  2. Carothers equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carothers_equation

    The simplest case refers to the formation of a strictly linear polymer by the reaction (usually by condensation) of two monomers in equimolar quantities. An example is the synthesis of nylon-6,6 whose formula is [−NH−(CH 2) 6 −NH−CO−(CH 2) 4 −CO−] n from one mole of hexamethylenediamine, H 2 N(CH 2) 6 NH 2, and one mole of adipic acid, HOOC−(CH 2) 4 −COOH.

  3. Pace (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pace_(unit)

    In the United States the pace is an uncommon customary unit of length denoting a brisk single step and equal to 2 + 1 ⁄ 2 feet or 30.0 inches or 76.2 centimetres. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] The Ancient Roman pace ( Latin : passus ) was notionally the distance of a full stride from the position of one heel where it raised off of the ground to where it set ...

  4. Machin-like formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machin-like_formula

    The unit of time is defined such that one step of the pseudo code corresponds to one unit. To execute the loop, in its entirety, requires four units of time. is defined to be four. Note, however, that if is equal to one, then step one can be skipped. The loop only takes three units of time.

  5. Dimensional analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensional_analysis

    But, in concept, there is no problem adding quantities of the same dimension expressed in different units. For example, 1 metre added to 1 foot is a length, but one cannot derive that length by simply adding 1 and 1. A conversion factor, which is a ratio of like-dimensioned quantities and is equal to the dimensionless unity, is needed:

  6. Kinetic chain length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_chain_length

    The original polymer chain is terminated and a new one is initiated. [6] The kinetic chain is not terminated if the new radical can add monomer. [1] However the degree of polymerization is reduced without affecting the rate of polymerization (which depends on kinetic chain length), since two (or more) macromolecules are formed instead of one. [7]

  7. Decade (log scale) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decade_(log_scale)

    For example, an audio amplifier will usually have a frequency band ranging from 20 Hz to 20 kHz and representing the entire band using a decade log scale is very convenient. Typically the graph for such a representation would begin at 1 Hz (10 0 ) and go up to perhaps 100 kHz (10 5 ), to comfortably include the full audio band in a standard ...

  8. Penrose tiling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penrose_tiling

    Concretely, if A S has side lengths (1, 1, φ), then A L has side lengths (φ, φ, 1). B-tiles can be related to such A-tiles in two ways: If B S has the same size as A L then B L is an enlarged version φ A S of A S, with side lengths (φ, φ, φ 2 = 1 + φ) – this decomposes into an A L tile and A S tile joined along a common side of length 1.

  9. Euler method - Wikipedia

    The next step is to multiply the above value by the step size , which we take equal to one here: h ⋅ f ( y 0 ) = 11 = 1. {\displaystyle h\cdot f(y_{0})=1\cdot 1=1.} Since the step size is the change in t {\displaystyle t} , when we multiply the step size and the slope of the tangent, we get a change in y {\displaystyle y} value.
