  2. Shock tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_tube

    These ranged in diameter from 0.6 to 2 m and in length from 3 m to 15 m. The tubes themselves were constructed of low-cost materials and produced shock waves with peak dynamic pressures of 7 MPa to 200 MPa and durations of a few hundred microseconds to several milliseconds.

  3. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incremental_cost...

    Research by the University of York identified that the cost per quality adjusted life year for changes in existing NHS expenditure in 2008 was £12,936 leading to concerns new treatments approved by NICE at £30,000 per quality adjusted life year are less cost-effective than spend on existing treatments.

  4. Sonoco - Wikipedia

    Sonoco is the world's largest producer of tubes, cores, and fiber concrete columns under the brand name Sonotube concrete forms [5] and a leading manufacturer of blow-molded plastic containers, consumer and industrial thermoformed plastic packaging, engineered molded and extruded plastic products, rigid paperboard containers, and convenience closures.

  5. Law of increasing costs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_increasing_costs

    If all the resources of the economy are put into producing only oranges, there will not be any factors of production available to produce cars. So the result is an output of X number of oranges but 0 cars. The reverse is also true - if all the factors of production are used for the production of cars, 0 oranges will be produced.

  6. Failure rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failure_rate

    The mean time between failures (MTBF, /) is often reported instead of the failure rate, as numbers such as "2,000 hours" are more intuitive than numbers such as "0.0005 per hour". However, this is only valid if the failure rate λ ( t ) {\displaystyle \lambda (t)} is actually constant over time, such as within the flat region of the bathtub curve.

  7. Reaction rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_rate

    Iron rusting has a low reaction rate. This process is slow. Wood combustion has a high reaction rate. This process is fast. The reaction rate or rate of reaction is the speed at which a chemical reaction takes place, defined as proportional to the increase in the concentration of a product per unit time and to the decrease in the concentration of a reactant per unit time. [1]

  8. Compound annual growth rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compound_annual_growth_rate

    Compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is a business, economics and investing term representing the mean annualized growth rate for compounding values over a given time period. [1] [2] CAGR smoothes the effect of volatility of periodic values that can render arithmetic means less meaningful. It is particularly useful to compare growth rates of ...

  9. Pre-determined overhead rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-determined_overhead_rate

    If the overhead rate is recomputed at the end of each month or each quarter based on actual costs and activity, the overhead rate would go up in the winter and summer and down in the spring and fall. As a result, two identical jobs, one completed in the winter and one completed in the spring, would be assigned different manufacturing overhead ...
