ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 – two-letter country codes which are also used to create the ISO 3166-2 country subdivision codes and the Internet country code top-level domains. ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 – three-letter country codes which may allow a better visual association between the codes and the country names than the 3166-1 alpha-2 codes.
An operating temperature is the allowable temperature range of the local ambient environment at which an electrical or mechanical device operates. The device will operate effectively within a specified temperature range which varies based on the device function and application context, and ranges from the minimum operating temperature to the maximum operating temperature (or peak operating ...
To explain this definition, consider a reversible Carnot cycle engine, where is the amount of heat energy transferred into the system, is the heat leaving the system, is the work done by the system (), is the temperature of the hot reservoir in Celsius, and is the temperature of the cold reservoir in Celsius.
Gout (/ ɡ aʊ t / GOWT [9]) is a form of inflammatory arthritis characterized by recurrent attacks of pain in a red, tender, hot, and swollen joint, [4] [10] caused by the deposition of needle-like crystals of uric acid known as monosodium urate crystals. [11]
Chromium has unique magnetic properties; it is the only elemental solid that shows antiferromagnetic ordering at room temperature and below. Above 38 °C, its magnetic ordering becomes paramagnetic. [4]
Reduced specific heat for KCl, TiO2, and graphite, compared with the Debye theory based on elastic measurements (solid lines). [1]In thermodynamics and solid-state physics, the Debye model is a method developed by Peter Debye in 1912 to estimate phonon contribution to the specific heat (heat capacity) in a solid. [2]
Oregon (/ ˈ ɒr ɪ ɡ ən,-ɡ ɒ n / ⓘ ORR-ih-ghən, -gon) [7] [8] is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. It is a part of the Western U.S., with the Columbia River delineating much of Oregon's northern boundary with Washington, while the Snake River delineates much of its eastern boundary with Idaho.
Barometer A device for measuring pressure. Battery Electrochemical cells that transform chemical energy into electricity. Base In chemistry, bases are substances that, in aqueous solution, release hydroxide (OH −) ions, are slippery to the touch, can taste bitter if an alkali, [50] change the color of indicators (e.g., turn red litmus paper blue), react with acids to form salts, promote ...
