Equivalent potential temperature, commonly referred to as theta-e (), is a quantity that is conserved during changes to an air parcel's pressure (that is, during vertical motions in the atmosphere), even if water vapor condenses during that pressure change.
Given that the head loss h f expresses the pressure loss Δp as the height of a column of fluid, Δ p = ρ ⋅ g ⋅ h f {\displaystyle \Delta p=\rho \cdot g\cdot h_{f}} where ρ is the density of the fluid.
The delta potential is the potential = (), where δ(x) is the Dirac delta function. It is called a delta potential well if λ is negative, and a delta potential barrier if λ is positive. The delta has been defined to occur at the origin for simplicity; a shift in the delta function's argument does not change any of the following results.
It is a two-equation model which gives a general description of turbulence by means of two transport equations (PDEs). The original impetus for the K-epsilon model was to improve the mixing-length model, as well as to find an alternative to algebraically prescribing turbulent length scales in moderate to high complexity flows. k–ω (k–omega)
Starting from the differential equations that describe heat transfer, several "simple" correlations between effectiveness and NTU can be made. [2] For brevity, below summarizes the Effectiveness-NTU correlations for some of the most common flow configurations: For example, the effectiveness of a parallel flow heat exchanger is calculated with:
Namely, the epsilon-delta definition of uniform continuity requires four quantifiers, while the infinitesimal definition requires only two quantifiers. It has the same quantifier complexity as the definition of uniform continuity in terms of sequences in standard calculus, which however is not expressible in the first-order language of the real ...
Aitken's delta-squared process is an acceleration of convergence method and a particular case of a nonlinear sequence transformation. A sequence X = ( x n ) {\textstyle X=(x_{n})} that converges to a limiting value ℓ {\textstyle \ell } is said to converge linearly , or more technically Q-linearly, if there is some number μ ∈ ( 0 , 1 ...
Although implicit in the development of calculus of the 17th and 18th centuries, the modern idea of the limit of a function goes back to Bolzano who, in 1817, introduced the basics of the epsilon-delta technique (see (ε, δ)-definition of limit below) to define continuous functions. However, his work was not known during his lifetime.
