  2. Critical point (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_point_(mathematics)

    A critical value is the image under f of a critical point. These concepts may be visualized through the graph of f: at a critical point, the graph has a horizontal tangent if one can be assigned at all. Notice how, for a differentiable function, critical point is the same as stationary point.

  3. Critical point (thermodynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_point...

    The critical point of water occurs at 647.096 K (373.946 °C; 705.103 °F) and 22.064 megapascals (3,200.1 psi; 217.75 atm; 220.64 bar). [ 3 ] In the vicinity of the critical point, the physical properties of the liquid and the vapor change dramatically, with both phases becoming even more similar.

  4. F-test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-test

    The null hypothesis is rejected if the F calculated from the data is greater than the critical value of the F-distribution for some desired false-rejection probability (e.g. 0.05). Since F is a monotone function of the likelihood ratio statistic, the F -test is a likelihood ratio test .

  5. Spinodal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinodal

    Extrema of the spinodal in a temperature vs composition plot coincide with those of the binodal curve, and are known as critical points. [7] The spinodal itself can be thought of as a line of pseudocritical points, with the correlation function taking a scaling form with non-classical critical exponents. [8]

  6. Morse theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morse_theory

    This illustrates the following rule: the topology of does not change except when passes the height of a critical point; at this point, a -cell is attached to , where is the index of the point. This does not address what happens when two critical points are at the same height, which can be resolved by a slight perturbation of f . {\displaystyle f.}

  7. Compressibility factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressibility_factor

    There are more detailed generalized compressibility factor graphs based on as many as 25 or more different pure gases, such as the Nelson-Obert graphs. Such graphs are said to have an accuracy within 1–2 percent for values greater than 0.6 and within 4–6 percent for values of 0.3–0.6.

  8. Saddle point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saddle_point

    A saddle point (in red) on the graph of z = x 2 − y 2 (hyperbolic paraboloid). In mathematics, a saddle point or minimax point [1] is a point on the surface of the graph of a function where the slopes (derivatives) in orthogonal directions are all zero (a critical point), but which is not a local extremum of the function. [2]

  9. Hydraulic jumps in rectangular channels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_Jumps_in...

    The first location of interest is the critical point labeled with y c and M c in Figure 6. The critical point represents the minimum value of the momentum function available for that particular flow per unit width, q. An increase in q would cause the M function to move to the right and slightly up, giving the flow access to more momentum at its ...
