  2. Torque converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque_converter

    As with a basic fluid coupling the theoretical torque capacity of a converter is proportional to , where is the mass density of the fluid (kg/m 3), is the impeller speed , and is the diameter . [3]

  3. Instructions per second - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instructions_per_second

    Before standard benchmarks were available, average speed rating of computers was based on calculations for a mix of instructions with the results given in kilo instructions per second (kIPS). The most famous was the Gibson Mix, [2] produced by Jack Clark Gibson of IBM for scientific applications in 1959. Other ratings, such as the ADP mix which ...

  4. Speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed

    Different from instantaneous speed, average speed is defined as the total distance covered divided by the time interval. For example, if a distance of 80 kilometres is driven in 1 hour, the average speed is 80 kilometres per hour. Likewise, if 320 kilometres are travelled in 4 hours, the average speed is also 80 kilometres per hour.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knot_(unit)

    The knot (/ n ɒ t /) is a unit of speed equal to one nautical mile per hour, exactly 1.852 km/h (approximately 1.151 mph or 0.514 m/s). [1] [2] The ISO standard symbol for the knot is kn. [3]

  7. Root mean square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_mean_square

    In the physics of gas molecules, the root-mean-square speed is defined as the square root of the average squared-speed. The RMS speed of an ideal gas is calculated using the following equation: v RMS = 3 R T M {\displaystyle v_{\text{RMS}}={\sqrt {3RT \over M}}}

  8. Mean piston speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_piston_speed

    The mean piston speed is the average speed of the piston in a reciprocating engine. It is a function of stroke and RPM. There is a factor of 2 in the equation to account for one stroke to occur in 1/2 of a crank revolution (or alternatively: two strokes per one crank revolution) and a '60' to convert seconds from minutes in the RPM term.

  9. Data-rate units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data-rate_units

    The ISQ symbols for the bit and byte are bit and B, respectively.In the context of data-rate units, one byte consists of 8 bits, and is synonymous with the unit octet.The abbreviation bps is often used to mean bit/s, so that when a 1 Mbps connection is advertised, it usually means that the maximum achievable bandwidth is 1 Mbit/s (one million bits per second), which is 0.125 MB/s (megabyte per ...
