  2. XMM-Newton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XMM-Newton

    Animation of XMM-Newton 's trajectory around Earth. XMM-Newton, also known as the High Throughput X-ray Spectroscopy Mission and the X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission, is an X-ray space observatory launched by the European Space Agency in December 1999 on an Ariane 5 rocket. It is the second cornerstone mission of ESA's Horizon 2000 programme.

  3. NTU method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTU_Method

    The number of transfer units (NTU) method is used to calculate the rate of heat transfer in heat exchangers (especially parallel flow, counter current, and cross-flow exchangers) when there is insufficient information to calculate the log mean temperature difference (LMTD). Alternatively, this method is useful for determining the expected heat ...

  4. XMM Cluster Survey - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XMM_Cluster_Survey

    The XMM Cluster Survey (XCS) is a serendipitous X-ray galaxy cluster survey being conducted using archival data taken by ESA’s XMM-Newton satellite. Galaxy clusters trace the large scale structure of the universe, and their number density evolution with redshift provides a way to measure cosmological parameters, independent of cosmic microwave background experiments or supernovae cosmology ...

  5. Effective potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_potential

    The effective potential (also known as effective potential energy) combines multiple, perhaps opposing, effects into a single potential. In its basic form, it is the sum of the 'opposing' centrifugal potential energy with the potential energy of a dynamical system .

  6. Post-Newtonian expansion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-Newtonian_expansion

    Higher-order terms can be added to increase accuracy, but for strong fields sometimes it is preferable to solve the complete equations numerically. This method is a common mark of effective field theories. In the limit, when the small parameters are equal to 0, the post-Newtonian expansion reduces to Newton's law of gravity.

  7. Newton (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton_(unit)

    A newton is defined as 1 kg⋅m/s 2 (it is a named derived unit defined in terms of the SI base units). [1]: 137 One newton is, therefore, the force needed to accelerate one kilogram of mass at the rate of one metre per second squared in the direction of the applied force.

  8. English Engineering Units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Engineering_Units

    Units for other physical quantities are derived from this set as needed. In English Engineering Units, the pound-mass and the pound-force are distinct base units, and Newton's Second Law of Motion takes the form = where is the acceleration in ft/s 2 and g c = 32.174 lb·ft/(lbf·s 2).

  9. Net effective rent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_effective_rent

    To calculate the NER in this case, the present value of all future cash flows is summed, and then divided by the number of periods, and then converted to the same units as the face rent. In the example above, in a five-year lease on a 10,000 square foot area, the tenant will pay 20 x 10000 = $200,000 per month x 60 months = $12,000,000 over the ...
