  2. Pressure–volume diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure–volume_diagram

    One can often quickly calculate this using the PV diagram as it is simply the area enclosed by the cycle. [citation needed] Note that in some cases specific volume will be plotted on the x-axis instead of volume, in which case the area under the curve represents work per unit mass of the working fluid (i.e. J/kg). [citation needed]

  3. Finite volume method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_volume_method

    The finite volume method (FVM) is a method for representing and evaluating partial differential equations in the form of algebraic equations. [1] In the finite volume method, volume integrals in a partial differential equation that contain a divergence term are converted to surface integrals, using the divergence theorem. These terms are then ...

  4. Divergence theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divergence_theorem

    The volume rate of flow of liquid through a source or sink (with the flow through a sink given a negative sign) is equal to the divergence of the velocity field at the pipe mouth, so adding up (integrating) the divergence of the liquid throughout the volume enclosed by S equals the volume rate of flux through S. This is the divergence theorem. [2]

    Assume a general nodal point 'P' for a general control volume. Adjacent nodal points to the East and West are identified by E and W respectively. The West-side face of the control volume is referred to by 'w' and the East-side control volume face by 'e' (Figure 2). Steady state one-dimensional diffusion (Figure 3)

  6. Hypocycloid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypocycloid

    If k is an irrational number, then the curve never closes, and fills the space between the larger circle and a circle of radius R − 2r. Each hypocycloid (for any value of r) is a brachistochrone for the gravitational potential inside a homogeneous sphere of radius R. [6] The area enclosed by a hypocycloid is given by: [3] [7]

    where R O (x) is the function that is farthest from the axis of rotation and R I (x) is the function that is closest to the axis of rotation. For example, the next figure shows the rotation along the x-axis of the red "leaf" enclosed between the square-root and quadratic curves: Rotation about x-axis. The volume of this solid is:

  8. Solid of revolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_of_revolution

    Two common methods for finding the volume of a solid of revolution are the disc method and the shell method of integration.To apply these methods, it is easiest to draw the graph in question; identify the area that is to be revolved about the axis of revolution; determine the volume of either a disc-shaped slice of the solid, with thickness δx, or a cylindrical shell of width δx; and then ...

    The generation of a bicylinder Calculating the volume of a bicylinder. A bicylinder generated by two cylinders with radius r has the volume =, and the surface area [1] [6] =.. The upper half of a bicylinder is the square case of a domical vault, a dome-shaped solid based on any convex polygon whose cross-sections are similar copies of the polygon, and analogous formulas calculating the volume ...
