  2. Conservation of mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_of_mass

    The law of conservation of mass can only be formulated in classical mechanics, in which the energy scales associated with an isolated system are much smaller than , where is the mass of a typical object in the system, measured in the frame of reference where the object is at rest, and is the speed of light.

  3. Chemical law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_law

    The laws of stoichiometry, that is, the gravimetric proportions by which chemical elements participate in chemical reactions, elaborate on the law of conservation of mass. Joseph Proust 's law of definite composition says that pure chemicals are composed of elements in a definite formulation.

  4. Mass distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_distribution

    A surface mass on a surface given by the equation f (x, y, z) = 0 may be represented by a density distribution g(x, y, z) δ(f (x, y, z)), where / | | is the mass per unit area. The mathematical modelling can be done by potential theory , by numerical methods (e.g. a great number of mass points ), or by theoretical equilibrium figures.

  5. Continuity equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuity_equation

    For example, in the mass continuity equation for flowing water, if 1 gram per second of water is flowing through a pipe with cross-sectional area 1 cm 2, then the average mass flux j inside the pipe is (1 g/s) / cm 2, and its direction is along the pipe in the direction that the water is flowing. Outside the pipe, where there is no water, the ...

  6. Mass balance - Wikipedia

    where w C, w H, w S, w O refer to the mass fraction of each element in the fuel oil, sulfur burning to SO 2, and AFR mass refers to the air-fuel ratio in mass units. For 1 kg of fuel oil containing 86.1% C, 13.6% H, 0.2% O, and 0.1% S the stoichiometric mass of air is 14.56 kg , so AFR = 14.56.

  7. Newton's law of universal gravitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_law_of_universal...

    The theorem tells us how different parts of the mass distribution affect the gravitational force measured at a point located a distance r 0 from the center of the mass distribution: [13] The portion of the mass that is located at radii r < r 0 causes the same force at the radius r 0 as if all of the mass enclosed within a sphere of radius r 0 ...

  8. Effective mass (solid-state physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_mass_(solid...

    The name "density of states effective mass" is used since the above expression for N C is derived via the density of states for a parabolic band. In practice, the effective mass extracted in this way is not quite constant in temperature (N C does not exactly vary as T 3/2). In silicon, for example, this effective mass varies by a few percent ...

    The magnitudes of 4-vectors are invariants – not "conserved", but the same for all inertial frames (i.e. every observer in an inertial frame will agree on the same value), in particular if A is the four-momentum, the magnitude can derive the famous invariant equation for mass–energy and momentum conservation (see invariant mass):
