  2. Continuous-repayment mortgage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous-repayment_mortgage

    Define the "reverse time" variable z = T − t.(t = 0, z = T and t = T, z = 0).Then: Plotted on a time axis normalized to system time constant (τ = 1/r years and τ = RC seconds respectively) the mortgage balance function in a CRM (green) is a mirror image of the step response curve for an RC circuit (blue).The vertical axis is normalized to system asymptote i.e. perpetuity value M a /r for ...

  3. Photovoltaic thermal hybrid solar collector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaic_thermal...

    Improved PV cell lifetimes are another benefit of lower operation temperatures. This is an effective method to maximize total system efficiency and reliability, but causes the thermal component to under-perform as compared to that achievable with a pure solar thermal collector.

  4. Time value of money - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_value_of_money

    The present value formula is the core formula for the time value of money; each of the other formulas is derived from this formula. For example, the annuity formula is the sum of a series of present value calculations. The present value (PV) formula has four variables, each of which can be solved for by numerical methods:

  5. Thermal equation of state of solids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_equation_of_state...

    In physics, the thermal equation of state is a mathematical expression of pressure P, temperature T, and, volume V.The thermal equation of state for ideal gases is the ideal gas law, expressed as PV=nRT (where R is the gas constant and n the amount of substance), while the thermal equation of state for solids is expressed as:

  6. Nominal power (photovoltaic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nominal_power_(photovoltaic)

    The nominal power of PV devices is measured under standard test conditions (STC), specified in standards such as IEC 61215, IEC 61646 and UL 1703. Specifically, the light intensity is 1000 W/m 2, with a spectrum similar to sunlight hitting the Earth's surface at latitude 35°N in the summer (airmass 1.5), the temperature of the cells being 25 °C.

  7. Present value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Present_value

    The present value of a perpetuity can be calculated by taking the limit of the above formula as n approaches infinity. =. Formula (2) can also be found by subtracting from (1) the present value of a perpetuity delayed n periods, or directly by summing the present value of the payments

  8. Photomultiplier tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photomultiplier_Tube

    Fig. 2: Typical photomultiplier voltage divider circuit using negative high voltage. Photomultipliers are typically constructed with an evacuated glass housing (using an extremely tight and durable glass-to-metal seal like other vacuum tubes ), containing a photocathode , several dynodes , and an anode .

  9. Program-specific information - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Program-specific_information

    For each program, there is one PMT. While the MPEG-2 standard permits more than one PMT section to be transmitted on a single PID (Single Transport stream PID contains PMT information of more than one program), most MPEG-2 "users" such as ATSC and SCTE require each PMT to be transmitted on a separate PID that is not used for any other packets.
