	Intensive quantity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		In physics and chemistry, an intensive quantity (also referred to as an intensive variable) is a physical quantity whose value does not depend on the amount of the substance for which it is measured.
		It follows, for example, that the ratio of two extensive quantities is an intensive quantity.
		For instance, density (intensive) is equal to mass (extensive) divided by volume (extensive).

	The world of thermodynamics \|\| The First Law of Thermodynamics
		Early experiments on the variables of state (such as T, P, V, and n) showed that only two of these variables of state need to be known to know the state of a sample of matter.
		Once two variables are known, the state of the matter is known and the values of the other variables can be determined.
		One thing to note is that any extensive variable can be converted to an intensive variable by dividing it by the moles or the mass (like we did with the heat capacity).

	The Euler Equation and the Gibbs-Duhem Equation
		Mass is an extensive variable, density is an intensive variable.
		Intensive functions are homogeneous of degree zero, extensive functions are homogeneous of degree one.
		It shows that three intensive variables are not independent - if we know two of them, the value of the third can be determined from the Gibbs-Duhem equation.

	Using GIS to Evaluate Spatial Variations in Area Source Emissions
		Let V be the variable of interest, S be the source zone, T be the target zone, and A be the area of a zone.
		In the example of deriving population density for the model grid cells, V is the population density variable, Zone S may be a census tract, and Zone T is a grid cell.
		The variable V is extensive if its value for a target zone is equal to the sum of its values for the intersection zone.

	Temperature and Phase Change
		A definition: a variable is "intensive" if doubling the amount of material in a system doesn't necessarily change the variable.
		Now, if you divide two extensive variables into one another you can be sure that you will get an intensive variable.
		So we can see that if we choose 2 intensive variables (say, P and T) the third (Vm) is fixed.

	SOME CONCEPTS IN ENERGETICS
		Six variables are needed for each mass-point, three to specify the position and three for the velocity.
		A characteristic of a system is a variable of state or property only if its value does not depend on the past history of the system, but only on the conditions at the time of measurement.
		Given a certain thermo dynamical state of a homogeneous fluid, defined by any two of the variables of state, we observe that there is an infinite number of states of molecular motion that correspond to it.

		Intensive variable = property of the system that can be changed and is independent of the size of the system, such as temperature, pressure, composition
		These take place at various combinations of temperature and pressure that map out as phase boundaries between the stability fields in a phase diagram.
		The diagrams typically show compostion varying horizontally and temperature varying vertically: vertical lines in such a graph are constant-temperature lines or isopleths, and horizaontal line are constant temperature lines, or isotherms.

	Publication Frequency, Citation Frequency, and Quality of Counselin
		Pairs of experts varied in their judgments about the quality of a given scholar's work, and were generally quite disparaging about the aggregate quality of counseling psychology research.
		An alternative dependent variable, Virtual Worth, was calculated in those instances when three or more judges were employed; to achieve optimal reliability, individual subject scores were calculated as the mean of the two closest ranks assigned by all judges.
		The fourth independent variable, Gender, was not significantly correlated with either dependent variable and was therefore dropped from the analyses.

		As a simple example, if an evacuated container is filled to half its volume with pure water, we would expect the system to reach equilibrium when the temperature, T, becomes constant and uniform throughout the container.
		Our common sense tells us that only this one intensive variable must be uniform throughout the system for the system to be at equilibrium.
		As expected above, only one variable must be constant, T in the example, to determine that the system is at equilibrium.

		However, we set an important criterion for the selection variables of state: State variables are those variables that only depend on state, and not on how the system arrived at that state.
		Those that depend on the size are called extensive variable, e.g., V,H, E; and those which do not, such as T and P, are called as intensive variables.
		An extensive variable can be converted to an intensive variable by appropriate division, e.g.
