  2. Conversion of scales of temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_of_scales_of...

    This is a collection of temperature conversion formulas and comparisons among eight different temperature scales, several of which have long been obsolete.. Temperatures on scales that either do not share a numeric zero or are nonlinearly related cannot correctly be mathematically equated (related using the symbol =), and thus temperatures on different scales are more correctly described as ...

  3. Table of spherical harmonics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_spherical_harmonics

    This is a table of orthonormalized spherical harmonics that employ the Condon-Shortley phase up to degree =. Some of these formulas are expressed in terms of the Cartesian expansion of the spherical harmonics into polynomials in x , y , z , and r .

  4. List of equations in fluid mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_equations_in_fluid...

    Flux F through a surface, dS is the differential vector area element, n is the unit normal to the surface. Left: No flux passes in the surface, the maximum amount flows normal to the surface. Right: The reduction in flux passing through a surface can be visualized by reduction in F or d S equivalently (resolved into components , θ is angle to ...

  5. Delisle scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delisle_scale

    Joseph-Nicolas Delisle. The Delisle scale is a temperature scale invented in 1732 by the French astronomer Joseph-Nicolas Delisle (1688–1768). [1] The Delisle scale is notable as one of the few temperature scales that are inverted from the amount of thermal energy they measure; unlike most other temperature scales, higher measurements in degrees Delisle are colder, while lower measurements ...

    Defining equation SI unit Dimension Wavefunction: ψ, Ψ To solve from the Schrödinger equation: varies with situation and number of particles Wavefunction probability density: ρ = | | = m −3 [L] −3: Wavefunction probability current: j: Non-relativistic, no external field:

  7. Rankine scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rankine_scale

    Similar to the Kelvin scale, which was first proposed in 1848, [1] zero on the Rankine scale is absolute zero, but a temperature difference of one Rankine degree (°R or °Ra) is defined as equal to one Fahrenheit degree, rather than the Celsius degree used on the Kelvin scale.

  8. Conversion (chemistry) - Wikipedia

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

    Conversion and its related terms yield and selectivity are important terms in chemical reaction engineering.They are described as ratios of how much of a reactant has reacted (X — conversion, normally between zero and one), how much of a desired product was formed (Y — yield, normally also between zero and one) and how much desired product was formed in ratio to the undesired product(s) (S ...

  9. Shockley–Queisser limit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shockley–Queisser_limit

    The maximum value of f without light concentration (with reflectors for example) is just f ω /2, or 1.09 × 10 −5, according to the authors. Using the above-mentioned values of Q s and Q c, this gives a ratio of open-circuit voltage to thermal voltage of 32.4 (V oc equal to 77% of the band gap). The authors derive the equation
