  2. Branching fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branching_fraction

    The half-life of this isotope is 6.480 days, [2] which corresponds to a total decay constant of 0.1070 d −1. Then the partial decay constants, as computed from the branching fractions, are 0.1050 d −1 for ε/β + decays, and 2.14×10 −4 d −1 for β − decays. Their respective partial half-lives are 6.603 d and 347 d.

  3. Order of operations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations

    [2] [3] Thus, in the expression 1 + 2 × 3, the multiplication is performed before addition, and the expression has the value 1 + (2 × 3) = 7, and not (1 + 2) × 3 = 9. When exponents were introduced in the 16th and 17th centuries, they were given precedence over both addition and multiplication and placed as a superscript to the right of ...

  5. Volume fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_fraction

    Volume percent is the concentration of a certain solute, measured by volume, in a solution.It has as a denominator the volume of the mixture itself, as usual for expressions of concentration, [2] rather than the total of all the individual components’ volumes prior to mixing:

  6. Vapor quality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor_quality

    The above expression for vapor quality can be expressed as: = where is equal to either specific enthalpy, specific entropy, specific volume or specific internal energy, is the value of the specific property of saturated liquid state and is the value of the specific property of the substance in dome zone, which we can find both liquid and vapor .

    RFC 2474 — Definition of the differentiated services field (DS field) in the IPv4 and IPv6 headers. Note that the DS field of 8 bits (the bottom two unused) in [2] was later split into the current 6-bit DS field and a separate 2-bit ECN field. [3] RFC 2475 — An architecture for differentiated services. RFC 2597 — Assured forwarding PHB group.

  8. Fractional distillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional_distillation

    For example, fractional distillation is used in oil refineries to separate crude oil into useful substances (or fractions) having different hydrocarbons of different boiling points. The crude oil fractions with higher boiling points: have more carbon atoms; have higher molecular weights; are less branched-chain alkanes; are darker in color; are ...

  9. Fraction (chemistry) - Wikipedia

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

    A fraction in chemistry is a quantity collected from a batch of a substance in a fractionating separation process. In such a process, a mixture is separated into fractions, which have compositions that vary according to a gradient. A fraction can be defined as a group of chemicals that have similar boiling points.
