  2. Tip-speed ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tip-speed_ratio

    The tip-speed ratio, λ, or TSR for wind turbines is the ratio between the tangential speed of the tip of a blade and the actual speed of the wind, v. The tip-speed ratio is related to efficiency, with the optimum varying with blade design. [1] Higher tip speeds result in higher noise levels and require stronger blades due to larger centrifugal ...

  3. Blade solidity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blade_solidity

    Blade solidity is an important design parameter for the axial flow impeller and is defined as the ratio of blade chord length to spacing. Airfoil nomenclature. Blade Solidity = c/s; Where = / is the spacing; is the mean radius; is blade number

  4. Advance ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advance_ratio

    It helps in understanding the efficiency of the propeller at different speeds and is particularly useful in the design and analysis of propeller-driven vehicles.It is the ratio of the freestream fluid speed to the propeller, rotor, or cyclorotor tip speed. When a propeller-driven vehicle is moving at high speed relative to the fluid, or the ...

  5. Nose cone design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nose_cone_design

    General parameters used for constructing nose cone profiles. Given the problem of the aerodynamic design of the nose cone section of any vehicle or body meant to travel through a compressible fluid medium (such as a rocket or aircraft, missile, shell or bullet), an important problem is the determination of the nose cone geometrical shape for optimum performance.

  6. Chord (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chord_(aeronautics)

    Many wings are not rectangular, so they have different chords at different positions. Usually, the chord length is greatest where the wing joins the aircraft's fuselage (called the root chord) and decreases along the wing toward the wing's tip (the tip chord). Most jet aircraft use a tapered swept wing design.

  7. Fracture mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fracture_mechanics

    When the size of the plastic zone at the crack tip is too large, elastic-plastic fracture mechanics can be used with parameters such as the J-integral or the crack tip opening displacement. The characterising parameter describes the state of the crack tip which can then be related to experimental conditions to ensure similitude. Crack growth ...

    Yes, you should also try to tip a hairdresser’s assistant if they shampooed, conditioned, smoothed on your gloss or color glaze, etc. You can ask the receptionist how tips are divided to make ...

  9. Radial turbine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_turbine

    The main parameters governing these losses are b 2 /d 2, d 3 /d 2 and hub-tip ratio at the rotor exit. Shock or incidence losses At off-design operation, there are additional losses in the nozzle and rotor blade rings on account of incidence at the leading edges of the blades.
