Potential Alcohol from Brix
Estimate the potential alcohol of a must (wine, beer, kombucha) from the sugar content in degrees Brix, %ABV ≈ Brix · 0.55, assuming complete fermentation of the sugars. Brix measures the soluble solids (mostly sugar) of the must; fermentation converts that sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide. It is a quick estimate used by winemakers and brewers to predict the final strength. Enter the content in degrees Brix.

Grau alcoólico por Brix
Antes de fermentar um mosto — seja de uva (vinho), de malte (cerveja), de chá açucarado (kombucha) ou de qualquer fruta —, o produtor quer saber: que graduação alcoólica isso vai dar? A pista está no açúcar, medido em graus Brix (1 °Brix ≈ 1% de sólidos solúveis, majoritariamente açúcar, medido por refratômetro ou densímetro). A fermentação converte esse açúcar em etanol e CO₂ pela ação das leveduras, e uma estimativa prática e rápida é %ABV ≈ Brix · 0,55. Assim, um mosto de 20 °Brix renderia ~11% de álcool se fermentar até secar (todo o açúcar consumido). O fator 0,55 é empírico e aproximado — a conversão real depende da eficiência da levedura, da temperatura, da presença de açúcares não fermentescíveis e do açúcar residual deixado (vinhos doces e cervejas encorpadas param a fermentação antes do fim). Enólogos e cervejeiros usam medidas de Brix (ou densidade) antes e depois para calcular o álcool de fato produzido pela queda de açúcar. Informe o teor em °Brix.

Vitrification Degree (Ceramic)
Estimate the vitrification degree of a ceramic, VD = (1 − WA/WA_green)·100%, comparing the current water absorption with that of the green (non-vitrified) material, as a measure of how much the glassy phase filled the pores during firing. Vitrification — the formation of molten glass that seals the pores — densifies the piece, lowers absorption and raises strength and impermeability. It is what turns porous clay into vitreous porcelain. Enter the current and green water absorptions.
Equivalent Stiffness (Springs in Series)
Calculate the equivalent stiffness of two springs in series, 1 ÷ k_eq = 1/k₁ + 1/k₂, from the individual stiffnesses k₁ and k₂. The result, in the same unit (N/m), is always smaller than the smallest stiffness — springs in series are more flexible, since each deforms under the same force and the displacements add. It is the fundamental calculation to reduce suspension systems, isolators and structures with elastic elements in sequence to a single-degree-of-freedom model, the basis for finding the natural frequency. Enter the two stiffnesses.
