  2. Steady state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steady_state

    Steady state determination is an important topic, because many design specifications of electronic systems are given in terms of the steady-state characteristics. Periodic steady-state solution is also a prerequisite for small signal dynamic modeling. Steady-state analysis is therefore an indispensable component of the design process.

  3. Time constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_constant

    The long-time solution is time independent and independent of initial conditions: =. The time constant remains the same for the same system regardless of the starting conditions. Simply stated, a system approaches its final, steady-state situation at a constant rate, regardless of how close it is to that value at any arbitrary starting point.

  4. Heat equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_equation

    Thus, the condition is fulfilled in situations in which the time equilibrium constant is fast enough that the more complex time-dependent heat equation can be approximated by the steady-state case. Equivalently, the steady-state condition exists for all cases in which enough time has passed that the thermal field u no longer evolves in time. In ...

  5. Steady state (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steady_state_(chemistry)

    The steady state approximation, [1] occasionally called the stationary-state approximation or Bodenstein's quasi-steady state approximation, involves setting the rate of change of a reaction intermediate in a reaction mechanism equal to zero so that the kinetic equations can be simplified by setting the rate of formation of the intermediate equal to the rate of its destruction.

  6. Harmonic balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_balance

    Harmonic balance is a method used to calculate the steady-state response of nonlinear differential equations, [1] and is mostly applied to nonlinear electrical circuits. [2] [3] [4] It is a frequency domain method for calculating the steady state, as opposed to the various time-domain steady-state methods.

  7. Finite-difference time-domain method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite-difference_time...

    Finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) or Yee's method (named after the Chinese American applied mathematician Kane S. Yee, born 1934) is a numerical analysis technique used for modeling computational electrodynamics (finding approximate solutions to the associated system of differential equations).

  8. Fourier number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourier_number

    The Fourier number can be derived by nondimensionalizing the time-dependent diffusion equation.As an example, consider a rod of length that is being heated from an initial temperature by imposing a heat source of temperature > at time = and position = (with along the axis of the rod).

  9. Thermal conduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_conduction

    Over time, the field of temperatures inside the bar reaches a new steady-state, in which a constant temperature gradient along the bar is finally set up, and this gradient then stays constant in time. Typically, such a new steady-state gradient is approached exponentially with time after a new temperature-or-heat source or sink, has been ...
