  2. Hexadecimal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexadecimal

    Hexadecimal (also known as base-16 or simply hex) is a positional numeral system that represents numbers using a radix (base) of sixteen. Unlike the decimal system representing numbers using ten symbols, hexadecimal uses sixteen distinct symbols, most often the symbols "0"–"9" to represent values 0 to 9 and "A"–"F" to represent values from ten to fifteen.

  3. Rayleigh number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh_number

    For free convection near a vertical wall, the Rayleigh number is defined as: = = where: x is the characteristic length; Ra x is the Rayleigh number for characteristic length x; g is acceleration due to gravity

  4. Numeral system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeral_system

    The first true written positional numeral system is considered to be the Hindu–Arabic numeral system.This system was established by the 7th century in India, [1] but was not yet in its modern form because the use of the digit zero had not yet been widely accepted.

  5. Ion transport number - Wikipedia

    In chemistry, ion transport number, also called the transference number, is the fraction of the total electric current carried in an electrolyte by a given ionic species i: [1]

  6. Iribarren number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iribarren_number

    The Iribarren number which is often denoted as Ir or ξ – is defined as: [5] = ⁡ /, with =, where ξ is the Iribarren number, is the angle of the seaward slope of a structure, H is the wave height, L 0 is the deep-water wavelength, T is the period and g is the gravitational acceleration.

  7. Radix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radix

    Generally, in a system with radix b (b > 1), a string of digits d 1... d n denotes the number d 1 b n−1 + d 2 b n−2 + … + d n b 0, where 0 ≤ d i < b. [1] In contrast to decimal, or radix 10, which has a ones' place, tens' place, hundreds' place, and so on, radix b would have a ones' place, then a b 1 s' place, a b 2 s' place, etc. [2]

  8. Nusselt number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nusselt_number

    The Nusselt number is the ratio of total heat transfer (convection + conduction) to conductive heat transfer across a boundary. The convection and conduction heat flows are parallel to each other and to the surface normal of the boundary surface, and are all perpendicular to the mean fluid flow in the simple case.

  9. Prandtl number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prandtl_number

    For air with a pressure of 1 bar, the Prandtl numbers in the temperature range between −100 °C and +500 °C can be calculated using the formula given below. [2] The temperature is to be used in the unit degree Celsius.
