  2. Conservation law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_law

    Here the conserved quantity is the mass, with density ρ(r,t) and current density ρu, identical to the momentum density, while u(r, t) is the flow velocity. In the general case a conservation equation can be also a system of this kind of equations (a vector equation ) in the form: [3] : 43

  3. Demographics of New York City - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_New_York_City

    The city's population density of 29,091.3 people per square mile (11,232/km 2), makes it the densest of any American municipality with a population above 100,000. Manhattan's population density is 74,781 people per square mile (28,872/km 2), highest of any county in the United States. New York City is multicultural.

  4. Slurry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slurry

    A slurry is a mixture of denser solids suspended in liquid, usually water. The most common use of slurry is as a means of transporting solids or separating minerals, the liquid being a carrier that is pumped on a device such as a centrifugal pump. The size of solid particles may vary from 1 micrometre up to hundreds of millimetres .

  5. Density contrast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density_contrast

    Density contrast is a parameter used in galaxy formation to indicate where there are local enhancements in matter density. [1] It is believed that after inflation, although the universe was mostly uniform, some regions were slightly denser than others with contrast densities on the order of 1 trillionth. As the horizon distance expanded, the ...

  6. Urban density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_density

    Urban density is a term used in urban planning and urban design to refer to the number of people inhabiting a given urbanized area. As such it is to be distinguished from other measures of population density. Urban density is considered an important factor in understanding how cities function. Research related to urban density occurs across ...

  7. Graham's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham's_law

    Graham's law. Graham's law of effusion (also called Graham's law of diffusion) was formulated by Scottish physical chemist Thomas Graham in 1848. [1] Graham found experimentally that the rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of its particles. [1] This formula is stated as: where: Rate 1 is the ...

  8. Separation process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_process

    v. t. e. A separation process is a method that converts a mixture or a solution of chemical substances into two or more distinct product mixtures, [1] a scientific process of separating two or more substances in order to obtain purity. At least one product mixture from the separation is enriched in one or more of the source mixture's constituents.

  9. Continental crust - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continental_crust

    Continental crust is the layer of igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks that forms the geological continents and the areas of shallow seabed close to their shores, known as continental shelves. This layer is sometimes called sial because its bulk composition is richer in aluminium silicates (Al-Si) and has a lower density compared to the ...
