  2. Test method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_method

    A test method is a method for a test in science or engineering, such as a physical test, chemical test, or statistical test. It is a definitive procedure that produces a test result. [ 1 ] In order to ensure accurate and relevant test results, a test method should be "explicit, unambiguous, and experimentally feasible.", [ 2 ] as well as ...

  3. Sudden unintended acceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudden_unintended_acceleration

    "Sudden acceleration incidents" (SAI) are defined for the purpose of this report as unintended, unexpected, high-power accelerations from a stationary position or a very low initial speed accompanied by an apparent loss of braking effectiveness. In a typical scenario, the incident begins at the moment of shifting to "Drive" or "Reverse" from ...

  4. Tsiolkovsky rocket equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsiolkovsky_rocket_equation

    A rocket's required mass ratio as a function of effective exhaust velocity ratio. The classical rocket equation, or ideal rocket equation is a mathematical equation that describes the motion of vehicles that follow the basic principle of a rocket: a device that can apply acceleration to itself using thrust by expelling part of its mass with high velocity and can thereby move due to the ...

  5. Isentropic nozzle flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isentropic_Nozzle_Flow

    The isentropic stagnation state is the state a flowing fluid would attain if it underwent a reversible adiabatic deceleration to zero velocity. There are both actual and the isentropic stagnation states for a typical gas or vapor. Sometimes it is advantageous to make a distinction between the actual and the isentropic stagnation states.

  6. Swing equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swing_equation

    In steady state, the machine angular speed is equal to the synchronous speed and hence ω m can be replaced in the above equation by ω s. Since P m, P e and P a are given in MW, dividing them by the generator MVA rating S rated gives these quantities in per unit. Dividing the above equation on both sides by S rated gives

  7. Supersonic wind tunnel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supersonic_wind_tunnel

    Engineers check an aircraft model before a test run in the Supersonic Wind Tunnel at Lewis Flight Propulsion Laboratory. Schlieren photography is often used to capture images of gas flow and shock waves in supersonic wind tunnels. Here, Mach 4 flow over a pitot probe is observed by schlieren optics in the Penn State Supersonic Wind Tunnel. The ...

  8. Glossary of aerospace engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_aerospace...

    With high-speed supercomputers, better solutions can be achieved, and are often required to solve the largest and most complex problems. Conservation of momentum – The total momentum of objects involved in a collision remains constant regardless of friction and permanent deformation that may occur during the collision. The law of conservation ...

  9. Laboratory centrifuge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laboratory_centrifuge

    The load in a laboratory centrifuge must be carefully balanced. This is achieved by using a combination of samples and balance tubes which all have the same weight or by using various balancing patterns without balance tubes. [2] It is an interesting mathematical problem to solve the balance pattern given n slots and k tubes with the same weight.
