What is the proximate analysis of coal?
What is the proximate analysis of coal? Summary. The proximate analysis of coal separates the products into four groups: (1) moisture, (2) volatile matter, consisting of gases and vapors driven off during pyrolysis, (3) fixed carbon, the nonvolatile fraction of coal, and (4) ash, the inorganic residue remaining after combustion. What are the parameters of […]

How do you determine if a set is Orthonormal?
How do you determine if a set is Orthonormal? Definition. A set of vectors S is orthonormal if every vector in S has magnitude 1 and the set of vectors are mutually orthogonal. The set of vectors { u1, u2, u3} is orthonormal. Proposition An orthogonal set of non-zero vectors is linearly independent. What is […]
