English

Subject field(s)
  • Economic Planning
  • Agricultural Economics
DEF

The value an element of a project would have to reach as a result of a change in an unfavorable direction before the project no longer meets the minimum level of acceptability as indicated by one of the measures of project worth.

CONT

[Switching value is the] value that reverses the ranking of two alternative projects. For example, Farm A will produce beef with high technology equipment and few workers, while Farm B will consist of a low-technology operation employing many farm workers. Up to a weight of 1.5 on income going to the poor, Farm A has a higher rate of return. However, if a weight greater than 1.5 is given, Farm B will have a higher rate of return. The switching value, therefore, is 1.5.

Record 8 1985-08-02

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Propulsion Systems
CONT

Similarly, the output of the pilot valve to either low or high pitch is routed through the feather valve. When the valve is positioned for feathering, the pump manifold is connected directly to the high-pitch line. This isolates the propeller lines from the rest of the control system and closes off the standby pump bypass.

CONT

The NTS-feather valve responds to either an NTS signal [negative torque signal] or a feather signal by porting all fluid pumped by the hydraulic pumps to increase beta (blade angle) passages. Thus a rapid rate of blade-angle change required for feathering or NTS response can be effected.

French

Domaine(s)
