A scale-free network is a network whose degree distribution follows a power law, at least asymptotically. That is, the fraction P ( k) of nodes in the network having k connections to other nodes goes for large values of k as. where is a parameter whose value is typically in the range (wherein the second moment ( scale parameter) of is infinite ...
Antiscalant. An antiscalant is a chemical or pre-treatment chemical that prevents the formation of scale, or crystallized mineral salts, commonly used in water purification systems, pipelines and cooling tower applications. Antiscalants are also known as scale inhibitor agents.
e. In chemistry, pH ( / piːˈeɪtʃ / pee-AYCH ), also referred to as acidity or basicity, historically denotes " potential of hydrogen " (or "power of hydrogen"). [ 1] It is a logarithmic scale used to specify the acidity or basicity of aqueous solutions.
A buffer solution is a solution where the pH does not change significantly on dilution or if an acid or base is added at constant temperature. [1] Its pH changes very little when a small amount of strong acid or base is added to it. Buffer solutions are used as a means of keeping pH at a nearly constant value in a wide variety of chemical ...
Electronegativity. Electrostatic potential map of a water molecule, where the oxygen atom has a more negative charge (red) than the positive (blue) hydrogen atoms. Electronegativity, symbolized as χ, is the tendency for an atom of a given chemical element to attract shared electrons (or electron density) when forming a chemical bond. [ 1]
To the right is the long tail, and to the left are the few that dominate (also known as the 80–20 rule ). In statistics, a power law is a functional relationship between two quantities, where a relative change in one quantity results in a relative change in the other quantity proportional to a power of the change, independent of the initial ...
Carbon capture and storage ( CCS) is a process in which a relatively pure stream of carbon dioxide (CO 2) from industrial sources is separated, treated and transported to a long-term storage location. [ 1]: 2221 In CCS, the CO 2 is captured from a large point source, such as a chemical plant, coal power plant, cement kiln, or bioenergy plant ...
Scale (chemistry) The scale of a chemical process refers to the rough ranges in mass or volume of a chemical reaction or process that define the appropriate category of chemical apparatus and equipment required to accomplish it, and the concepts, priorities, and economies that operate at each. While the specific terms used—and limits of mass ...
