Kinetic Theory Of Gases
The kinetic theory of gases is a simple classical model of the thermodynamic behavior of gases. Its introduction allowed many principal concepts of thermodynamics to be established. It treats a gas as composed of numerous particles, too small to be seen with a microscope, in constant, random motion. These particles are now known to be the atoms or molecules of the gas. The kinetic theory of gases uses their collisions with each other and with the walls of their container to explain the relationship between the macroscopic properties of gases, such as volume, pressure, and temperature, as well as transport properties such as viscosity, thermal conductivity and mass diffusivity. The basic version of the model describes an ideal gas. It treats the collisions as perfectly elastic and as the only interaction between the particles, which are additionally assumed to be much smaller than their average distance apart. Due to the time reversibility of microscopic dynamics ( microsco ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Automatic Quartz
Automatic quartz is a collective term describing watch Movement (clockwork), movements that combine a self-winding rotor mechanism (as used in Automatic watch, automatic mechanical watches) to generate electricity with a Piezoelectricity, piezoelectric Crystal oscillator, quartz crystal as its timing element. Such movements aim to provide the advantages of quartz without the inconvenience and environmental impact of batteries. Several manufacturers employ this technique. Mode of operation A rotating pendulum inside the case is attached to a relatively large gear which meshes with a very small pinion. As the wearer moves, the pendulum turns and spins the pinion at a very high speed - up to 100,000 Revolutions per minute, rpm. This is coupled to a miniature electrical generator which charges a storage device which is a capacitor(s) or a rechargeable Button cell, battery. A typical full charge will last between two weeks and six months. Applications Seiko Japanese company Seiko ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Kinetic Military Action
Kinetic warfare is a term for military combat or other forms of directly-destructive warfare, to contrast "soft" force such as diplomacy, lawfare, sanctions, cyberwarfare, psychological warfare, information warfare, or other types of warfare. The term emerged as military jargon before it became used in wider circles at the turn of the millennium. "Kinetic military action" was used by White House aide Ben Rhodes on March 23, 2011 to describe U.S. military action in Libya: In 2019, U.S. Department of Defense used "kinetic operations" on a webpage about Operation Inherent Resolve. It contained an interactive graphic titled "AIRSTRIKES IN IRAQ AND SYRIA" and captioned "... operations related to ISIL since kinetic operations started on Aug. 8, 2014 ...". On February 11, 2015, President Obama wrote in a letter to Congress that he wanted Congress to "authorize the use of U.S. forces ISIL">gainst_ISIL<_a>.html" ;"title="ISIL.html" ;"title="gainst ISIL">gainst ISIL" ...

Kinetic Projectile
A kinetic energy weapon (also known as kinetic weapon, kinetic energy warhead, kinetic warhead, kinetic projectile, kinetic kill vehicle) is a projectile weapon based solely on a projectile's kinetic energy to inflict damage to a target, instead of using any explosive, incendiary, chemical or radiological payload. All kinetic weapons work by attaining a high flight speedgenerally supersonic or even up to hypervelocityand collide with their targets, converting their kinetic energy and relative impulse into destructive shock waves, heat and cavitation. In kinetic weapons with unpowered flight, the muzzle velocity or launch velocity often determines the effective range and potential damage of the kinetic projectile. Kinetic weapons are the oldest and most common ranged weapons used in human history, with the projectiles varying from blunt projectiles such as rocks and round shots, pointed missiles such as arrows, bolts, darts, and javelins, to modern tapered high-ve ...

Birt Acres
Birt Acres (23 July 1854 – 27 December 1918) was an American and British photographer and film pioneer. Among his contributions to the early film industry are the first working 35 mm camera in Britain (Wales), and ''Birtac'', the first daylight loading home movie camera and projector. He also directed a number of early silent films. Early life Born in Richmond, Virginia, on 23 July 1854, to English parents. He became an orphan at the age of 14, during the American Civil War and was raised by an aunt. Career Acres invented the first British 35 mm moving picture camera, ''Birtac'' which was the first daylight loading home movie camera and projector; he was also the first travelling newsreel reporter in international film history and the first European film maker who had his films shown in the United States in public performances. He contributed much to the introduction and development of cinematography in all its aspects, from the construction of cameras, projectors, ...

Kinetic Group
Kinetic Group (stylised as K''I''NET''I''C; formerly known as AATS Group) is an Australian-based multinational bus company that wholly owns a number of bus operations in Australia and New Zealand, including the SkyBus business, which operates bus services to a number of airports in both countries. Through its 51%-owned subsidiary Go-Ahead Group based in the United Kingdom, Kinetic also operates buses and railway services in the United Kingdom, Singapore, Germany, Ireland and Norway, and the U-Go Mobility joint venture in Sydney. Kinetic is majority owned by Canadian pension fund OPTrust and British infrastructure manager Foresight Group (who acquired Kinetic's previous co-owner Infrastructure Capital Group in 2022).
