  2. Bordwell thermodynamic cycle - Wikipedia

    However, the -ΔG˚ is not a BDE, since BDE are by definition stated in terms of enthalpy (ΔH˚). The two values are of course related by ΔG˚ = ΔH˚ - TΔS˚ and as a result educated comparisons can be made between ΔG˚ and ΔH˚. R- ⇌ e- + R. (Reaction 1) ΔG o rxn 1 = -nFE˚ 1/2 H + + e- ⇌ H. (Reaction 2) ΔG o rxn 2 = -nFE˚ 1/2

    Its symbol is Δ f G˚. All elements in their standard states (diatomic oxygen gas, graphite, etc.) have standard Gibbs free energy change of formation equal to zero, as there is no change involved. Δ f G = Δ f G˚ + RT ln Q f, where Q f is the reaction quotient. At equilibrium, Δ f G = 0, and Q f = K, so the equation becomes Δ f G˚ = − ...

    This glossary of geography terms is a list of definitions of terms and concepts used in geography and related fields, including Earth science, oceanography, cartography, and human geography, as well as those describing spatial dimension, topographical features, natural resources, and the collection, analysis, and visualization of geographic ...

    Also called Indianite. A mineral from the lime-rich end of the plagioclase group of minerals. Anorthites are usually silicates of calcium and aluminium occurring in some basic igneous rocks, typically those produced by the contact metamorphism of impure calcareous sediments. anticline An arched fold in which the layers usually dip away from the fold axis. Contrast syncline. aphanic Having the ...

  6. Prime knot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_knot

    Simplest prime link. In knot theory, a prime knot or prime link is a knot that is, in a certain sense, indecomposable. Specifically, it is a non-trivial knot which cannot be written as the knot sum of two non-trivial knots. Knots that are not prime are said to be composite knots or composite links. It can be a nontrivial problem to determine ...

  7. Knot theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knot_theory

    A knot is prime if it is non-trivial and cannot be written as the knot sum of two non-trivial knots. A knot that can be written as such a sum is composite. There is a prime decomposition for knots, analogous to prime and composite numbers (Schubert 1949). For oriented knots, this decomposition is also unique.

  8. Topology - Wikipedia

    A three-dimensional model of a figure-eight knot.The figure-eight knot is a prime knot and has an Alexander–Briggs notation of 4 1.. Topology (from the Greek words τόπος, 'place, location', and λόγος, 'study') is the branch of mathematics concerned with the properties of a geometric object that are preserved under continuous deformations, such as stretching, twisting, crumpling ...

    The definition of the Gibbs function is = + where H is the enthalpy defined by: = +. Taking differentials of each definition to find dH and dG, then using the fundamental thermodynamic relation (always true for reversible or irreversible processes): = where S is the entropy, V is volume, (minus sign due to reversibility, in which dU = 0: work other than pressure-volume may be done and is equal ...
