Technical physics - Basic concepts
Let's consider the following formula

image.png

Where:
U = internal energy
T = temperature
S = entropy
p = pressure
V = volume
From this mathematical expression we can deduce two rather important things:
1- that the product between the extensive size and the intensive size, dimensionally, is equal to an energy.
2- each intensive quantity corresponds to its extensive quantity. In fact, at T
S corresponds, V corresponds to p.

We remember that:
T = temperature and is an intensive quantity
p = pressure and is an intensive quantity
S = entropy and is an extensive quantity
V = volume and is an extensive quantity

NOTE:
Intensive quantities in physics are quantities that do not depend on the size of the sample.
Extensive quantities in physics are quantities that instead depend on the size of the sample.

Adimensionalization
Dimensionlessness is a mathematical process used to simplify the study of something relatively complex.
In fact, when we try to study the phenomena relating to conduction, the number of dimensional variables is considerable and therefore the situation appears complex.
In these cases we can make use of the mathematical process called dimensionality which simplifies the mathematical aspect and also the presentation of the results.
It should be noted that in addition to the combination of some variables, when possible, the value of some constants is made unitary.
This process groups the variables thus decreasing the number of independent ones.
To try to explain this process we can take as an example a plate with the following properties ρc = const, K = const.
Below is a graphic example.

The energy balance is as follows.

Taking into account the boundary conditions the situation appears to be the following:

Considering that the second derivative with respect to x of T is zero we have the following mathematical formula:

image.png

Now let's try to represent the mathematical formula described above dimensionally

Conclusions
Dimensionlessization is a mathematical process used to group variables by decreasing the number of independent variables. This will result in simplified calculations.

Request
I understand the theory, but if I were to try something practical I wouldn't be able to make a dimensionless.
Have you ever tried to apply dimensionlessness to some complex formula?



03-02-2024 - Fisica - Adimensionalizzazione [EN]-[IT]

Fisica tecnica - Concetti base
Prendiamo in considerazione la seguente formula

image.png

Dove:
U = energia interna
T = temperatura
S = entropia
p = pressione
V = volume
Da questa espressione matematica possiamo dedurre due cose piuttosto importanti:
1- che il prodotto tra la grandezza estensiva e quella intensiva, dimensionalmente, è uguale ad un energia.
2- ad ogni grandezza intensiva corrisponde una sua grandezza estensiva. Infatti, a T
corrisponde S , a p corrisponde V.

Ricordiamo che:
T = temperatura ed è una grandezza intensiva
p = pressione ed è una grandezza intensiva
S = entropia ed è una grandezza estensiva
V = volume ed è una grandezza estensiva

NOTA:
Le grandezze intensive in fisica sono le grandezze che non dipendono dalla grandezza del campione.
Le grandezze estensive in fisica sono le grandezze che invece dipendono dalle dimensioni del campione.

Adimensionalizzazione
L’adimensionalissazione è un processo matematico usato per semplificare lo studio di qualcosa relativamente complesso.
Infatti quando cerchiamo di studiare i fenomeni relativi alla conduzione il numero delle variabili dimensionali è notevole e quindi la situazione si presenta come complessa.
In questi casi possiamo avvalerci del processo matematico chiamato adimensionalizzazione che semplifica l’aspetto matematico e anche la presentazione dei risultati.
Si precisa che oltre alla combinazione di alcune variabili, quando è possibile, si rende unitario il valore di alcune costanti.
Questo processo raggruppa le variabili diminuendo così il numero di quelle indipendenti.
Per tentare di spiegare questo processo possiamo prendere come esempio una piastra con le seguenti proprietà ρc = cost, K = cost.
Qui si seguito un esempio grafico.

image.png

Il bilancio dell’energia è il seguente.

image.png

Tenendo conto delle condizioni al contorno la situazione risulta essere la seguente:

image.png

Considerando che la derivata seconda rispetto a x di T è nulla abbiamo la seguente formula matematica:

image.png

Ora proviamo a rappresentare adimensionalmente la formula matematica sopra descritta

image.png

Conclusioni
L’adimensionalizzazione è un processo matematico usato per raggruppare le variabili diminuendo il numero delle variabili indipendenti. Si otterranno così dei calcoli semplificati.

Domanda
Io comprendo la teoria, ma se dovessi provare qualcosa di pratico non riuscirei a fare una adimensionalizzazione.
Avete mai provato ad applicare l'adimensionalizzazione a qualche formula complessa?

THE END

That's an interesting lesson. One interesting word I picked up is dimensionlesness, used to simply the study of something complex, I wonder if it is also applied to geometric shapes in mathematics. Thanks for the lesson and have a great weekend.

We start from the concept that the purpose of dimensionality is to simplify an equation in n variables and m dimensions into an equation with (n-m) dimensionless variables. The independent variables are essentially decreased. I believe that it exists both in mathematics and in physics, or rather especially in mathematics because from what I know, dimensionality is precisely a mathematical simplification. I couldn't tell you if it is also applied in the field of geometry, personally I would answer no

This formula is crazy, lol
Thanks for the class though but it was a tough one for me

Hi @rafzat , thanks for your support. The main concept of this article is what is meant by dimensionlessness. Even if we can't quite understand how it's done, we now know what addimensionalization is, that is, a mathematical simplification in which variables are grouped with the aim of decreasing the independent variables. By applying dimensionlessness we can make complex formulas more readable and shorter

I guess I will really need to read this again and again because it is looking quite difficult

I confirm that this is a difficult topic for me too. The only thing to remember is the following, that is, what is meant by dimensionlessness. Dimensionlessization is a mathematical simplification in which variables are grouped with the aim of decreasing the independent variables. Finished. Being able to make dimensionless is not easy for me.

Sometimes I strongly believe the calculations in physics is more easy to understand much more than mathematics

Thanks for your input, I'm glad that for you doing calculations in physics is easier than in mathematics. I also agree with this, perhaps because both you and I are stimulated more by physics than by mathematics, but personally I think that physics without mathematics would not exist.

Non l'ho applicato, mi concentro sul marketing, è un argomento che mi piace, ma vedo che gestisci molto bene questi argomenti

Perché non provi ad usare questi argomenti quando fai marketing? Io dico che per farti smettere di parlare di adimensionalizzazione i tuoi clienti saranno disposti a comprarti qualsiasi cosa pur di farti smettere, hihihi.
