  2. Energy conversion efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_conversion_efficiency

    Energy conversion efficiency (η) is the ratio between the useful output of an energy conversion machine and the input, in energy terms. The input, as well as the useful output may be chemical , electric power , mechanical work , light (radiation), or heat .

  3. Process capability index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_capability_index

    The process capability index, or process capability ratio, is a statistical measure of process capability: the ability of an engineering process to produce an output within specification limits. [1] The concept of process capability only holds meaning for processes that are in a state of statistical control. This means it cannot account for ...

  4. Process performance index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_performance_index

    Consider a quality characteristic with a target of 100.00 μm and upper and lower specification limits of 106.00 μm and 94.00 μm, respectively. If, after carefully monitoring the process for a while, it appears that the process is out of control and producing output unpredictably (as depicted in the run chart below), one can't meaningfully estimate its mean and standard deviation.

  5. Thermal efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_efficiency

    The efficiency of the Diesel cycle is dependent on r and γ like the Otto cycle, and also by the cutoff ratio, r c, which is the ratio of the cylinder volume at the beginning and end of the combustion process: [4] = () The Diesel cycle is less efficient than the Otto cycle when using the same compression ratio.

  6. Signal-to-noise ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal-to-noise_ratio

    Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR or S/N) is a measure used in science and engineering that compares the level of a desired signal to the level of background noise. SNR is defined as the ratio of signal power to noise power, often expressed in decibels. A ratio higher than 1:1 (greater than 0 dB) indicates more signal than noise.

  7. Likelihood function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Likelihood_function

    The likelihood ratio is central to likelihoodist statistics: the law of likelihood states that the degree to which data (considered as evidence) supports one parameter value versus another is measured by the likelihood ratio. In frequentist inference, the likelihood ratio is the basis for a test statistic, the so-called likelihood-ratio test.

  8. First-pass yield - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-pass_yield

    You have a process that is divided into four sub-processes: A, B, C and D. Assume that you have 100 units entering process A. To calculate first time yield (FTY) you would: Calculate the yield (number out of step/number into step) of each step.

  9. Process window index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_Window_Index

    Process window index (PWI) is a statistical measure that quantifies the robustness of a manufacturing process, e.g. one which involves heating and cooling, known as a thermal process. In manufacturing industry, PWI values are used to calibrate the heating and cooling of soldering jobs (known as a thermal profile) while baked in a reflow oven .
