  2. Compressor characteristic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor_characteristic

    In compressor maximum volume flow rate is limited by cross-section at the inlet. This condition can be seen in the right side of the Figure 5. in which constant speed lines descends steeply. The point on constant speed line at which choking occurs is known as choke point or stonewall point. [16]

  3. Fine-structure constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fine-structure_constant

    The ratio of the velocity of the electron in the first circular orbit of the Bohr model of the atom, which is ⁠ 1 / 4πε 0 ⁠ ⁠ e 2 / ħ ⁠, to the speed of light in vacuum, c. [17] This is Sommerfeld 's original physical interpretation.

  4. Speed of light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_Light

    The speed at which light propagates through transparent materials, such as glass or air, is less than c; similarly, the speed of electromagnetic waves in wire cables is slower than c. The ratio between c and the speed v at which light travels in a material is called the refractive index n of the material (n = ⁠ c / v ⁠).

  5. Gear train - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gear_train

    The gear ratio of the pitch circles of mating gears defines the speed ratio and the mechanical advantage of the gear set. A planetary gear train provides high gear reduction in a compact package. It is possible to design gear teeth for gears that are non-circular, yet still transmit torque smoothly.

  6. Motor constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_constants

    The rating of a brushless motor is the ratio of the motor's unloaded rotational speed (measured in RPM) to the peak (not RMS) voltage on the wires connected to the coils (the back EMF). For example, an unloaded motor of K v {\displaystyle K_{\text{v}}} = 5,700 rpm/V supplied with 11.1 V will run at a nominal speed of 63,270 rpm (= 5,700 rpm/V ...

  7. Mechanical advantage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_advantage

    The ideal mechanical advantage is the ratio of the force out of the machine (load) to the force into the machine (effort), or =. Applying the constant power relationship yields a formula for this ideal mechanical advantage in terms of the speed ratio:

  8. Velocity factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity_factor

    The velocity factor (VF), [1] also called wave propagation speed or velocity of propagation (VoP or ), [2] of a transmission medium is the ratio of the speed at which a wavefront (of an electromagnetic signal, a radio signal, a light pulse in an optical fibre or a change of the electrical voltage on a copper wire) passes through the medium, to the speed of light in vacuum.

  9. Constant speed drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant_Speed_Drive

    Constant speed drive for Boeing 727, made by Sundstrand Corporation. A constant speed drive (CSD) also known as a constant speed generator, is a type of transmission that takes an input shaft rotating at a wide range of speeds, delivering this power to an output shaft that rotates at a constant speed, despite the varying input.
