  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.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_separator

    For example, 10 million (1 crore) would be written as 1,00,00,000. In Pakistan, there is a greater tendency to use the standard western system, while using the Indian numbering system when conducting business in Urdu. In Sweden, the currency sometimes used the colon as decimal separator (1 234 567:89).

  4. 256-bit computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/256-bit_computing

    In computer architecture, 256-bit integers, memory addresses, or other data units are those that are 256 bits (32 octets) wide.Also, 256-bit central processing unit (CPU) and arithmetic logic unit (ALU) architectures are those that are based on registers, address buses, or data buses of that size.

  5. Pythagorean triple - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_triple

    Euclid's formula for Pythagorean triples and the inverse relationship t = y / (x + 1) mean that, except for (−1, 0), a point (x, y) on the circle is rational if and only if the corresponding value of t is a rational number. Note that t = y / (x + 1) = b / (a + c) = n / m is also the tangent of half of the angle that is opposite the triangle ...

  6. Imaginary number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imaginary_number

    An imaginary number is the product of a real number and the imaginary unit i, [note 1] which is defined by its property i 2 = −1. [1] [2] The square of an imaginary number bi is −b 2. For example, 5i is an imaginary number, and its square is −25. The number zero is considered to be both real and imaginary. [3]

  7. 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.

  8. Grashof number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grashof_number

    Free convection is caused by a change in density of a fluid due to a temperature change or gradient. Usually the density decreases due to an increase in temperature and causes the fluid to rise. This motion is caused by the buoyancy force. The major force that resists the motion is the viscous force. The Grashof number is a way to quantify the ...

  9. Schmidt number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schmidt_number

    The turbulent Schmidt number is commonly used in turbulence research and is defined as: [3] = where: is the eddy viscosity in units of (m 2 /s); is the eddy diffusivity (m 2 /s).; The turbulent Schmidt number describes the ratio between the rates of turbulent transport of momentum and the turbulent transport of mass (or any passive scalar).
