Examples [ edit ] If a pilot is flying a leg of 120 miles and finds after traveling 60 miles that he is two miles to the right of track, then a correction of 4° to the left (2° to fly parallel to the intended track and another 2° to bring him to his target) will bring him to his destination.
The saddlepoint approximation method, initially proposed by Daniels (1954) is a specific example of the mathematical saddlepoint technique applied to statistics.It provides a highly accurate approximation formula for any PDF or probability mass function of a distribution, based on the moment generating function.
A rotameter is a device that measures the volumetric flow rate of fluid in a closed tube. [ 1 ] It belongs to a class of meters called variable-area flowmeters , which measure flow rate by allowing the cross-sectional area the fluid travels through to vary, causing a measurable effect.
An LVDT (Linear Variable Differential Transformer) Variable Area Rotameter, is a meter designed to measure the flow rate of a fluid or gas. [ citation needed ] Mechanism
A Thorpe tube flowmeter, a type of variable-area flowmeter, or a rotameter, is an instrument used to directly measure the flow rate of a gas in medical instruments. It consists of a connection to a gas source, a needle valve opened and closed by turning an attached dial for control of flow rate, a float resting in a clear tapered tube, and an ...
From November 2010 to December 2012, if you bought shares in companies when Charles E. McMahen joined the board, and sold them when he left, you would have a 17.0 percent return on your investment, compared to a 20.4 percent return from the S&P 500.
The respective tables of data were generally developed by using the more complex transfer function method to determine the various cooling loads for different types of heating. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The results gained by doing so are then normalized for each type of heat gain used for the tables, CLTD, CLF, and SCL.
From September 2011 to December 2012, if you bought shares in companies when William J. DeLaney joined the board, and sold them when he left, you would have a 16.3 percent return on your investment, compared to a 18.4 percent return from the S&P 500.
