  2. List of physical constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_physical_constants

    These include the Boltzmann constant, which gives the correspondence of the dimension temperature to the dimension of energy per degree of freedom, and the Avogadro constant, which gives the correspondence of the dimension of amount of substance with the dimension of count of entities (the latter formally regarded in the SI as being dimensionless).

  3. 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.

  4. Vacuum permeability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_permeability

    Ampère's force law describes the experimentally-derived fact that, for two thin, straight, stationary, parallel wires, a distance r apart, in each of which a current I flows, the force per unit length, F m /L, that one wire exerts upon the other in the vacuum of free space would be given by .

  5. 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. Molecular ...

  6. Vacuum permittivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_permittivity

    Vacuum permittivity, commonly denoted ε 0 (pronounced "epsilon nought" or "epsilon zero"), is the value of the absolute dielectric permittivity of classical vacuum.It may also be referred to as the permittivity of free space, the electric constant, or the distributed capacitance of the vacuum.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. Hamaker constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamaker_constant

    The Hamaker constant provides the means to determine the interaction parameter C from the vdW-pair potential, w ( r ) = − C r 6 . {\displaystyle w(r)={\frac {-C}{r^{6}}}.} Hamaker's method and the associated Hamaker constant ignores the influence of an intervening medium between the two particles of interaction.
