Information about Load Factor

Load factor may refer to:
  • Capacity factor, the ratio of the actual output of a power plant over a period of time and its output if it had operated a full capacity of that time period
  • Load factor (aerodynamics), n, is the vector expressed by the ratio of the resulting mass force acting on an aircraft and the weight of the aircraft, where W is the weight of the aircraft and Fi is the inertia force
  • Load factor (aviation), the ratio of revenue passenger miles to available seat miles of a particular flight.
  • Load factor (computer science), the ratio of the number of records to the number of addresses or indexes within a data structure, see hash table
  • Load factor (electrical) is the average power divided by the peak power over a period of time, see demand factor
  • Load factor (structural) is a number by which a specified load is multiplied to determine the required design load, see dead load, live load and structural design
The capacity factor of a power plant is the ratio of the actual output of a power plant over a period of time and its output if it had operated a full capacity of that time period.

Load factor is the ratio of the total lift generated by an aircraft to the total weight of the aircraft. The load factor is expressed in multiples of the acceleration due to gravity, g.

Revenue passenger miles (RPMs) is a measure of a passenger traffic for an airline flight, bus, or train calculated by multiplying the total number of revenue-paying passengers aboard the vehicle by the distance traveled measured in miles.

In computer science, a hash table, or a hash map, is a data structure that associates keys with values. The primary operation it supports efficiently is a lookup: given a key (e.g. a person's name), find the corresponding value (e.g. that person's telephone number).

In telecommunication, electronics and the electrical power industry, the term demand factor has the following meanings:

1. The ratio of (a) the maximum real power consumed by a system to (b) the maximum real power that would be consumed if the entire load connected to

Dead and Live loads are terms used in mechanical and structural engineering, especially where analysis of real world objects are required. A 'load' refers to any type of force exerted on an object, which may be in the form of a 'weight' (gravitational force), a pressure, or

In structural engineering, structural design is an iterative process of applying engineering mechanics and past experience to create a functional, economic, and, most importantly, safe structure for the public to enjoy.
