specific gravity Quick reference
A Dictionary of Chemical Engineering
...specific gravity The ratio of the density of a substance to the density of water at 20 º C. The specific gravity of water at 20°C is therefore 1.0. ...
audio spectrum Quick reference
A Dictionary of Electronics and Electrical Engineering (5 ed.)

spectrum Quick reference
A Dictionary of Electronics and Electrical Engineering (5 ed.)
...The range of possible frequencies that a particular (electrical) signal can have. For example, the audio spectrum is generally considered to extend from 20 hertz to 20 kilohertz, so a given audio signal will be found in this range, and a given instrument will have its own spectrum of frequencies or spectral response within this range. ...
geometric mean Quick reference
A Dictionary of Chemical Engineering
...geometric mean A type of mean value that is the average value of a set of n numbers, and calculated by multiplying them together, and extracting the nth root of the product. For example, the geometric mean of 10, 20, and 40 is and is less than the arithmetic mean, which is (10 + 20 + 40)/3 = 23.33. ...
factorial Quick reference
A Dictionary of Chemical Engineering
...factorial (Symbol !) The product of all the positive whole integers being considered. Note that 0! has a value of 1. For example, 5! is 0 × 1 × 2 × 3 × 4 × 5 = 20. ...

decibel Quick reference
A Dictionary of Mechanical Engineering (2 ed.)
...( G ) A logarithmic measure of the ratio of two variables, V 1 and V 2 say, defined by G (dB) = 20log 10 ( V 1 / V 2 ). By choosing a suitable reference value for V 2 the decibel can be used as a measure of a variable V 1 , rather than of the ratio between variables. For example, sound pressure level ( SPL ) is expressed in decibel by SPL (dB) = 20log 10 ( p/p REF ) where p is the sound pressure and p REF a reference pressure, normally taken as 20 μ Pa. Because decibels are a logarithmic measure, they are additive when two variables expressed in...
