Engineering Flashcards
Combined Capacitors
Parallel: C = C(1) + C(2) + … Serial: 1/C = 1/C(1) + 1/C(2) +… …the inverse of combined resistors
Resistance
R = rho * (L / A) R: resistance rho: resistivity L: length A: cross sectional area
Pressure and Volumetric Flow Rate Change
P(1) / P(2) = (Q(1) / Q(2))^2
Bernoulli’s Theorem
Power density, power, antenna area, distance, and wavelength
W = AP/(lambda^2 * r^2) W: power density, W/m^2 A: antenna area P: power r: distance lambda: wavelength
HAZOP
Hazard & Operability Analysis uses guidewords to identify deviation of process parameters from their design intent.
Slip Meter
measures coefficient of friction
Power, Potential Difference, & Resistance
When doubling potential difference and keeping resistance constant, power quadruples!
Sling Weight Limit & Angle
cosα = w / n*l
w: total weight
n: # sling legs
l: per-leg tension
α: sling leg angle relative to vertical
Inductance
L(series) = Σ(L(1)…L(i))
1 / L(parallel) = Σ( 1/L(1)…1/L(i))
…just like combining resistors
Inductance is expressed in units of Henry.
