  2. Rankine scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rankine_scale

    The Rankine scale is used in engineering systems where heat computations are done using degrees Fahrenheit. [3] The symbol for degrees Rankine is °R [2] (or °Ra if necessary to distinguish it from the Rømer and Réaumur scales). By analogy with the SI unit kelvin, some authors term the unit Rankine, omitting the degree symbol. [4] [5]

  3. Q10 (temperature coefficient) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q10_(temperature_coefficient)

    A plot illustrating the dependence on temperature of the rates of chemical reactions and various biological processes, for several different Q 10 temperature coefficients. . The rate ratio at a temperature increase of 10 degrees (marked by points) is equal to the Q 10 coefficie

  4. Root locus analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_locus_analysis

    Lines of constant damping ratio can be drawn radially from the origin and lines of constant natural frequency can be drawn as arccosine whose center points coincide with the origin. By selecting a point along the root locus that coincides with a desired damping ratio and natural frequency, a gain K can be calculated and implemented in the ...

  5. Kelvin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelvin

    The difference of temperatures between the freezing- and boiling-points of water under standard atmospheric pressure shall be called 100 degrees. (The same increment as the Celsius scale) Thomson's best estimates at the time were that the temperature of freezing water was 273.7 K and the temperature of boiling water was 373.7 K. [ 33 ]

  6. Linear interpolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_interpolation

    Given the two red points, the blue line is the linear interpolant between the points, and the value y at x may be found by linear interpolation. In mathematics, linear interpolation is a method of curve fitting using linear polynomials to construct new data points within the range of a discrete set of known data points.

  7. Archimedean spiral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedean_spiral

    In contrast to this, in a logarithmic spiral these distances, as well as the distances of the intersection points measured from the origin, form a geometric progression. The Archimedean spiral has two arms, one for θ > 0 and one for θ < 0. The two arms are smoothly connected at the origin. Only one arm is shown on the accompanying graph.

  8. Curvature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curvature

    is equal to one. This parametrization gives the same value for the curvature, as it amounts to division by r 3 in both the numerator and the denominator in the preceding formula. The same circle can also be defined by the implicit equation F(x, y) = 0 with F(x, y) = x 2 + y 2r 2. Then, the formula for the curvature in this case gives

  9. Arrhenius plot - Wikipedia
