  2. Branching fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branching_fraction

    Suppose we drive a transition in an atomic system to an excited state |e , which can decay into either the ground state |g or a long-lived state |d . If the probability to decay (the branching fraction) into the |g state is ⁠ p {\displaystyle p} ⁠ , then the probability to decay into the other state |d would be ⁠ 1 − p {\displaystyle 1 ...

    Definitions of some of the mixtures: IRFNA IIIa 83.4% HNO 3, 14% NO 2, 2% H 2 O, 0.6% HF IRFNA IV HDA 54.3% HNO 3, 44% NO 2, 1% H 2 O, 0.7% HF RP-1 See MIL-P-25576C, basically kerosene (approximately C 10 H 18) MMH monomethylhydrazine CH 3 NHNH 2. Has not all data for CO/O 2, purposed for NASA for Martian-based rockets, only a specific impulse ...

  4. Propellant mass fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propellant_mass_fraction

    In aircraft, mass fraction is related to range, an aircraft with a higher mass fraction can go farther. Aircraft mass fractions are typically around 0.5. When applied to a rocket as a whole, a low mass fraction is desirable, since it indicates a greater capability for the rocket to deliver payload to orbit for a given amount of fuel.

  5. Eutectic system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eutectic_system

    A eutectic system or eutectic mixture (/ j uː ˈ t ɛ k t ɪ k / yoo-TEK-tik) [1] is a type of a homogeneous mixture that has a melting point lower than those of the constituents. [2] The lowest possible melting point over all of the mixing ratios of the constituents is called the eutectic temperature .

  6. Fractional-order system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional-order_system

    By applying a Laplace transform to the LTI system above, the transfer function becomes = () = = =For general orders and this is a non-rational transfer function. Non-rational transfer functions cannot be written as an expansion in a finite number of terms (e.g., a binomial expansion would have an infinite number of terms) and in this sense fractional orders systems can be said to have the ...

  7. Mixture fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixture_fraction

    The mixture fraction definition is usually normalized such that it approaches unity in the fuel stream and zero in the oxidizer stream. [4] The mixture-fraction variable is commonly used as a replacement for the physical coordinate normal to the flame surface, in nonpremixed combustion.

  8. Priority inversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priority_inversion

    Priority inversion can also reduce the perceived performance of the system. Low-priority tasks usually have a low priority because it is not important for them to finish promptly (for example, they might be a batch job or another non-interactive activity). Similarly, a high-priority task has a high priority because it is more likely to be ...

  9. Fraction of variance unexplained - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraction_of_variance...

    In statistics, the fraction of variance unexplained (FVU) in the context of a regression task is the fraction of variance of the regressand (dependent variable) Y which cannot be explained, i.e., which is not correctly predicted, by the explanatory variables X.
