  2. Step (software) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Step_(software)

    Step is based on bodies and forces placed by the user: Bodies range from tiny particles to huge polygons, and each body has unique properties that influence the outcome of the simulation, such as mass and velocity, and their derivations such as kinetic energy.

  3. List of open-source software for mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_open-source...

    The primary difference between a computer algebra system and a traditional calculator is the ability to deal with equations symbolically rather than numerically. The precise uses and capabilities of these systems differ greatly from one system to another, yet their purpose remains the same: manipulation of symbolic equations.

  4. Heat of combustion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_of_combustion

    Since the heat of combustion of these elements is known, the heating value can be calculated using Dulong's Formula: HHV [kJ/g]= 33.87m C + 122.3(m H - m O ÷ 8) + 9.4m S where m C , m H , m O , m N , and m S are the contents of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur on any (wet, dry or ash free) basis, respectively.

    also called electric potential difference volt (V) volume: cubic meter (m 3) shear force: velocity: meter per second (m/s) weight: newton (N) mechanical work: joule (J) width: meter (m) electrical reactance: ohm (Ω) position vector: meter (m) displacement

  6. Spin isomers of hydrogen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_isomers_of_hydrogen

    Since "normal" room-temperature hydrogen is a 3:1 ortho:para mixture, its molar residual rotational energy at low temperature is (3/4) × 2Rθ rot ≈ 1091 J/mol, [citation needed] which is somewhat larger than the enthalpy of vaporization of normal hydrogen, 904 J/mol at the boiling point, T b ≈ 20.369 K. [10] Notably, the boiling points of ...

  7. Equipartition theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equipartition_theorem

    The (Newtonian) kinetic energy of a particle of mass m, velocity v is given by = | | = (+ +), where v x, v y and v z are the Cartesian components of the velocity v.Here, H is short for Hamiltonian, and used henceforth as a symbol for energy because the Hamiltonian formalism plays a central role in the most general form of the equipartition theorem.

  8. Vertical pressure variation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_pressure_variation

    Vertical pressure variation is the variation in pressure as a function of elevation.Depending on the fluid in question and the context being referred to, it may also vary significantly in dimensions perpendicular to elevation as well, and these variations have relevance in the context of pressure gradient force and its effects.

  9. Isobaric process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isobaric_process

    The results of these two process examples illustrate the difference between the fraction of heat converted to usable work (mgΔh) vs. the fraction converted to pressure-volume work done against the surrounding atmosphere. The usable work approaches zero as the working gas pressure approaches that of the surroundings, while maximum usable work ...
