  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.

    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

    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. Orbital eccentricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_eccentricity

    For elliptical orbits, a simple proof shows that ⁡ gives the projection angle of a perfect circle to an ellipse of eccentricity e. For example, to view the eccentricity of the planet Mercury (e = 0.2056), one must simply calculate the inverse sine to find the projection angle of 11.86 degrees. Then, tilting any circular object by that angle ...

    This corresponds to the formula for a conic section of eccentricity e = (+ ⁡) where the eccentricity = | | and C is a constant. [ 1 ] Taking the dot product of A with itself yields an equation involving the total energy E , [ 1 ] A 2 = m 2 k 2 + 2 m E L 2 , {\displaystyle A^{2}=m^{2}k^{2}+2mEL^{2},} which may be rewritten in terms of the ...

  8. 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.}

  9. Van Deemter equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Deemter_equation

    The van Deemter equation is a hyperbolic function that predicts that there is an optimum velocity at which there will be the minimum variance per unit column length and, thence, a maximum efficiency. The van Deemter equation was the result of the first application of rate theory to the chromatography elution process.
