  2. Tomlinson model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomlinson_model

    The Tomlinson model, also known as the Prandtl–Tomlinson Model, is one of the most popular models in nanotribology widely used as the basis for many investigations of frictional mechanisms on the atomic scale. Essentially, a nanotip is dragged by a spring over a corrugated energy landscape.

  3. Contact mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_mechanics

    Stresses in a contact area loaded simultaneously with a normal and a tangential force. Stresses were made visible using photoelasticity.. Contact mechanics is the study of the deformation of solids that touch each other at one or more points.

  4. Biotic Ligand Model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biotic_Ligand_Model

    The Biotic Ligand Model (BLM) is a tool used in aquatic toxicology that examines the bioavailability of metals in the aquatic environment and the affinity of these metals to accumulate on gill surfaces of organisms. BLM depends on the site-specific water quality including such parameters as pH, hardness, and dissolved organic carbon.

  5. Solution-friction model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solution-friction_model

    The solution-friction model is derived on a pore-flow or viscous flow mechanism, but extends its applicability by incorporating the force balances on the species transporting through the membrane. This inclusion allows for a detailed understanding of the interdependent fluxes of water and salt, influenced by interactions between salt ions and ...

  6. Micrometer (device) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micrometer_(device)

    Micrometer thimble with a reading of 5.779 ± 0.005 mm. (You must enlarge the image to be able to read the scale to its fullest precision.) The reading consists of exactly 5.5 mm from the main scale plus an estimated 0.279 mm from the secondary scale.

  7. 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.

  8. Differential screw - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_screw

    Many differential screw configurations are possible. The micrometer adjuster pictured uses a nut sleeve with different inner and outer thread pitches to connect a screw on the adjusting rod end with threads inside the main barrel; as the thimble rotates the nut sleeve, the rod and barrel move relative to each other based on the differential between the threads.

  9. Micrometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micrometer

    Micrometer can mean: Micrometer (device), used for accurate measurements by means of a calibrated screw; Micrometre, a millionth of a metre
