Potential energy surface — A potential energy surface is generally used within the adiabatic or Born–Oppenheimer approximation in quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics to model chemical reactions and interactions in simple chemical and physical systems. The… … Wikipedia
Energy minimization — (energy optimization) methods are common techniques to compute the equilibrium configuration of molecules. The basic idea is that a stable state of a molecular system should correspond to a local minimum of their potential energy. This kind of… … Wikipedia
Energy condition — In relativistic classical field theories of gravitation, particularly general relativity, an energy condition is one of various alternative conditions which can be applied to the matter content of the theory, when it is either not possible or… … Wikipedia
Tautochrone curve — 300px|right|thumb|Four points run over a cycloid from different positions, but theyarrive at the bottom at the same time. The blue arrows show the points acceleration. On the top is the time position diagram.A tautochrone or isochrone curve is… … Wikipedia
Cooling curve — A cooling curve of naphthalene from liquid to solid. A cooling curve is a line graph that represents the change of phase of matter, typically from a gas to a solid or a liquid to a solid. The independent variable (X axis) is time and the… … Wikipedia
Wireless energy transfer — or wireless power is the transmission of electrical energy from a power source to an electrical load without artificial interconnecting conductors. Wireless transmission is useful in cases where interconnecting wires are inconvenient, hazardous,… … Wikipedia
Learning curve — The term learning curve refers to the graphical relation between the amount of learning and the time it takes to learn. Initially introduced in educational and behavioral psychology, the term has acquired a broader interpretation over time, and… … Wikipedia
