatment process for treating sewage or industrial wastewaters using aeration and a biological floc composed of bacteria and protozoa.

  7. Metabolic waste - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metabolic_waste

    These compounds form during the catabolism of carbohydrates and lipids in condensation reactions, and in some other metabolic reactions of the amino acids. Oxygen is produced by plants and some bacteria in photosynthesis, while CO 2 is a waste product of all animals and plants. Nitrogen gases are produced by denitrifying bacteria and as a waste ...

  8. Solid solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_solution

    The propensity for any two substances to form a solid solution is a complicated matter involving the chemical, crystallographic, and quantum properties of the substances in question. Substitutional solid solutions, in accordance with the Hume-Rothery rules, may form if the solute and solvent have: Similar atomic radii (15% or less difference)

  9. Mass balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_balance

    In the first example, we will show how to use a mass balance to derive a relationship between the percent excess air for the combustion of a hydrocarbon-base fuel oil and the percent oxygen in the combustion product gas. First, normal dry air contains 0.2095 mol of oxygen per mole of air, so there is one mole of O 2 in 4.773 mol of dry air.
