Discussion: “Experiences With Hydraulic Prime Mover Controls” (Schleif, F. R., and Johnstone, L. M., 1961, ASME J. Eng. Power, 83, pp. 189–192)

Closure to “Discussion of ‘Factors of Safety for Richardson Extrapolation’ ” (2011, ASME J. Fluids Eng., 133, p. 115501)

The Technical Brief by Roache [1] presents ten items of discussion of our factor of safety (FS) method for solution verification [2]. Our responses are listed below item-by-item using the same numbering as Roache. The nomenclature mostly follows our own and not Roache’s such as pRE for the order of accuracy calculated using the Richardson Extrapolation as opposed to the observed order of conver...

Technological innovations in the field of prime movers have recently made a rapid progress as represented in cars and engines. In the Department of Prime Mover Engineering, research, design and manufacture are carried out with respect to lean burn engine, alternative fuel engine, electric vehicles such as hybrid cars, linear motor cars by use of magnetic levitation, and energy-saving solar cars...

The reliability of the narrative of the Biblical Exodus has been subject of heated debate for decades. Recent archaeological studies seem to provide new insight of the exodus path, and although with a still controversial chronology, the effects of the Minoan Santorini eruption have been proposed as a likely explanation of the biblical plagues. Particularly, it has been suggested that flooding b...

I f A is an algebra and n < co then pn(A) denotes the number of n-ary term operations of A that depend on all n variables. Let ~r denote the class of all algebras of type (2, 2) in which both basic operations are commutative and idempotent. In [6, Problem 17] G. Gr/itzer and A. Kisielewicz ask whether there exists A~Cg satisfying p2(A) = 2 and such that for all B ~ cg, i fpz(B) = 2 then p~(B) >...
