  2. Component (thermodynamics) - Wikipedia

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

    In thermodynamics, a component is one of a collection of chemically independent constituents [a] [1] of a system. The number of components represents the minimum number of independent chemical species necessary to define the composition of all phases of the system.

  3. Phase rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_rule

    In thermodynamics, the phase rule is a general principle governing multi-component, multi-phase systems in thermodynamic equilibrium.For a system without chemical reactions, it relates the number of freely varying intensive properties (F) to the number of components (C), the number of phases (P), and number of ways of performing work on the system (N): [1] [2] [3]: 123–125

  4. Chemical composition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_composition

    The chemical composition of a mixture can be defined as the distribution of the individual substances that constitute the mixture, called "components". In other words, it is equivalent to quantifying the concentration of each component. Because there are different ways to define the concentration of a component, there are also different ways to ...

  5. Constituent (linguistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constituent_(linguistics)

    In syntactic analysis, a constituent is a word or a group of words that function as a single unit within a hierarchical structure. The constituent structure of sentences is identified using tests for constituents. [1] These tests apply to a portion of a sentence, and the results provide evidence about the constituent structure of the sentence.

  6. Composition of matter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_of_matter

    The intermixture of ingredients in a composition of matter may be produced by mechanical or chemical operations, and its result may be a compound substance resolvable into its constituent elements by mechanical processes, or a new substance which can be destroyed only by chemical analysis. [4]

  7. Phrase structure rules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phrase_structure_rules

    Phrase structure rules break sentences down into their constituent parts. These constituents are often represented as tree structures (dendrograms). The tree for Chomsky's sentence can be rendered as follows: A constituent is any word or combination of words that is dominated by a single node. Thus each individual word is a constituent.

    In the mad rush for the latest and greatest, it's easy to categorize older technologies as inferior just because they're older. We've covered the topic of HDMI vs. component before, and there's ...

  9. Composite material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_material

    A composite or composite material (also composition material) is a material which is produced from two or more constituent materials. [1] These constituent materials have notably dissimilar chemical or physical properties and are merged to create a material with properties unlike the individual elements.
