power engineering That part of electrical engineering that deals with the generation, distribution and consumption of electrical power. power-factor correction Apparatus intended to bring the power factor of some load closer to 1. power factor The ratio of apparent power flowing to a load divided by the real power. power-flow study
Barometer A device for measuring pressure. Battery Electrochemical cells that transform chemical energy into electricity. Base In chemistry, bases are substances that, in aqueous solution, release hydroxide (OH −) ions, are slippery to the touch, can taste bitter if an alkali, [50] change the color of indicators (e.g., turn red litmus paper blue), react with acids to form salts, promote ...
the first has somehow, in some way, been my best year yet. So, as I often say to participants in the workshop, “If a school teacher from Nebraska can do it, so can you!”
Since 2000, there has been speculations of a new technological revolution which would focus on the fields of nanotechnologies, alternative fuel and energy systems, biotechnologies, genetic engineering, new materials technologies and so on. [10] The Second Machine Age is the term adopted in a 2014 book by Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee.
A study of 450 routines found that 50 percent of the highly cohesive routines were fault free compared to only 18 percent of routines with low cohesion. Another study of a different 450 routines found that routines with the highest coupling -to-cohesion ratios had 7 times as many errors as those with the lowest coupling-to-cohesion ratios and ...
The engineering design process, also known as the engineering method, is a common series of steps that engineers use in creating functional products and processes. The process is highly iterative – parts of the process often need to be repeated many times before another can be entered – though the part(s) that get iterated and the number of such cycles in any given project may vary.
Business process re-engineering (BPR) is a business management strategy originally pioneered in the early 1990s, focusing on the analysis and design of workflows and business processes within an organization.
