  2. Transport phenomena - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_phenomena

    There are some notable similarities in equations for momentum, energy, and mass transfer [7] which can all be transported by diffusion, as illustrated by the following examples: Mass: the spreading and dissipation of odors in air is an example of mass diffusion. Energy: the conduction of heat in a solid material is an example of heat diffusion.

  3. Mass transfer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_transfer

    The driving force for mass transfer is usually a difference in chemical potential, when it can be defined, though other thermodynamic gradients may couple to the flow of mass and drive it as well. A chemical species moves from areas of high chemical potential to areas of low chemical potential.

  4. Mass transfer coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_transfer_coefficient

    is the effective mass transfer area [m 2] is the driving force concentration difference [mol/m 3]. This can be used to quantify the mass transfer between phases, immiscible and partially miscible fluid mixtures (or between a fluid and a porous solid [2]).

  5. Mass–energy equivalence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massenergy_equivalence

    Mass near the M87* black hole is converted into a very energetic astrophysical jet, stretching five thousand light years.. In physics, massenergy equivalence is the relationship between mass and energy in a system's rest frame, where the two quantities differ only by a multiplicative constant and the units of measurement.

  6. Thermodynamic system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_system

    Mass and energy remains constant within the system, and no energy or mass transfer takes place across the boundary. As time passes in an isolated system, internal differences in the system tend to even out and pressures and temperatures tend to equalize, as do density differences.

  7. Work (thermodynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_(thermodynamics)

    Thermodynamic work is one of the principal kinds of process by which a thermodynamic system can interact with and transfer energy to its surroundings. This results in externally measurable macroscopic forces on the system's surroundings, which can cause mechanical work, to lift a weight, for example, [1] or cause changes in electromagnetic, [2] [3] [4] or gravitational [5] variables.

  8. Heat transfer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_transfer

    Convective heat transfer, or simply, convection, is the transfer of heat from one place to another by the movement of fluids, a process that is essentially the transfer of heat via mass transfer. The bulk motion of fluid enhances heat transfer in many physical situations, such as between a solid surface and the fluid. [ 10 ]

  9. Momentum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Momentum

    hence the net force is equal to the mass of the particle times its acceleration. [1] Example: A model airplane of mass 1 kg accelerates from rest to a velocity of 6 m/s due north in 2 s. The net force required to produce this acceleration is 3 newtons due north. The change in momentum is 6 kg⋅m/s due north.
