  2. Balance equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balance_equation

    The global balance equations can then be partitioned to give a set of local balance equations (also known as partial balance equations, [2] independent balance equations [7] or individual balance equations [8]). [1] These balance equations were first considered by Peter Whittle. [8] [9] The resulting equations are somewhere between detailed

  3. Mass balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_balance

    Strictly speaking the above equation holds also for systems with chemical reactions if the terms in the balance equation are taken to refer to total mass, i.e. the sum of all the chemical species of the system. In the absence of a chemical reaction the amount of any chemical species flowing in and out will be the same; this gives rise to an ...

  4. Method of dominant balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_dominant_balance

    In mathematics, the method of dominant balance approximates the solution to an equation by solving a simplified form of the equation containing 2 or more of the equation's terms that most influence (dominate) the solution and excluding terms contributing only small modifications to this approximate solution.

  5. Conservation law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_law

    The more general inhomogeneous case: + = is not a conservation equation but the general kind of balance equation describing a dissipative system. The dependent variable y is called a nonconserved quantity, and the inhomogeneous term s(y,x,t) is the-source, or dissipation.

  6. Chemical equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_equation

    A chemical equation is the symbolic representation of a chemical reaction in the form of symbols and chemical formulas.The reactant entities are given on the left-hand side and the product entities are on the right-hand side with a plus sign between the entities in both the reactants and the products, and an arrow that points towards the products to show the direction of the reaction. [1]

  7. Detailed balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detailed_balance

    A Markov process is called a reversible Markov process or reversible Markov chain if there exists a positive stationary distribution π that satisfies the detailed balance equations [12] =, where P ij is the Markov transition probability from state i to state j, i.e. P ij = P(X t = j | X t − 1 = i), and π i and π j are the equilibrium probabilities of being in states i and j, respectively ...

  8. Hydrostatic equilibrium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrostatic_equilibrium

    Note finally that this last equation can be derived by solving the three-dimensional Navier–Stokes equations for the equilibrium situation where = = = = Then the only non-trivial equation is the -equation, which now reads + = Thus, hydrostatic balance can be regarded as a particularly simple equilibrium solution of the Navier–Stokes equations.

  9. Accounting equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accounting_equation

    Since the balance sheet is founded on the principles of the accounting equation, this equation can also be said to be responsible for estimating the net worth of an entire company. The fundamental components of the accounting equation include the calculation of both company holdings and company debts; thus, it allows owners to gauge the total ...
