52Proximity effect (audio) — The proximity effect in audio refers to a change in the frequency response of a directional microphone as the sound source is brought close to the microphone. The result of the change is a disproportionate increase in the bass response of the… …
53Kirkendall effect — The Kirkendall effect is the migration of markers that occurs when markers are placed at the interface between an alloy and a metal, and the whole is heated to a temperature where diffusion is possible; the markers will move towards the alloy… …
54Venturi effect — The Venturi effect is the fluid pressure that results when an incompressible fluid flows through a constricted section of pipe. The Venturi effect may be derived from a combination of Bernoulli s principle and the equation of continuity. The… …
55Proximity effect (electromagnetism) — In a conductor carrying current, if currents are flowing through one or more other nearby conductors, such as within a closely wound coil of wire, the distribution of current within the first conductor will be constrained to smaller regions. The… …
56Common-ion effect — The common ion effect is an effect which results when two substances, which both ionize to give the same (common) ion, are involved in a chemical equilibrium. Contents 1 Solubility effects 2 Buffering effect 3 Exceptions 4 …
57Gough-Joule effect — The Gough Joule effect (aka Gow Joule effect) is the tendency of elastomers to contract when heated if they are under tension. Elastomers that are not under tension do not see this effect. The effect is important in o ring seal design, where the… …
58Misznay-Schardin effect — The Misznay Schardin effect, or platter effect, is a characteristic of the detonation of a broad sheet of explosive. The explosive blast expands directly away from (perpendicular to) the surface of an explosive. Unlike the blast from a rounded… …
