The car is powered by two modified JCB 444 diesel power plants using a two-stage turbocharger to generate 750 bhp (560 kW), one engine driving the front wheels and the other the rear wheels. On 22 August 2006 the Dieselmax, driven by Andy Green , broke the diesel engine land speed record, attaining a speed of 328.767 mph (529.099 km/h).
The two-sided preconditioned system = may be beneficial, e.g., to preserve the matrix symmetry: if the original matrix is real symmetric and real preconditioners and satisfy = then the preconditioned matrix is also symmetric.
JCB (heavy equipment manufacturer), a British manufacturer of heavy industrial and agricultural vehicles JCB (callsign JAYSEEBEE; ICAO airline code JCB); see List of airline codes (J) JCB (credit card company), originally Japan Credit Bureau, a credit card company based in Tokyo, Japan; JCB (wine label), a wine label by vinter Jean-Charles Boisset
Avoirdupois is a system of mass based on a pound of 16 ounces, while Troy weight is the system of mass where 12 troy ounces equals one troy pound. The symbol g 0 is used to denote standard gravity in order to avoid confusion with the (upright) g symbol for gram.
Planck units is system of geometrized units in which the reduced Planck constant is included in the list of defining constants. It is based on only properties of free space rather than of any object or particle. Stoney units is a system of geometrized units in which the Coulomb constant and the elementary charge are included.
The CGS system had two units of energy, the erg that was related to mechanics and the calorie that was related to thermal energy; so only one of them (the erg) could bear a coherent relationship to the base units. Coherence was a design aim of SI, which resulted in only one unit of energy being defined – the joule. [20]
historical definitions of the units and their derivatives used in old measurements; e.g., international foot vs. US survey foot. For some purposes, conversions from one system of units to another are needed to be exact, without increasing or decreasing the precision of the expressed quantity.
When that multiplier is one, the unit is called a coherent derived unit. For example, the coherent derived SI unit of velocity is the metre per second, with the symbol m/s. [1]: 139 The base and coherent derived units of the SI together form a coherent system of units (the set of coherent SI units). A useful property of a coherent system is ...
