  2. Spherical shell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_shell

    An approximation for the volume of a thin spherical shell is the surface area of the inner sphere multiplied by the thickness t of the shell: [2], when t is very small compared to r (). The total surface area of the spherical shell is .

  3. Shell theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_theorem

    A solid, spherically symmetric body can be modeled as an infinite number of concentric, infinitesimally thin spherical shells. If one of these shells can be treated as a point mass, then a system of shells (i.e. the sphere) can also be treated as a point mass. Consider one such shell (the diagram shows a cross-section):

  4. Volume element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_element

    Consider the linear subspace of the n-dimensional Euclidean space R n that is spanned by a collection of linearly independent vectors , …,. To find the volume element of the subspace, it is useful to know the fact from linear algebra that the volume of the parallelepiped spanned by the is the square root of the determinant of the Gramian matrix of the : (), = ….

  5. Model lipid bilayer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_lipid_bilayer

    The earliest model bilayer system developed was the “painted” bilayer, also known as a “black lipid membrane.” The term “painted” refers to the process by which these bilayers are made. First, a small aperture is created in a thin layer of a hydrophobic material such as Teflon. Typically the diameter of this hole is a few tens of ...

  6. Solid of revolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_of_revolution

    Two common methods for finding the volume of a solid of revolution are the disc method and the shell method of integration.To apply these methods, it is easiest to draw the graph in question; identify the area that is to be revolved about the axis of revolution; determine the volume of either a disc-shaped slice of the solid, with thickness δx, or a cylindrical shell of width δx; and then ...

  7. Gurney equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gurney_equations

    Uniformly initiated spherical charge imploding an inner mass - spherical shell explosive charge of mass C, outer tamper layer of mass N, and inner imploding spherical flyer shell of mass M A special case is a hollow sphere of explosives, initiated evenly around its surface, with an outer tamper and inner hollow shell which is then accelerated ...

  8. Shell integration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_integration

    The shell method goes as follows: Consider a volume in three dimensions obtained by rotating a cross-section in the xy-plane around the y-axis. Suppose the cross-section is defined by the graph of the positive function f(x) on the interval [a, b]. Then the formula for the volume will be: ()

  9. Gaussian surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_surface

    A spherical Gaussian surface is used when finding the electric field or the flux produced by any of the following: [3] a point charge; a uniformly distributed spherical shell of charge; any other charge distribution with spherical symmetry; The spherical Gaussian surface is chosen so that it is concentric with the charge distribution.
