scaling factor

[′skāl·iŋ ‚fak·tər]
(electronics)
The number of input pulses per output pulse of a scaling circuit. Also known as scaling ratio.
(engineering)
Factor used in heat-exchange calculations to allow for the loss in heat conductivity of a material because of the development of surface scale, as inside pipelines and heat-exchanger tubes.
(physics)
A constant of proportionality which appears in a scaling law.

In the attempt to determine the aspect of reliability for LLR, Florence Alberge [29] developed a mutual data-driven rule for scaling factor between the extrinsic elements.
Furthermore, the best estimate of scaling factor of the R7x for anthropogenic forcings is 0.92 (CI: 0.08-1.91; 0.86 with CI 0.18-1.63 in the HadGEM3A-based system), as derived via two-signal analyses (Figs.
Also, the hardware degradation effect on the EE is analyzed through various values of the scaling factor g (g x [epsilon] {0, 1/4, and 1/2}) and by using the power scaling law as shown in the following equation [11, 12]:
The transformation can be interpreted, approximately, as the effect of a time dilation which is determined by the scaling factor [[chi].sub.p].
