  2. Tsiolkovsky rocket equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsiolkovsky_rocket_equation

    A rocket's required mass ratio as a function of effective exhaust velocity ratio. The classical rocket equation, or ideal rocket equation is a mathematical equation that describes the motion of vehicles that follow the basic principle of a rocket: a device that can apply acceleration to itself using thrust by expelling part of its mass with high velocity and can thereby move due to the ...

  3. Delta ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_Ratio

    Mathematically, if the change in the numerator is similar to the change in the denominator, the delta ratio will be close to 1. Since the anions are unable to diffuse out of the bloodstream, while bicarbonate and hydrogen ions diffuse with ease (as H 2 CO 3, carbonic acid), the usual result will be closer to a delta ratio of 1 to 2.

  4. δ15N - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Δ15N

    The ratio of 15 N to 14 N is of relevance because in most biological contexts, 14 N is preferentially uptaken as the lighter isotope. As a result, samples enriched in 15 N can often be introduced through a non-biological context. One use of 15 N is as a tracer to determine the path taken by fertilizers applied to anything from pots to ...

  5. Discharge coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discharge_coefficient

    In a nozzle or other constriction, the discharge coefficient (also known as coefficient of discharge or efflux coefficient) is the ratio of the actual discharge to the ideal discharge, [1] i.e., the ratio of the mass flow rate at the discharge end of the nozzle to that of an ideal nozzle which expands an identical working fluid from the same initial conditions to the same exit pressures.

  6. NTU method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTU_Method

    Here, represents the mass ratio of gas 'x' (meaning mass of gas 'x' relative to the mass of all other non-'x' gas mass) and is the partial pressure of gas 'x'. Using the ideal gas formulation for the mass ratio gives the following definition for the specific mass capacity:

  7. Experimental uncertainty analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experimental_uncertainty...

    To illustrate, a simple example of this process is to find the mean and variance of the derived quantity z = x 2 where the measured quantity x is Normally distributed with mean μ and variance σ 2. The derived quantity z will have some new PDF, that can (sometimes) be found using the rules of probability calculus. [ 7 ]

  8. 3 steps to calculate your debt-to-income ratio - AOL

    After calculating your debt-to-income ratio (DTI), check the lender’s requirements. If your DTI is well below 43 percent or the lender’s threshold and you meet other eligibility criteria, you ...

  9. Logarithmic mean temperature difference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithmic_mean...

    where ΔT A is the temperature difference between the two streams at end A, and ΔT B is the temperature difference between the two streams at end B. When the two temperature differences are equal, this formula does not directly resolve, so the LMTD is conventionally taken to equal its limit value, which is in this case trivially equal to the ...
