AI-ORGANISED INDEX
energy · Wh, Ah, hours
For choosing a battery, and for working out how long a generator or a mains charger will take. A 12 V 100 Ah battery on a 10 A charger is about 10 hours, less the losses.
AI-ORGANISED INDEX
chemistry · %
How well a process actually ran. A lime neutralisation that only reaches 80% means you need more lime than the label says.
AI-ORGANISED INDEX

Cooling, spoilage, radioactive decay, drug clearance and declining yields.
AI-ORGANISED INDEX

Populations, investments, fermentation and anything that grows by a percentage each period.
AI-ORGANISED INDEX

Rough runtime for a battery bank before depth-of-discharge limits.
AI-ORGANISED INDEX

More accurate earthwork volumes than end-area averaging, especially on long cuttings.
AI-ORGANISED INDEX

Oven temperatures, animal temperatures, weather and old American books. Multiplication and addition beat a table every time.
AI-ORGANISED INDEX
measurement · varies
Salt in a brine, protein in a feed, moisture in a crop, discount on a sale. Divide the percentage by 100 and multiply.
AI-ORGANISED INDEX
physics · joules (J)
Work only happens when the force is in the direction of the movement. Lifting a load 2 m and pushing a barrow 100 m are different amounts of work.
AI-ORGANISED INDEX
maths · currency
On a loan, an investment, or a hire-purchase agreement. The difference from simple interest is that the interest itself earns interest.
AI-ORGANISED INDEX
chemistry · Pa m3
The rule behind a pressure cooker, a tyre, a gas cylinder and a fermenting barrel. Pressure rises with temperature and with the amount of gas, and falls as the volume grows.
AI-ORGANISED INDEX
agronomy · kg/ha
Oilseed rape and grass are hungry for sulphur. Too little sulphur and the crop cannot use the nitrogen you have paid for, so the response to extra N is poor.
AI-ORGANISED INDEX
agronomy · litres per hectare
Catch the output from one nozzle for one minute to get flow. Measure your forward speed and the nozzle spacing on the boom. This tells you how many litres per hectare you are putting down, so you can mix the right amount of chemical in the tank.
AI-ORGANISED INDEX
workshop · watts, amps
For working out whether a supply will carry a heater, a welder or a three-phase motor. See Three Phase And Single Phase.
AI-ORGANISED INDEX
agronomy · kg/ha
The calculation behind a fertiliser plan. Subtract what the soil and the manure already give you, then convert to the product you are actually buying.
AI-ORGANISED INDEX
workshop · volts, %
Long runs need bigger cable, not bigger fuses. Measure the run, use the table, and check the breaker size next.
