  2. Isentropic process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isentropic_process

    For an isentropic flow of a perfect gas, several relations can be derived to define the pressure, density and temperature along a streamline. Note that energy can be exchanged with the flow in an isentropic transformation, as long as it doesn't happen as heat exchange. An example of such an exchange would be an isentropic expansion or ...

  3. Astrosociology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrosociology

    Astrosociology, sociology of outer space, or sociology of the universe [1] is the study of the relationship between outer space, extraterrestrial places, and the wider universe and society. It is an interdisciplinary study between space-related sciences and sociology that seeks to understand the impact of human society outside our current ...

  4. Social dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_dynamics

    The field of social dynamics brings together ideas from economics, sociology, social psychology, and other disciplines, and is a sub-field of complex adaptive systems or complexity science. The fundamental assumption of the field is that individuals are influenced by one another's behavior. The field is closely related to system dynamics. Like ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_entropy

    Social entropy is a sociological theory that evaluates social behaviours using a method based on the second law of thermodynamics. [1] The equivalent of entropy in a social system is considered to be wealth or residence location. [2]

  7. Normal shock tables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_shock_tables

    Note that before and after the shock the isentropic relations are valid and connect static and total quantities. That means, p t o t a l ≠ p s t a t i c + p d y n a m i c {\displaystyle p_{total}\neq p_{static}+p_{dynamic}} (comes from Bernoulli, assumes incompressible flow) because the flow is for Mach numbers greater than unity always ...

  8. Isentropic analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isentropic_analysis

    Isentropic analysis of the 300 kelvin isotrope and the weather satellite image of clouds during a blizzard in Colorado In meteorology , isentropic analysis is a technique used to find the vertical and horizontal motion of airmasses during an adiabatic (i.e. non-heat-exchanging) process above the planetary boundary layer .

  9. Outline of relationships - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_relationships

    Social relations – relationship between two (i.e. a dyad), three (i.e. a triad) or more individuals (i.e. members of a social group). Social relations, derived from individual agency, form the basis of social structure. Social actions – acts which take into account the actions and reactions of individuals (or 'agents').
