The crux of the matter lies in that the Formula 1 compression ratio is not measured by sensors during engine operation, but statically. The FIA simply compares the ratio in volume in the cylinder ...

If you've ever watched a glass blower at work, you've seen a material behaving in a very special way. As it cools, the viscosity of molten glass increases steadily but gradually, allowing it to be ...

The SWCC has played an important role in studying the physical-mechanical behavior and hydraulic property of unsaturated soils. Laboratory experiments of SWCC were performed on unsaturated loess based ...

An international team of researchers, including members from the University of Granada, has developed a mathematical model that predicts with unprecedented accuracy how temperature affects all levels ...

Correlation coefficients range from -1 to +1, indicating the strength of relationships between variables. Investors use correlation coefficients for portfolio diversification to reduce risk.

With the trend toward miniaturization, temperature effects in power electronics are more pronounced than ever. If you’re dealing with temperature fluctuations in your circuit, you may need a ...

Switching a home to solar power (or, at least, installing solar panels to help offset some of your grid usage) can be a worthwhile endeavor. It can also be kind of a headache, with several common ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. It’s a sunny February morning and you turn on the TV to watch ...

A negative temperature coefficient (NTC) refers to any physical value that decreases as the temperature increases or vice versa. In electronics, NTC usually refers to a material’s decreasing ...

This post is a peek into the Beta and Steinhart-Hart equations for representing the resistance vs. temperature relationship in NTC thermistors. As defined by IEC 60539, NTC (Negative Temperature ...

The number pi (π) appears in the most unlikely places. It can be found in circles, of course—as well as in pendulums, springs and river bends. This everyday number is linked to transcendental ...

Temperature is a measure of the average energy of a collection of particles. (This is in contrast to kinetic energy, which is a measure of the energy carried by a single particle.) So, to answer a ...
