MAE
This absolute temperature scale is commonly used in thermodynamics.
What is Kelvin or Rankine?
In logic design, this two-input gate outputs a true when either input is true.
What is an OR gate?
This medical imaging technique uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to generate detailed images without using ionizing radiation.
What is an MRI?
This constant has a value of 8.314 J/mol*K.
What is the Universal Gas Constant?
This composite is made by mixing cement, water, and aggregates.
What is concrete?
This fluid motion is characterized by chaotic changes in pressure and flow velocity.
What is turbulent flow?
This type of semiconductor allows current to flow easily in only one direction.
What is a diode?
This electrical signal generated by the heart is mapped by placing electrodes on the skin.
What is an EKG/ECG?
This unique type of material conducts electricity with zero resistance when cooled below a specific, critical temperature.
What is a superconductor?
This structural element uses triangular beams to efficiently distribute loads in bridges.
What is a truss?
This law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed.
What is the First Law of Thermodynamics?
These two laws are fundamental for circuit analysis, dealing with conservation of charge at a node and conservation of energy around a loop.
What are Kirchoff's Laws?
These are the risk classes BME devices can be categorized under.
What are Class I, II, and III?
Real gases behave most like an ideal gas under these two specific thermodynamic conditions.
What is high temperature and low pressure?
In structural engineering, the difference between a pulling (stretching) force and a crushing (squeezing) force.
What is tension and compression?
The rotational analog of linear force.
What is torque?
This 6-letter acronym represents the most common type of transistor used in modern digital circuits.
What is Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor?
This theorem relates a surface integral of the curl of a vector field to a line integral of the vector field around the boundary of that surface.
What is Stokes' Theorem?
This lattice structure has a packing factor of 74%.
What is FCC?
This unit represents a thousand pounds.
What is a kip (unit)?
Derived from conservation of energy, this principle states that an increase in the speed of a fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in static pressure.
What is Bernoulli's Principle?
This component acts as an open circuit in AC analysis.
What is an inductor?
A Fourier transform is used to change a signal from the time domain to this domain.
What is frequency?
These are the three core transport phenomena.
What is momentum, heat, and mass transfer?
This soil texture encapsulates equal proportions of clay, silt, and sand.
What is clay loam?
