  2. Dispersion relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersion_relation

    Two-frequency beats of a non-dispersive transverse wave. Since the wave is non-dispersive, phase and group velocities are equal. For an ideal string, the dispersion relation can be written as =, where T is the tension force in the string, and μ is the string's mass per unit length. As for the case of electromagnetic waves in vacuum, ideal ...

  3. Dispersion (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersion_(chemistry)

    Dispersion is a process by which (in the case of solid dispersing in a liquid) agglomerated particles are separated from each other, and a new interface between the inner surface of the liquid dispersion medium and the surface of the dispersed particles is generated. This process is facilitated by molecular diffusion and convection. [4]

  4. Nonlinear dispersion relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonlinear_dispersion_relation

    A nonlinear dispersion relation (NDR) is a dispersion relation that assigns the correct phase velocity to a nonlinear wave structure. As an example of how diverse and intricate the underlying description can be, we deal with plane electrostatic wave structures ϕ ( x − v 0 t ) {\displaystyle \phi (x-v_{0}t)} which propagate with v 0 ...

  5. Dispersity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersity

    In chemistry, the dispersity is a measure of the heterogeneity of sizes of molecules or particles in a mixture. A collection of objects is called uniform if the objects have the same size, shape, or mass. A sample of objects that have an inconsistent size, shape and mass distribution is called non-uniform.

  6. Chemical graph theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_graph_theory

    Chemical graph theory is the topology branch of mathematical chemistry which applies graph theory to mathematical modelling of chemical phenomena. [1] The pioneers of chemical graph theory are Alexandru Balaban, Ante Graovac, Iván Gutman, Haruo Hosoya, Milan Randić and Nenad Trinajstić [2] (also Harry Wiener and others). In 1988, it was ...

  7. Fick's laws of diffusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fick's_laws_of_diffusion

    The relationship between Fick's law and semiconductors: the principle of the semiconductor is transferring chemicals or dopants from a layer to a layer. Fick's law can be used to control and predict the diffusion by knowing how much the concentration of the dopants or chemicals move per meter and second through mathematics.

  8. Non-random two-liquid model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-random_two-liquid_model

    The non-random two-liquid model [1] (abbreviated NRTL model) is an activity coefficient model introduced by Renon and Prausnitz in 1968 that correlates the activity coefficients of a compound with its mole fractions in the liquid phase concerned. It is frequently applied in the field of chemical engineering to calculate phase equilibria.

  9. Trefoil knot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trefoil_knot

    Though chiral, the trefoil knot is also invertible, meaning that there is no distinction between a counterclockwise-oriented and a clockwise-oriented trefoil. That is, the chirality of a trefoil depends only on the over and under crossings, not the orientation of the curve.
