An engine order telegraph or E.O.T., also referred to as a Chadburn, [1] is a communications device used on a ship (or submarine) for the pilot on the bridge to order engineers in the engine room to power the vessel at a certain desired speed.

The same operating point on the map has the same axial and peripheral mach numbers, same velocity triangles, same efficiency [23] despite the actual rotor speed and compressor inlet temperature being 4750 RPM/60degF on the ground and 7,000RPM/over 600 degF at Mach 3. [24] [25] The same corrected operating point required the same solution to ...
However, a common temperature and pressure in use by NIST for thermodynamic experiments is 298.15 K (25 °C, 77 °F) and 1 bar (14.5038 psi, 100 kPa). [ 4 ] [ 5 ] NIST also uses 15 °C (288.15 K, 59 °F) for the temperature compensation of refined petroleum products, despite noting that these two values are not exactly consistent with each other.
In the case of degrees of angular arc, the degree symbol follows the number without any intervening space, e.g. 30°.The addition of minute and second of arc follows the degree units, with intervening spaces (optionally, non-breaking space) between the sexagesimal degree subdivisions but no spaces between the numbers and units, for example 30° 12 ′ 5″.
The Fahrenheit scale (/ ˈ f æ r ə n h aɪ t, ˈ f ɑː r-/) is a temperature scale based on one proposed in 1724 by the European physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686–1736). [1] ...
Robert Dahlander, a Swedish engineer working for ASEA, [3] discovered that switching the poles in a motor led to a reduction in the speed of the motor. In 1897 he invented an electrical configuration to switch between poles in a motor for which he was granted a patent along with his co-worker Karl Arvid Lindström.
