  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]

    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 linear speed of the media under the head is thus about 66 mm × 300 rpm = 19800 mm ...

  4. Thermodynamic databases for pure substances - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_databases...

    The equation parameters and all other information required to calculate values of the important thermodynamic functions are stored in a thermodynamic datafile. The values are organized in a format that makes them readable by a thermodynamic calculation program or for use in a spreadsheet.

  5. Disc integration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_integration

    Disc integration, also known in integral calculus as the disc method, is a method for calculating the volume of a solid of revolution of a solid-state material when integrating along an axis "parallel" to the axis of revolution. This method models the resulting three-dimensional shape as a stack of an infinite number of discs of varying radius ...

  6. Template:Math - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Math

    The math template formats mathematical formulas generated using HTML or wiki markup. (It does not accept the AMS-LaTeX markup that <math> does.) The template uses the texhtml class by default for inline text style formulas, which aims to match the size of the serif font with the surrounding sans-serif font (see below).

  7. Elevator algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elevator_algorithm

    The elevator algorithm, or SCAN, is a disk-scheduling algorithm to determine the motion of the disk's arm and head in servicing read and write requests.. This algorithm is named after the behavior of a building elevator, where the elevator continues to travel in its current direction (up or down) until empty, stopping only to let individuals off or to pick up new individuals heading in the ...

  8. Specific storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_storage

    These equations relate a change in total or water volume (or ) per change in applied stress (effective stress — or pore pressure — ) per unit volume. The compressibilities (and therefore also S s ) can be estimated from laboratory consolidation tests (in an apparatus called a consolidometer), using the consolidation theory of soil mechanics ...

  9. Betz's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betz's_law

    As an effectively 1-D model, the flow into and out of the disk is axial, and all velocities are transversely uniform. 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.
