  2. Turnover number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turnover_number

    In chemistry, the term "turnover number" has two distinct meanings.. In enzymology, the turnover number (k cat) is defined as the limiting number of chemical conversions of substrate molecules per second that a single active site will execute for a given enzyme concentration [E T] for enzymes with two or more active sites. [1]

  3. Indicated airspeed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indicated_airspeed

    For navigation, it is necessary to convert IAS to TAS and/or ground speed (GS) using the following method: correct IAS to calibrated airspeed (CAS) using an aircraft-specific correction table; correct CAS to true airspeed (TAS) by using Outside Air Temperature (OAT) , Pressure-altitude and CAS on an E6B flight computer or equivalent ...

  4. List of conversion factors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_conversion_factors

    Avoirdupois is a system of mass based on a pound of 16 ounces, while Troy weight is the system of mass where 12 troy ounces equals one troy pound. The symbol g 0 is used to denote standard gravity in order to avoid confusion with the (upright) g symbol for gram.

  5. Compressor characteristic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor_characteristic

    Compressor characteristic is a mathematical curve that shows the behaviour of a fluid going through a dynamic compressor. It shows changes in fluid pressure , temperature , entropy , flow rate etc.) with the compressor operating at different speeds.

  6. Air compressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_compressor

    Air compressor supplies air into a nail gun.. An air compressor is a machine that takes ambient air from the surroundings and discharges it at a higher pressure. It is an application of a gas compressor and a pneumatic device that converts mechanical power (from an electric motor, diesel or gasoline engine, etc.) into potential energy stored in compressed air, which has many uses.

  7. Hydraulic compressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_compressor

    A hydraulic compressor is a means of compressing air using hydraulic energy. There are two very different types of machines referred to as hydraulic compressors. One type is a mechanical air compressor that is driven by a hydraulic motor. It is a method of converting hydraulic power to pneumatic power. [1]

  8. Equivalent airspeed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalent_airspeed

    In aviation, equivalent airspeed (EAS) is calibrated airspeed (CAS) corrected for the compressibility of air at a non-trivial Mach number. It is also the airspeed at sea level in the International Standard Atmosphere at which the dynamic pressure is the same as the dynamic pressure at the true airspeed (TAS) and altitude at which the aircraft ...

  9. Kaeser Compressors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaeser_Compressors

    Kaeser’s design philosophy remains to develop larger, slower running air-ends. Air-ends turning at slower speeds deliver more compressed air for the same drive power (up to 20% more efficient than conventional screw designs). Oil flooding at the point of compression provides cleaning, lubrication and cooling, which contributes to air-end ...
