81Gas centrifuge — Diagram of a gas centrifuge. A gas centrifuge is a device that performs isotope separation of gases. A centrifuge relies on the principles of centripetal force accelerating molecules so that particles of different masses are physically separated… …
82Crystal twinning — Diagram of twinned crystals of Albite. On the more perfect cleavage, which is parallel to the basal plane (P), is a system of fine striations, parallel to the second cleavage (M). Crystal twinning occurs when two separate crystals share some of… …
83de Laval nozzle — Diagram of a de Laval nozzle, showing approximate flow velocity (v), together with the effect on temperature (t) and pressure (p) A de Laval nozzle (or convergent divergent nozzle, CD nozzle or con di nozzle) is a tube that is pinched in the… …
84Atomic radius — Diagram of a helium atom, showing the electron probability density as shades of gray. The atomic radius of a chemical element is a measure of the size of its atoms, usually the mean or typical distance from the nucleus to the boundary of the… …
85Directivity — Diagram showing directivity In electromagnetics, directivity is a figure of merit for an antenna. It measures the power density the antenna radiates in the direction of its strongest emission, versus the power density radiated by an ideal… …
86Intermediate polar — Diagram of an intermediate polar. Matter flows from the companion star into an accretion disk around the white dwarf, but is disrupted by the white dwarf s magnetic field. An Intermediate Polar (also DQ Herculis Star) is a type of cataclysmic… …
