  2. Spigot algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spigot_algorithm

    A variant of the spigot approach uses an algorithm which can be used to compute a single arbitrary digit of the transcendental without computing the preceding digits: an example is the Bailey–Borwein–Plouffe formula, a digit extraction algorithm for π which produces base 16 digits. The inevitable truncation of the underlying infinite ...

  3. Flour extraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flour_extraction

    The milling systems with a lower extraction percentage discard most of the rancidity-prone nutritional minerals and oils associated with the bran and germ elements, [2] of the wheat kernel. [3] Baking functionality is the other issue, with increased loaf volume accomplished by simply removing just the larger flour particles.

  4. Kjeldahl method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kjeldahl_method

    C + 2 H 2 SO 4 → CO 2 + 2 SO 2 + 2 H 2 O S + 2 H 2 SO 4 → 3 SO 2 + 2 H 2 O. Catalysts like selenium, Hg 2 SO 4 or CuSO 4 are often added to make the digestion go faster. Na 2 SO 4 or K 2 SO 4 is also added to increase the boiling point of H 2 SO 4. Digestion is complete when the liquor clarifies with the release of fumes. [3] A distillation ...

  5. Bailey–Borwein–Plouffe formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bailey–Borwein–Plouffe...

    Using the P function mentioned above, the simplest known formula for π is for s = 1, but m > 1. Many now-discovered formulae are known for b as an exponent of 2 or 3 and m as an exponent of 2 or it some other factor-rich value, but where several of the terms of sequence A are zero. The discovery of these formulae involves a computer search for ...

  6. Extraction (chemistry) - Wikipedia

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

    Laboratory-scale liquid-liquid extraction. Photograph of a separatory funnel in a laboratory scale extraction of 2 immiscible liquids: liquids are a diethyl ether upper phase, and a lower aqueous phase. Soxhlet extractor. Extraction in chemistry is a separation process consisting of the separation of a substance from a matrix. The distribution ...

  7. Trailing zero - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trailing_zero

    In mathematics, trailing zeros are a sequence of 0 in the decimal representation (or more generally, in any positional representation) of a number, after which no other digits follow. Trailing zeros to the right of a decimal point , as in 12.340, don't affect the value of a number and may be omitted if all that is of interest is its numerical ...

  8. Centrifugal extractor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_extractor

    The two liquids (typically an aqueous phase (heavy) and an organic phase (light)) enter the annular mixing zone where a liquid-liquid dispersion is formed and extraction occurs as solutes (e.g. dissolved metal ions) are transferred from one phase into the other. Inside the rotor, the liquids will be separated into a heavy (blue) and a light ...

  9. Separatory funnel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separatory_funnel

    All of these solvents form a clear delineation between the two liquids. [2] The more dense liquid, typically the aqueous phase unless the organic phase is halogenated , sinks to the bottom of the funnel and can be drained out through a valve away from the less dense liquid, which remains in the separatory funnel.
