  2. Disk density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_density

    High density (HD) 3½-inch disks switch to a cobalt disk coating, just as with 5¼-inch HD disks. Drives use 700-oersted write heads for a density of 17,434 bpi. Extra-high density (ED) doubles the capacity over HD by using a barium ferrite coating and a special write head that allows the use of perpendicular recording. [1] [2]

  3. Density (computer storage) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density_(computer_storage)

    Higher density means more data moves under the head for any given mechanical movement. For example, we can calculate the effective transfer speed for a floppy disc by determining how fast the bits move under the head. A standard 3½-inch floppy disk spins at 300 rpm, and the innermost track is about 66 mm long (10.5 mm radius). At 300 rpm the ...

  4. Betz's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betz's_law

    This is a control-volume analysis; the control volume must contain all incoming and outgoing flow in order to use the conservation equations. The flow is non-compressible. Density is constant, and there is no heat transfer. Uniform pressure is applied to the disk. (No radial dependence on pressure in this 1-D model.)

  5. Disk loading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_loading

    A low disk loading is a direct indicator of high lift thrust efficiency. [4] Increasing the weight of a helicopter increases disk loading. For a given weight, a helicopter with shorter rotors will have higher disk loading, and will require more engine power to hover. A low disk loading improves autorotation performance in rotorcraft.

  6. Area density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_density

    In the case of a disk seen face-on, area density for a given area of the disk is defined as column density: that is, either as the mass of substance per unit area integrated along the vertical path that goes through the disk (line-of-sight), from the bottom to the top of the medium:

  7. Thermodynamic equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_equations

    (Note - the relation between pressure, volume, temperature, and particle number which is commonly called "the equation of state" is just one of many possible equations of state.) If we know all k+2 of the above equations of state, we may reconstitute the fundamental equation and recover all thermodynamic properties of the system.

  8. Angular momentum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_momentum

    In the simplest case of a spinning disk, the angular momentum is given by [4] = where is the disk's mass, is the frequency of rotation and is the disk's radius. If instead the disk rotates about its diameter (e.g. coin toss), its angular momentum L {\displaystyle L} is given by [ 4 ] L = 1 2 π M f r 2 {\displaystyle L={\frac {1}{2}}\pi Mfr^{2}}

  9. Axial fan design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_fan_design

    Variation of Pressure and Velocity of Flow through a Propeller disc. [1] In the figure, the thickness of the propeller disc is assumed to be negligible. The boundary between the fluid in motion and fluid at rest is shown. Therefore, the flow is assumed to be taking place in an imaginary converging duct [1] [2] where: D = Diameter of the ...
