  2. Effusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effusion

    Scottish chemist Thomas Graham (1805–1869) found experimentally that the rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the mass of its particles. [5] In other words, the ratio of the rates of effusion of two gases at the same temperature and pressure is given by the inverse ratio of the square roots of the masses ...

  3. Graham's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham's_law

    Rate 1 is the rate of effusion for the first gas. (volume or number of moles per unit time). Rate 2 is the rate of effusion for the second gas. M 1 is the molar mass of gas 1 M 2 is the molar mass of gas 2. Graham's law states that the rate of diffusion or of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molecular weight.

  4. Energy release rate (fracture mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_release_rate...

    In fracture mechanics, the energy release rate, , is the rate at which energy is transformed as a material undergoes fracture. Mathematically, the energy release rate is expressed as the decrease in total potential energy per increase in fracture surface area, [ 1 ] [ 2 ] and is thus expressed in terms of energy per unit area.

    Vacuum range Pressure in hPa () Pressure in mmHg () number density (Molecules / cm 3) number density (Molecules / m 3) Mean free path Ambient pressure 1013 759.8 2.7 × 10 19: 2.7 × 10 25

  6. Oxygen–argon ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen–argon_ratio

    The characteristics of steel, in particular the carbon and chromium content, can be controlled by adjusting the oxygen/argon ratio during the manufacturing process. [7] The oxygen/argon ratio is also important in the creation of thin films used in the manufacture of lithium-ion batteries.

  7. Permeation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permeation

    The diagram on the right shows a testing cell for films, normally made from metals like stainless steel. The photo shows a testing cell for pipes made from glass , similar to a Liebig condenser . The testing medium (liquid or gas) is situated in the inner white pipe and the permeate is collected in the space between the pipe and the glass wall.

  8. Flow stress - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_stress

    The flow stress is an important parameter in the fatigue failure of ductile materials. Fatigue failure is caused by crack propagation in materials under a varying load, typically a cyclically varying load. The rate of crack propagation is inversely proportional to the flow stress of the material.

  9. Gaseous diffusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaseous_diffusion

    Rate 1 is the rate of effusion of 235 UF 6. Rate 2 is the rate of effusion of 238 UF 6. M 1 is the molar mass of 235 UF 6 = 235.043930 + 6 × 18.998403 = 349.034348 g·mol −1 M 2 is the molar mass of 238 UF 6 = 238.050788 + 6 × 18.998403 = 352.041206 g·mol −1
