A uniform electric field is produced by placing a potential difference (or voltage) across two parallel metal plates. A uniform field is one in which the ... more

Self-inductance is the voltage produced by the changing of the electric current through a circuit that contains inductance, which opposes the change in ... more

Calculates the standard deviation (SD) of a series of numbers (x).
In statistics, the standard deviation (SD) is a measure that is used to quantify ... more

Mutual inductance is the voltage produced by the changing of the electric current through a circuit that contains inductance, which opposes the change in ... more

The NACA airfoils are airfoil shapes for aircraft wings developed by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (... more

The Dirichlet kernel is a collection of functions and its importance comes from its relation to Fourier series, that decomposes any periodic function or ... more

Time-domain reflectometry or TDR is a measurement technique used to determine the characteristics of electrical lines by ... more

Mechanical advantage is a measure of the force amplification achieved by using a tool, mechanical device or machine system. Ideally, the device preserves ... more

In turbomachinery, the slip factor is a measure of the fluid slip in the impeller of a compressor or a turbine, mostly a centrifugal machine. Fluid slip is ... more
