  2. Everything to Know About Critical Power - AOL

    www.aol.com/everything-know-critical-power...

    Critical power and W prime can be interesting values to learn for yourself, and if it sounds like a fun testing process to you, then by all means, get out there and find your critical power.

  3. Power factor (shooting sports) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_factor_(shooting_sports)

    Power factor (PF) in practical shooting competitions refers to a ranking system used to reward cartridges with more recoil. Power factor is a measure of the momentum of the bullet (scaled product of the bullet's mass and velocity), which to some degree reflects the recoil impulse from the firearm onto the shooter (see section on limitations).

  4. Critical exponent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_exponent

    In a sufficiently small neighborhood of the critical point, we may linearize the action of the renormalization group. This basically means that rescaling the system by a factor of a will be equivalent to rescaling operators and source fields by a factor of a Δ for some Δ. So, we may reparameterize all quantities in terms of rescaled scale ...

  5. Prompt criticality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prompt_criticality

    The neutrons, once released, have no difference except the energy or speed that have been imparted to them. A nuclear weapon relies heavily on prompt-supercriticality (to produce a high peak power in a fraction of a second), whereas nuclear power reactors use delayed-criticality to produce controllable power levels for months or years.

  6. Zero power factor curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_power_factor_curve

    The zero power factor curve (also zero power factor characteristic, ZPF, ZPFC) of a synchronous generator is a plot of the output voltage as a function of the excitation current or field using a zero power factor (purely inductive) load that corresponds to rated voltage at rated current (1 p.u.).

  7. Power-voltage curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-voltage_curve

    Power-voltage curve (also P-V curve) describes the relationship between the active power delivered to the electrical load and the voltage at the load terminals in an electric power system under a constant power factor. [1] When plotted with power as a horizontal axis, the curve resembles a human nose, thus it is sometimes called a nose curve. [2]

  8. J-integral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J-integral

    The J-integral represents a way to calculate the strain energy release rate, or work per unit fracture surface area, in a material. [1] The theoretical concept of J-integral was developed in 1967 by G. P. Cherepanov [2] and independently in 1968 by James R. Rice, [3] who showed that an energetic contour path integral (called J) was independent of the path around a crack.
