  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. 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]

  5. 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).

  6. Eccentric anomaly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eccentric_anomaly

    The equation sin E = − ⁠ y / b ⁠ is immediately able to be ruled out since it traverses the ellipse in the wrong direction. It can also be noted that the second equation can be viewed as coming from a similar triangle with its opposite side having the same length y as the distance from P to the major axis, and its hypotenuse b equal to ...

  7. 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 ...

  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. 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 ):
