  2. Tsiolkovsky rocket equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsiolkovsky_rocket_equation

    A rocket's required mass ratio as a function of effective exhaust velocity ratio. The classical rocket equation, or ideal rocket equation is a mathematical equation that describes the motion of vehicles that follow the basic principle of a rocket: a device that can apply acceleration to itself using thrust by expelling part of its mass with high velocity and can thereby move due to the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_physical_constants

    For example, the atomic mass constant is exactly known when expressed using the dalton (its value is exactly 1 Da), but the kilogram is not exactly known when using these units, the opposite of when expressing the same quantities using the kilogram.

  4. Reduced mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduced_mass

    Given two bodies, one with mass m 1 and the other with mass m 2, the equivalent one-body problem, with the position of one body with respect to the other as the unknown, is that of a single body of mass [1] [2] = = + = +, where the force on this mass is given by the force between the two bodies.

  5. Compliance constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compliance_constants

    A few years later, Köppe and Schnöckel published an article arguing that the B-B bond should be defined as a 1.5 bond based on thermodynamic view and rigid force constant calculations. [2] That same year, Grunenberg reassessed the B-B bond using generalized compliance constants of which he claimed better suited as a bond strength descriptor.

  6. Vacuum permeability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_permeability

    Historically, the constant μ 0 has had different names. In the 1987 IUPAP Red book, for example, this constant was called the permeability of vacuum. [12] Another, now rather rare and obsolete, term is "magnetic permittivity of vacuum". See, for example, Servant et al. [13] Variations thereof, such as "permeability of free space", remain ...

  7. Molecular mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_mechanics

    A force field is used to minimize the bond stretching energy of this ethane molecule.. Molecular mechanics uses classical mechanics to model molecular systems. The Born–Oppenheimer approximation is assumed valid and the potential energy of all systems is calculated as a function of the nuclear coordinates using force fields.

  8. Force field (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_field_(chemistry)

    Part of force field of ethane for the C-C stretching bond. In the context of chemistry, molecular physics, physical chemistry, and molecular modelling, a force field is a computational model that is used to describe the forces between atoms (or collections of atoms) within molecules or between molecules as well as in crystals.

  9. Mass transfer coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_transfer_coefficient

    The driving force shown here as ' ' is expressed in units of moles per unit of volume, but in some cases the driving force is represented by other measures of concentration with different units. For example, the driving force may be partial pressures when dealing with mass transfer in a gas phase and thus use units of pressure.
