15 Módulo de transferencia de calor & inglés terms
Glossary
Aircraft
Noun
An airplane, helicopter, or other machine capable of flight.
Example: An Aviatik was the first aircraft to land in Mallorca.
en: Aeronave
Analog signal
Noun
Is any continuous signal for which the time-varying feature of the signal is a representation of some other time-varying quantity.
Example: An analog signal uses some property of the medium to convey the signal's information.
en: Señal analoga
Capacitor
Noun
A device used to store an electric charge, consisting of one or more pairs of conductors separated by an insulator.
Example: A capacitor consists of two conductors separated by a non-conductive region.
en: Condensador
Continuous signal
Noun
Is a varying quantity (a signal) whose domain, which is often time, is a continuum.
Example: A continuous signal, such as voice, has a continuous range of amplitudes, and therefore its samples have a continuous amplitude range.
en: Señal continua
Digital signal.
Noun
Is a continuous-time physical signal, alternating between a discrete number of waveforms, representing a bitstream.
Example: Digital signals having more than two states are occasionally used.
en: Señal digital.
Discrete signal
Noun
A discrete signal or discrete-time signal is a time series consisting of a sequence of quantities.
Example: A discrete signal is represented as a sequence of numbers.
en: Señal discreta
Framework
Noun
An essential supporting structure of a building, vehicle, or object
Example: A framework is a real or conceptual structure intended to serve as a support or guide for the building of something that expands the structure into something useful.

Landing
Adjective
An instance of coming or bringing something to land, either from the air or from water.
Example: Tuvimos que hacer un aterrizaje de emergencia debido a la tormenta.

Pressure
Noun
Continuous physical force exerted on or against an object by something in contact with it.
Example: Because pressure is commonly measured by its ability to displace a column of liquid in a manometer.
en: Presión
Quantization
Noun
Is the process of constraining an input from a continuous or otherwise large set of values (such as the real numbers) to a discrete set (such as the integers).
Example: Quantization is the inevitable result of representing a value as a number with a fixed number of decimal places.
en: Cuantización
Sampling
Noun
Is the reduction of a continuous-time signal to a discrete-time signal.
Example: Sampling analog signals makes them discrete in time.
en: Muestreo
Signal
Noun
An electrical impulse or radio wave transmitted or received.
Example: A signal may be considered as an interruption in a field of constant energy transfer.
en: Señal
Systems
Noun
A set of things working together as parts of a mechanism or an interconnecting network.
Example: It may seem disorganized, but there is some system involved.
en: Sistemas
Unit step function
Noun
Is a step function, named after Oliver Heaviside (1850–1925), the value of which is zero for negative arguments and one for positive arguments.
Example: The unit step function was originally developed in operational calculus for the solution of differential equations.
en: Función de paso unitario
Vessel
Noun
A ship or large boat.
Example: This vessel has not come to be praised or worshiped.
