  2. Number density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_density

    Population density is an example of areal number density. The term number concentration (symbol: lowercase n , or C , to avoid confusion with amount of substance indicated by uppercase N ) is sometimes used in chemistry for the same quantity, particularly when comparing with other concentrations .

  3. Electron density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_density

    Electron density calculated for aniline, high density values indicate atom positions, intermediate density values emphasize bonding, low values provide information on a molecule's shape and size. where P is the density matrix. Electron densities are often rendered in terms of an isosurface (an isodensity surface) with the size and shape of the ...

  4. Population density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_density

    Population density is the number of people per unit of area, usually transcribed as "per square kilometer" or square mile, and which may include or exclude, for example, areas of water or glaciers. Commonly this is calculated for a county, city, country, another territory or the entire world . The world's population is around 8,000,000,000 [3 ...

  5. Boltzmann equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boltzmann_equation

    The equation is a nonlinear integro-differential equation, and the unknown function in the equation is a probability density function in six-dimensional space of a particle position and momentum. The problem of existence and uniqueness of solutions is still not fully resolved, but some recent results are quite promising.

  6. Boltzmann distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boltzmann_distribution

    Boltzmann's distribution is an exponential distribution. Boltzmann factor (vertical axis) as a function of temperature T for several energy differences ε i − ε j.. In statistical mechanics and mathematics, a Boltzmann distribution (also called Gibbs distribution) is a probability distribution or probability measure that gives the probability that a system will be in a certain state as a ...

  7. Population inversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_inversion

    Population inversion. In physics, specifically statistical mechanics, a population inversion occurs while a system (such as a group of atoms or molecules) exists in a state in which more members of the system are in higher, excited states than in lower, unexcited energy states. It is called an "inversion" because in many familiar and commonly ...

  8. Density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density

    Density ( volumetric mass density or specific mass) is a substance's mass per unit of volume. The symbol most often used for density is ρ (the lower case Greek letter rho ), although the Latin letter D can also be used. Mathematically, density is defined as mass divided by volume: [1] where ρ is the density, m is the mass, and V is the volume ...

  9. Population balance equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_balance_equation

    Population balance equation. Population balance equations (PBEs) have been introduced in several branches of modern science, mainly in Chemical Engineering, [1] to describe the evolution of a population of particles. This includes topics like crystallization, [2] leaching (metallurgy), [3] [4] liquid–liquid extraction, gas-liquid dispersions ...
