  2. Gas constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_constant

    where c p is the specific heat capacity for a constant pressure and c v is the specific heat capacity for a constant volume. [9] It is common, especially in engineering applications, to represent the specific gas constant by the symbol R. In such cases, the universal gas constant is usually given a different symbol such as R to distinguish it ...

  3. Specific volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_volume

    In that case, the specific volume would equal 0.4672 in 3 /lb. However, if the temperature is changed to 1160 °R, the specific volume of the super heated steam would have changed to 0.2765 in 3 /lb, which is a 59% overall change. Knowing the specific volumes of two or more substances allows one to find useful information for certain applications.

  4. Significant figures - Wikipedia

    With this method, 1.25 is rounded down to 1.2. If this method applies to 1.35, then it is rounded up to 1.4. This is the method preferred by many scientific disciplines, because, for example, it avoids skewing the average value of a long list of values upwards. For an integer in rounding, replace the digits after the n digit with zeros. For ...

  5. Data - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data

    Data (/ ˈ d eɪ t ə / DAY-tə, US also / ˈ d æ t ə / DAT-ə) are a collection of discrete or continuous values that convey information, describing the quantity, quality, fact, statistics, other basic units of meaning, or simply sequences of symbols that may be further interpreted formally. A datum is an individual

  6. Value (economics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value_(economics)

    In classical economics, the value of an object or condition is the amount of discomfort/labor saved through the consumption or use of an object or condition (Labor Theory of Value). Though exchange value is recognized, economic value is not, in theory, dependent on the existence of a market and price and value are not seen as equal. This is ...

  7. Specific heat capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_heat_capacity

    The specific heat capacity obtained this way is said to be measured at constant volume (or isochoric) and denoted . The value of is always less than the value of for all fluids. This difference is particularly notable in gases where values under constant pressure are typically 30% to 66.7% greater than those at constant volume.

  8. Heat of combustion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_of_combustion

    The heating value (or energy value or calorific value) of a substance, usually a fuel or food (see food energy), is the amount of heat released during the combustion of a specified amount of it. The calorific value is the total energy released as heat when a substance undergoes complete combustion with oxygen under standard conditions.

  9. Sensitivity and specificity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensitivity_and_specificity

    As one moves to the left of the black dotted line, the sensitivity increases, reaching its maximum value of 100% at line A, and the specificity decreases. The sensitivity at line A is 100% because at that point there are zero false negatives, meaning that all the negative test results are true negatives.
