For a Newtonian fluid, viscosity is a function of temperature and pressure but not shear rate. In liquids, viscosity decreases significantly as temperature increases because higher thermal energy allows molecules to overcome cohesive intermolecular forces more easily. Conversely, in gases, viscosity increases with temperature as more frequent molecular collisions at higher speeds lead to greater momentum transfer.

Accuracy refers to the closeness of a measured value to a standard or known true value. Precision refers to the closeness of two or more measurements to each other. A measurement system can be precise but not accurate, accurate but not precise, neither, or both. These two concepts are independent of each other in measurement theory.

A differentiable manifold is a topological space that is locally similar to Euclidean space, allowing calculus to be applied. Each point has a neighborhood that is homeomorphic to an open subset of [latex]\mathbb{R}^n[/latex]. These local coordinate systems, called charts, are related by smooth transition functions, forming an atlas that defines the manifold's differentiable structure.

Digital electronics is based on Boolean algebra, a mathematical system of logic introduced by George Boole. It uses two values, typically 0 and 1 (or false and true), and three basic operations: AND (conjunction), OR (disjunction), and NOT (negation). These operations directly correspond to the logic gates that form the building blocks of all digital circuits.

This is the differential form of Faraday's law of induction, one of Maxwell's four equations. It states that a time-varying magnetic field ([latex]\mathbf{B}[/latex]) always accompanies a spatially varying, non-conservative electric field ([latex]\mathbf{E}[/latex]). The relationship is expressed as [latex]\nabla \times \mathbf{E} = -\frac{\partial \mathbf{B}}{\partial t}[/latex]. This equation governs how changing magnetic fields create electric fields at a specific point in space.

Electromotive force (EMF) and electric potential difference (voltage) are distinct concepts, though both are measured in volts. EMF is the work per unit charge done by a non-conservative force (e.g., chemical reaction, changing magnetic field) to move charge within a source. Potential difference is the work per unit charge done by the conservative electrostatic field between two points.

This foundational formula connects the macroscopic thermodynamic quantity of entropy (S) with the number of possible microscopic arrangements, or microstates (W), corresponding to the system's macroscopic state. The equation, [latex]S = k_B \ln W[/latex], reveals that entropy is a measure of statistical disorder or randomness. The constant [latex]k_B[/latex] is the Boltzmann constant, linking energy at the particle level with temperature.

Viscoelasticity is the property of materials that exhibit both viscous and elastic characteristics when undergoing deformation. Viscous materials, like honey, resist shear flow and strain linearly with time when a stress is applied. Elastic materials, like a rubber band, strain when stretched and quickly return to their original state once the stress is removed. Viscoelastic materials have elements of both.

De Morgan's laws are a pair of transformation rules in Boolean algebra that are fundamental to digital circuit design. The first law states that the negation of a conjunction is the disjunction of the negations: [latex]\neg(P \land Q) \iff (\neg P) \lor (\neg Q)[/latex]. The second states that the negation of a disjunction is the conjunction of the negations: [latex]\neg(P \lor Q) \iff (\neg P) \land (\neg Q)[/latex].

Passivation is the process by which a material becomes 'passive,' meaning it is less affected by environmental factors such as corrosion. It involves the spontaneous formation of a very thin, non-reactive surface film that acts as a barrier, shielding the bulk material from further attack. This film is typically an oxide or nitride layer, a few nanometers thick.

Riemannian geometry is the branch of differential geometry that studies Riemannian manifolds—smooth manifolds equipped with a Riemannian metric. This metric is a collection of inner products on the tangent spaces, varying smoothly from point to point. It allows for the definition of local geometric notions like angle, length of curves, surface area, and volume, leading to a generalized notion of curvature.

The first commercially successful rechargeable battery. It uses a lead (Pb) anode, a lead dioxide (PbO₂) cathode, and a sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) electrolyte. During discharge, both electrodes are converted into lead sulfate (PbSO₄), and the sulfuric acid is consumed. This process is chemically reversible by applying an external current, making it a practical and robust energy storage system.

The Boltzmann distribution describes the probability that a system in thermal equilibrium at temperature T will be in a specific microstate with energy E. This probability is proportional to the Boltzmann factor, [latex]e^{-E / k_B T}[/latex]. It implies that states with lower energy are exponentially more likely to be occupied than states with higher energy, with temperature modulating this preference.

A fundamental existence and uniqueness theorem for partial differential equations associated with Cauchy initial value problems. It states that if the PDE and the initial conditions are 'analytic' (can be represented by convergent power series), then a unique analytic solution exists in a neighborhood of the initial surface. It provides a local existence guarantee but does not address global behavior or well-posedness.

The Reynolds number ([latex]\text{Re}[/latex]) is a dimensionless quantity in fluid mechanics used to predict flow patterns by representing the ratio of inertial forces to viscous forces. Low Reynolds numbers characterize smooth, orderly laminar flow, while high Reynolds numbers indicate chaotic, eddy-filled turbulent flow. It is crucial for determining the dynamic behavior of a fluid and for scaling experiments.
