  2. Population equivalent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_equivalent

    Population equivalent (PE) or unit per capita loading, or equivalent person (EP), is a parameter for characterizing industrial wastewaters.It essentially compares the polluting potential of an industry (in terms of biodegradable organic matter) with a population (or certain number of people), which would produce the same polluting load.

  3. Octave (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octave_(electronics)

    A frequency ratio expressed in octaves is the base-2 logarithm (binary logarithm) of the ratio: = ⁡ An amplifier or filter may be stated to have a frequency response of ±6 dB per octave over a particular frequency range, which signifies that the power gain changes by ±6 decibels (a factor of 4 in power), when the frequency changes by a factor of 2.

  4. Péclet number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Péclet_number

    In continuum mechanics, the Péclet number (Pe, after Jean Claude Eugène Péclet) is a class of dimensionless numbers relevant in the study of transport phenomena in a continuum. It is defined to be the ratio of the rate of advection of a physical quantity by the flow to the rate of diffusion of the same quantity driven by an appropriate gradient.

  5. Dimensionless numbers in fluid mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensionless_numbers_in...

    Dimensionless numbers (or characteristic numbers) have an important role in analyzing the behavior of fluids and their flow as well as in other transport phenomena. [1] They include the Reynolds and the Mach numbers, which describe as ratios the relative magnitude of fluid and physical system characteristics, such as density, viscosity, speed of sound, and flow speed.

  6. Cumulative frequency analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumulative_frequency_analysis

    Cumulative frequency distribution, adapted cumulative probability distribution, and confidence intervals. Cumulative frequency analysis is the analysis of the frequency of occurrence of values of a phenomenon less than a reference value. The phenomenon may be time- or space-dependent. Cumulative frequency is also called frequency of non-exceedance.

  7. Strouhal number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strouhal_number

    Intuitively the ratio measures the steepness of the strokes, viewed from the side (e.g., assuming movement through a stationary fluid) – f is the stroke frequency, A is the amplitude, so the numerator fA is half the vertical speed of the wing tip, while the denominator V is the horizontal speed. Thus the graph of the wing tip forms an ...

  8. Why Are REIT P/E Ratios So Darn High? - AOL

    This gives us a really good valuation ratio of P/FFO, which is to REITs what P/E ratios are to other stocks. Let's use a table and include many different REITs, their P/E ratios, and their P/FFO ...

  9. Transmissibility (vibration) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmissibility_(vibration)

    Transmissibility is the ratio of output to input. It is defined as the ratio of the force transmitted to the force applied. Transmitted force implies the one which is being transmitted to the foundation or to the body of a particular system. Applied force is the external agent that cause the force to be generated in the first place and be ...
