These physical differences are standard across the memory industry. One of the reasons for industry-wide standardization in memory is that computer makers need to know the electrical parameters and physical shape of the memory that can be installed in their computers. To prevent users from inserting incompatible memory, modules are physically different for each memory technology generation. Generally, components are created to the highest standard at the time of manufacture, but with the expectation that technology will continue to change. Memory must be compatible with the other components in a computer system. Each successive generation is faster and uses less energy. Memory standards are controlled by JEDEC, the Joint Electron Device Engineering Council, an independent semiconductor engineering trade organization and standardization body.

The next generation of memory, DDR2, is faster and uses less energy than the original DDR. Using both beats to transfer data makes double data rate memory significantly faster than single data-rate memory, which used only one edge of the clock signal to transfer data. Double data-rate is different than dual-channel memory, learn about dual-channel memory here. A clock signal is made up of both a downbeat and an upbeat. DDR was both faster and used less energy than SDR. DDR memory transfers data to the processor on both the rising and falling edges of the clock signal. Double data rate, or DDR, was developed, and the previous technology became known as single data rate, or SDR. Synchronous memory synchronizes the memory module's responses with the system bus.Īs other computer components increased their speed, memory speed also needed to increase. Previously, memory had to be asynchronous, that is, it operated independently of the processor. As soon as the engine doesn't need to suck, and air is forced into the inlet - you have reached the ram recovery point.SDRAM (synchronous dynamic random access memory) was developed in response to increased speed in other computer components. In an idle engine run on the ground, the engine has to suck in air. You reach the ram recovery point as soon as the inlet pressure (ram pressure) is greater than the ambient pressure. (From the Dale Crane part 66 Powerplant book). Here is a graph showing the result of ram recovery speed, and the point where the forces are equal. Though you could see the ram recovery point as the moment the airspeed effect on thrust and and the ram effect on thrust are equal.

I had a chat about this with my turbine engine teacher, which changed my understanding on the subject. This happens because you push the air molecules together. Ram pressure increases when you fly into the air molecules fast.

In class, we haven't talked about it as a specific recovery point.īut as a gradual increase in thrust based on airspeed.Īirspeed thrust decreases as the altitude increases.

As density increases, and if we assume constant RPM (and thus volume) the mass of the air flowing through the engine increases.Īt some point the increased mass flow $Q$ has compensated the loss of velocity change in the engine and thrust has reached its stationary engine value. That means that the density of air in the inlet increases. The thrust ( $T$) of an engine is $T = Q(V_$ increases, the net result is that engine begins to lose thrust.īut as the speed increases past about Mach 0.2, which equals approximately 130kts at sea level at standard day conditions, the air being packed (rammed) in the engine inlet begins to compress due to increasing pressure.
