  2. Pomodoro Technique - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique

    Go back to Step 2 and repeat until you complete four pomodori. After four pomodori are done, take a long break (typically 20 to 30 minutes) instead of a short break. Once the long break is finished, return to step 2. For the purposes of the technique, a pomodoro is an interval of work time. [1]

    The US Navy air decompression tables allow flying with a cabin altitude of 8000 feet for repetitive group C, which results from a bottom time of 61 to 88 minutes at a depth of 15 feet (4.6 m), or a bottom time of 102 to 158 minutes at a depth of 10 feet (3.0 m).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumpjack

    A short video recording of such a pump in action can be viewed on YouTube. [ 6 ] Although the flow rate for a water well pumpjack is lower than that from a jet pump and the lifted water is not pressurised, the beam pumping unit has the option of hand pumping in an emergency, by hand-rotating the pumpjack cam to its lowest position, and ...

  7. Brake-specific fuel consumption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake-specific_fuel...

    In traditional units, it measures fuel consumption in pounds per hour divided by the brake horsepower, lb/(hp⋅h); in SI units, this corresponds to the inverse of the units of specific energy, kg/J = s 2 /m 2. It may also be thought of as power-specific fuel consumption, for this reason. BSFC allows the fuel efficiency of different engines to ...

    The pump-turbine units were uprated in July 1972 from their initial rating of 175 MW each to 204 MW each, increasing the plant's overall rating from 350 MW to 408 MW. [ 3 ] [ 16 ] From 1998–1999, the turbine runners for both units were upgraded, resulting in improved flow rates and another power uprate to 225 MW per unit (450 MW total).
