  2. Cost of electricity by source - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_of_electricity_by_source

    The levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) is a metric that attempts to compare the costs of different methods of electricity generation consistently. Though LCOE is often presented as the minimum constant price at which electricity must be sold to break even over the lifetime of the project, such a cost analysis requires assumptions about the value of various non-financial costs (environmental ...

  3. Cost driver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_driver

    John Shank and Vijay Govindarajan divide cost drivers into two categories: [2] Structural cost drivers that are derived from the business strategic choices about its underlying economic structure such as scale and scope of operations, complexity of products, use of technology, etc., and executional cost drivers that are derived from the ...

  4. Line-of-sight propagation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line-of-sight_propagation

    Line of sight (LoS) propagation from an antenna. Line-of-sight propagation is a characteristic of electromagnetic radiation or acoustic wave propagation which means waves can only travel in a direct visual path from the source to the receiver without obstacles. [1]

    Its cargo capacity will be between 100 and 150 tonnes (220,000 and 330,000 lb), is estimated to have an R&D cost of $10 billion, [17] and production cost of about $200-million for Starship crew, $130-million for Starship tanker and $230-million for Super Heavy. The system has a less than $140/kg price tag which is possibly as low as $47/kg.

  6. Space launch market competition - Wikipedia

    ULA has not "put a firm price tag on [the total cost of Vulcan development but ULA CEO Tory Bruno has] said new rockets typically cost $2 billion, including $1 billion for the main engine". [56] ULA had asked the US government in 2016 to provide a minimum of US$1.2 billion by 2020 to assist it in developing the new US launch vehicle. [ 56 ]

  7. Density (computer storage) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density_(computer_storage)

    As the density increases, the number of platters can be reduced, leading to lower costs. Hard drives are often measured in terms of cost per bit. For example, the first commercial hard drive, IBM's RAMAC in 1957, supplied 3.75 MB for $34,500, or $9,200 per megabyte. In 1989, a 40 MB hard drive cost $1200, or $30/MB.

  8. Surface power density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_power_density

    E = the RMS electric field strength in volts per meter, H = the RMS magnetic field strength in amperes per meter. [6] The above equation yields units of W/m 2. In the USA the units of mW/cm 2, are more often used when making surveys. One mW/cm 2 is the same power density as 10 W/m 2. The following equation can be used to obtain these units ...

  9. Marginal cost - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marginal_cost

    For instance, suppose the total cost of making 1 shoe is $30 and the total cost of making 2 shoes is $40. The marginal cost of producing shoes decreases from $30 to $10 with the production of the second shoe ($40 – $30 = $10). In another example, when a fixed cost is associated, the marginal cost can be calculated as presented in the table below.
