  2. Gear train - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gear_train

    The gear ratio of the pitch circles of mating gears defines the speed ratio and the mechanical advantage of the gear set. A planetary gear train provides high gear reduction in a compact package. It is possible to design gear teeth for gears that are non-circular, yet still transmit torque smoothly.

  3. Compressor characteristic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor_characteristic

    In compressor maximum volume flow rate is limited by cross-section at the inlet. This condition can be seen in the right side of the Figure 5. in which constant speed lines descends steeply. The point on constant speed line at which choking occurs is known as choke point or stonewall point. [16]

  4. Motor constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_constants

    The rating of a brushless motor is the ratio of the motor's unloaded rotational speed (measured in RPM) to the peak (not RMS) voltage on the wires connected to the coils (the back EMF). For example, an unloaded motor of K v {\displaystyle K_{\text{v}}} = 5,700 rpm/V supplied with 11.1 V will run at a nominal speed of 63,270 rpm (= 5,700 rpm/V ...

  5. Mechanical advantage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_advantage

    The ideal mechanical advantage is the ratio of the force out of the machine (load) to the force into the machine (effort), or =. Applying the constant power relationship yields a formula for this ideal mechanical advantage in terms of the speed ratio:

  6. Tip-speed ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tip-speed_ratio

    The tip-speed ratio, λ, or TSR for wind turbines is the ratio between the tangential speed of the tip of a blade and the actual speed of the wind, v. The tip-speed ratio is related to efficiency, with the optimum varying with blade design. [1] Higher tip speeds result in higher noise levels and require stronger blades due to larger centrifugal ...

  7. Continuously variable transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuously_variable...

    The drive ratio is adjusted by changing linkage geometry within the oscillating elements so that the summed maximum linkage speed is adjusted, even when the average linkage speed remains constant. Ratcheting CVTs can transfer substantial torque because their static friction actually increases relative to torque throughput, so slippage is ...

  8. Compression ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_ratio

    A fundamental specification for such engines, it can be measured in two different ways. The simpler way is the static compression ratio: in a reciprocating engine, this is the ratio of the volume of the cylinder when the piston is at the bottom of its stroke to that volume when the piston is at the top of its stroke. [1]

  9. Specific speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_speed

    Specific speed N s, is used to characterize turbomachinery speed. [1] Common commercial and industrial practices use dimensioned versions which are of equal utility. Specific speed is most commonly used in pump applications to define the suction specific speed —a quasi non-dimensional number that categorizes pump impellers as to their type and proportions.
