Fluid Mechanics
A dimensionless number that gives a measure of the ratio of inertial forces to viscous forces for given flow conditions
What is the Reynolds number
This system is used to regulate a process
What is a control systems
This constant represented by h (lower case h) has a value of 6.626e-34 J*s and is crucial to the field of quantum mechanics
What is planck's constant
This geometric entity, having both magnitude and direction
What is a vector
This Stony Brook professor teaches Thermodynamics (304 and 314)
Who is Tad Koga
This principle states that an increase in the speed of a fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in pressure or a decrease in the fluid's potential energy
What is Bernoulli's principle
This parameter is the time it takes for a first order system to reach 63% of the change in output
What is the time constant
The temperature dependence of a chemical reaction is commonly described through the use of this equation
What is the Arrhenius equation
Given the lengths of 2 sides of a triangle and the corresponding angle in between, this law will provide the length of the 3rd side
What is the Law of Cosines
This Stony Brook professor teaches and does research on catalysis
Who TJ Kim
This equation is used to calculate the fanning friction factor for laminar flow
What is 16/Re
This type of control measures disturbances and compensates for them before the output changes
What is feed forward control
Condition when a boiling liquid mixture produces a vapor of exactly the same composition as it evaporates.
What is an azeotrope
In 1637, Descartes published La Geometrie, which contained the first written form of this famous equation used to find roots of a second-order polynomial
What is quadratic formula
This Stony Brook professor has a passion for nanotechnology and worked in industry
Who is Steve Nitodas
A pump characterized by approximately constant head, but with flowrates that increase or decrease depending upon the system resistance
What is a centrifugal pump
This mode of the PID controller eliminates offset
What is the integral mode
Organometallic chemical reaction in which alkyl- or aryl-magnesium halides are added to a carbonyl group in an aldehyde or ketone
What is the Grignard reaction
In differential calculus, this famous rule uses derivatives to evaluate limits involving indeterminate forms
What is L'Hospital's rule
These two Stony Brook professors are married and live in Stony Brook all year round
Who are Tad and Maya Koga
This law states that the shear stress between adjacent fluid layers is proportional to the negative value of the velocity gradient between the two layers
What is Newton's law of viscosity
This type of valve is used to have an immediate effect on the system
What is quick opening
This term describes an object that is not superimposable on its mirror image
What Is chiral
This famous identity states that e^iπ+1 = 0
What is Euler's Identity
