Under ideal ( adiabatic ) conditions, the exponent would be 1. 4, but a lower value, generally between 1. 2 and 1. 3 is used, since the amount of heat lost will vary among engines based on design, size and materials used, but provides useful results for purposes of comparison.

" For me ," he said, " the important distinction is between a stylistic approach to the design ; and an analytical approach giving the process of due consideration to time, place, and purpose ... My analytical approach requires a full understanding of the three essential elements ... to arrive at an ideal balance among them.

Towards the end of the war, the Dornier Do 335 Pfeil could have been an ideal twin-engined Zerstörer fighter design for the Luftwaffe due to its center-line-thrust format, which placed its fuselage-mounted twin engines ' propellers on opposing ends of the fuselage, and potentially allowed much better maneuverability, and did allow dramatically higher speeds ( just over 750 km / h or 465 mph ), than any other twin-piston-engined aircraft of its era, but like so many other advanced German aircraft designs that were actually produced by Germany late in the war, the Do 335 never had the chance to be produced in quantity.

Because of their irregular shape and incomplete design, cobs were ideal candidates for clipping and counterfeiting.

These more advanced installations often include sophisticated acoustic design elements, including " room-in-a-room " construction that isolates sound and provides the potential for a nearly ideal listening environment.

The design also corrected the balance of volume between singers and orchestra, creating ideal acoustics for Wagner's operas, which are the only operas performed at the Festspielhaus.

Both these works appear, in design, to have owed something to Thomas Stothard ; Chantrey knew his own scantiness of ideal invention or composition, and always sought aid from others for such attempts.

An ideal PDE design can have a thermodynamic efficiency higher than other designs like turbojets and turbofans because a detonation wave rapidly compresses the mixture and adds heat at constant volume.

They argue that this new ideal type of person and society can and should be engineered by all means available including using the mass media and primary schools to manufacture them " by design " ( pp. 389, 395 ).

* While cantennas are useful for extending a wireless local area network ( WLAN ), the tiny design makes them ideal for mobile applications such as wardriving.

Although the way in which sound interacts with its surroundings is often complex, there are a few ideal sound wave behaviors that are fundamental to understanding acoustical design.

Light's design for Adelaide is noted as one of the last great planned metropolises ; the city's grid layout, with alternating wide and narrow streets, interspaced with five public squares, has made it an ideal modern city, able to cope with traffic, and the Adelaide Parklands that surround it provide a " city in a park " feel.

The stability and design robustness of several folding kayak models makes them ideal for upwind and downwind sailing.

The ideal home, they agreed, would be a small private house or a city apartment of four to five rooms, just enough for a family consisting of husband, wife, and two children.

Thus the cocktail party would appear to be the ideal system, but there is one weakness.

Even if the self portrait we distribute for popular consumption were accurate it would be dangerous to present it as a picture of the ideal society.

While Aristotle censors literature only for the young, Plato would banish all poets from his ideal state.

With Herberet's blessing, he was convinced that Allstates' Wisconsin folly would be ideal for conversion to airplane sub-assembly, tanks, missiles or ordnance of some kind.

In 1968, he was cited by William F. Buckley as one of several historical figures whose best qualities would be emulated by the ideal President.

Consequently the Gaussian theory only supplies a convenient method of approximating to reality ; and no constructor would attempt to realize this unattainable ideal.

An ideal amplifier would be a totally linear device, but real amplifiers are only linear within limits.

On the other hand, were surface regions with lower energy available, the water occupying surface locations of higher potential energy would move to occupy these positions of lower energy, inasmuch as there is no barrier to lateral movement in an ideal liquid.

The particular characteristics of this ideal observer can vary from an omniscient observer, who would grasp all the consequences of any action, to an ideally informed observer, who knows as much as could reasonably be expected, but not necessarily all the circumstances or all the possible consequences.

Diamond's very high scratch resistance and thermal conductivity, combined with a lower coefficient of thermal expansion than Pyrex glass, a coefficient of friction close to that of Teflon ( Polytetrafluoroethylene ) and strong lipophilicity would make it a nearly ideal non-stick coating for cookware if large substrate areas could be coated economically.

* Maturity Levels: a 5-level process maturity continuum-where the uppermost ( 5th ) level is a notional ideal state where processes would be systematically managed by a combination of process optimization and continuous process improvement.

Taoiseach Enda Kenny was quoted to say that Dublin “ would be an ideal candidate to host the World Design Capital in 2014 ”.

While a truly characteristic euphonium sound is rather hard to define precisely, most players would agree that an ideal sound is dark, rich, warm, and velvety, with virtually no hardness to it.

From the outset, this new republic held that film would be the most ideal propaganda tool for the Soviet Union because of its widespread popularity among the established citizenry of the new land ; Vladimir Lenin, in fact, declared it the most important medium for educating the masses in the ways, means and successes of Communism, a position which was later echoed by Joseph Stalin.
