  2. Eccentricity (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eccentricity_(mathematics)

    In mathematics, the eccentricity of a conic section is a non-negative real number that uniquely characterizes its shape. One can think of the eccentricity as a measure of how much a conic section deviates from being circular. In particular: The eccentricity of a circle is 0. The eccentricity of an ellipse which is not a circle is between 0 and 1.

  3. Fundamental resolution equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Fundamental_Resolution_Equation

    So what does this mean? It means that to increase resolution of two peaks on a chromatogram, one of the three terms of the equation need to be modified. 1) N can be increased by lengthening the column (least effective, as doubling the column will get a 2 1/2 or 1.44x increase in resolution). 2) Increasing k' also helps.

  4. Euler's critical load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_critical_load

    The following assumptions are made while deriving Euler's formula: [3] The material of the column is homogeneous and isotropic. The compressive load on the column is axial only. The column is free from initial stress. The weight of the column is neglected. The column is initially straight (no eccentricity of the axial load).

  5. Resolution (chromatography) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resolution_(chromatography)

    Example chromatogram showing signal as a function of retention time. In chromatography, resolution is a measure of the separation of two peaks of different retention time t in a chromatogram. [1] [2] [3] [4]

  6. Fenske equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fenske_equation

    The Fenske equation in continuous fractional distillation is an equation used for calculating the minimum number of theoretical plates required for the separation of a binary feed stream by a fractionation column that is being operated at total reflux (i.e., which means that no overhead product distillate is being withdrawn from the column ...

  7. Jurin's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jurin's_Law

    This equation means that the pressure at point is the pressure at the interface plus the pressure due to the weight of the liquid column of height . In this way, we can calculate the pressure at the convex interface p i n t = p w − ρ g h = p a t m − ρ g h . {\displaystyle p_{\rm {int}}=p_{\rm {w}}-\rho gh=p_{\rm {atm}}-\rho gh.}

  8. Orbital eccentricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_eccentricity

    The table lists the values for all planets and dwarf planets, and selected asteroids, comets, and moons. Mercury has the greatest orbital eccentricity of any planet in the Solar System (e = 0.2056), followed by Mars of 0.093 4. Such eccentricity is sufficient for Mercury to receive twice as much solar irradiation at

  9. Angular eccentricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_eccentricity

    Angular eccentricity is one of many parameters which arise in the study of the ellipse or ellipsoid. It is denoted here by α (alpha). It is denoted here by α (alpha). It may be defined in terms of the eccentricity , e , or the aspect ratio, b/a (the ratio of the semi-minor axis and the semi-major axis ):
