  2. Psychrometrics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychrometrics

    Hygrometer. Dry / Wet-bulb temperature. v. t. e. Psychrometrics (or psychrometry, from Greek ψυχρόν (psuchron) 'cold', and μέτρον (metron) 'means of measurement'; [1] [2] also called hygrometry) is the field of engineering concerned with the physical and thermodynamic properties of gas - vapor mixtures .

  3. Prism correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_correction

    Thus a prism of 1 Δ would produce 1 cm visible displacement at 100 cm, or 1 meter. This can be represented mathematically as: = ⁡ where is the amount of prism correction in prism dioptres, and is the angle of deviation of the light.

  4. Volume correction factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_Correction_Factor

    The formula for Volume Correction Factor is commonly defined as: V C F = C T L = exp ⁡ { − α T Δ T [ 1 + 0.8 α T ( Δ T + δ T ) ] } {\displaystyle VCF=C_{TL}=\exp\{-\alpha _{T}\Delta T[1+0.8\alpha _{T}(\Delta T+\delta _{T})]\}}

  5. Brix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brix

    Brix. Degrees Brix (symbol °Bx) is a measure of the dissolved solids in a liquid, and is commonly used to measure dissolved sugar content of an aqueous solution. [1] One degree Brix is 1 gram of sucrose in 100 grams of solution and represents the strength of the solution as percentage by mass. If the solution contains dissolved solids other ...

  6. Useful conversions and formulas for air dispersion modeling

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Useful_conversions_and...

    0.1 × ( 12 ÷ 8 ) = 0.15 grain per dscf when corrected to a gas having a specified reference CO 2 content of 12 volume %. Notes: Although ppmv and grains per dscf have been used in the above examples, concentrations such as ppbv (i.e., parts per billion by volume), volume percent, grams per dscm and many others may also be used.

  7. Melting-point depression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melting-point_depression

    For depression due to the mixture of another compound, see freezing-point depression. Melting-point depression is the phenomenon of reduction of the melting point of a material with a reduction of its size. This phenomenon is very prominent in nanoscale materials, which melt at temperatures hundreds of degrees lower than bulk materials.

  8. Specific rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_rotation

    In this case, a correction factor in the numerator is necessary:: 248 : 123 [ α ] λ T = 100 × α l × c {\displaystyle [\alpha ]_{\lambda }^{T}={\frac {100\times \alpha }{l\times c}}} When using this equation, the concentration and the solvent may be provided in parentheses after the rotation.

  9. Viscosity models for mixtures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscosity_models_for_mixtures

    Viscosity models for mixtures. The shear viscosity (or viscosity, in short) of a fluid is a material property that describes the friction between internal neighboring fluid surfaces (or sheets) flowing with different fluid velocities. This friction is the effect of (linear) momentum exchange caused by molecules with sufficient energy to move ...

  10. Periodic boundary conditions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_boundary_conditions

    Unit cell with water molecules, used to simulate flowing water. Periodic boundary conditions (PBCs) are a set of boundary conditions which are often chosen for approximating a large (infinite) system by using a small part called a unit cell. PBCs are often used in computer simulations and mathematical models. The topology of two-dimensional PBC ...

  11. Semi-empirical mass formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-empirical_mass_formula

    Nuclear physics. In nuclear physics, the semi-empirical mass formula ( SEMF) (sometimes also called the Weizsäcker formula, Bethe–Weizsäcker formula, or Bethe–Weizsäcker mass formula to distinguish it from the Bethe–Weizsäcker process) is used to approximate the mass of an atomic nucleus from its number of protons and neutrons.
