  2. Horsepower - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horsepower

    Brake horsepower (bhp) is the power measured using a brake type (load) dynamometer at a specified location, such as the crankshaft, output shaft of the transmission, rear axle or rear wheels. [ 30 ] In Europe, the DIN 70020 standard tests the engine fitted with all ancillaries and the exhaust system as used in the car.

  3. Per-unit system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Per-unit_system

    In the power systems analysis field of electrical engineering, a per-unit system is the expression of system quantities as fractions of a defined base unit quantity. . Calculations are simplified because quantities expressed as per-unit do not change when they are referred from one side of a transformer to t

  4. Brake horsepower per cubic centimeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_horsepower_per_cubic...

    Brake horsepower per cubic centimeter or (bhp/cc) is a figure of merit that is used to indicate the 'state of tune' of an internal combustion engine. It is defined as the ratio of the engine's net power output to its displacement, the internal size. Power is measured at its rated speed and full throttle.

  5. Prony brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prony_brake

    The term "brake horsepower" is one measurement of power derived from this method of measuring torque. (Power is calculated by multiplying torque by rotational speed.) [1] Essentially the measurement is made by wrapping a cord or belt around the output shaft of the engine and measuring the force transferred to the belt through friction. The ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_abbreviations_in...

    MDSS – measured depth referenced to mean sea level zero datum – "subsea" level; MDT – modular formation dynamic tester, a tool used to get formation pressure in the hole (not borehole pressure which the PWD does). MDT could be run on Wireline or on the Drill Pipe; MDR – mud damage removal (acid bullheading) MEA – monoethanolamine

  7. Level (logarithmic quantity) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_(logarithmic_quantity)

    A field level (or root-power level) is a logarithmic quantity used to measure quantities of which the square is typically proportional to power (for instance, the square of voltage is proportional to power by the inverse of the conductor's resistance), etc., with commonly used units neper (Np) or decibel (dB).

  8. Quasi-peak detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quasi-peak_detector

    A voltage impulse entering a narrow-band receiver produces a short-duration burst oscillating at the receiver centre frequency. The peak detector is a rectifier followed by a low-pass filter to extract a baseband signal consisting of the slowly (relative to the receiver centre frequency) time-varying amplitude of the impulsive oscillation. The ...

  9. Electrical measurements - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_measurements

    High-precision laboratory measurements of electrical quantities are used in experiments to determine fundamental physical properties such as the charge of the electron or the speed of light, and in the definition of the units for electrical measurements, with precision in some cases on the order of a few parts per million. Less precise ...
