Quetivel Mill. Quetivel Mill is a working watermill in Saint Peter, Jersey. Its history can be traced to 1309 and the current building dates from the 18th century. It is situated near to the Jersey War Tunnels and upstream from Tesson Mill. Quetivel and Tesson are both in the care of the National Trust for Jersey.

The mill was derelict by 1934 but was brought back into use during the German occupation of the Channel Islands. It was restored again from 1971 to 1979 and the restoration received a commendation from the Civic Trust in 1978. A new water wheel was fitted in 2015.

The mill is open to the public and its operation is occasionally demonstrated, producing flour for sale, but it is not in continuous production.

List of carbon fiber monocoque cars. This is a list of production cars with carbon-fiber monocoque cell design.

Carbon-fiber monocoque design has been commonly used in racing cars since the 1980s, like Formula racing and Le Mans series prototypes. The first production car with carbon-fiber monocoque design was the MCA Centenaire. Now many modern sports cars have carbon-fiber monocoque cells, and some big car manufacturers have also started applying the same in passenger cars like the BMW i3.

Eligible cars
For the purposes of this list, a production car is defined as a vehicle that:

 has a carbon-fiber monocoque/tub.
 is constructed principally for retail sale to consumers, for their personal use, to transport people on public roads. No commercial or industrial vehicles are eligible.
 is available for commercial sale to the public.
 is manufactured by a manufacturer whose WMI number is shown on the VIN, including vehicles that are modified by either professional tuners or others that result in a VIN with a WMI number in their name. (For example, if a Porsche-based car is remanufactured by RUF and has RUF's WMI W09, it is eligible; but if it has Porsche's WMI, WP0, it is not eligible.)
 is street-legal in its intended markets, having fulfilled the homologation tests or inspections required under the law of either the United States of America, the European Union, or Japan to be granted this status.
 is sold in more than one national market.

Project Charles. Project Charles was a summer study group held at  Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), of which F.W. Loomis was the appointed head.

An agreement was made between U.S. General Gordon P. Saville, Louis Ridenour, Ivan Getting and John McCone of the U.S. Air Force and designated leaders of MIT, for the formation of the project.  Preceding events such as the Korean War and the first detonation of a nuclear device  by the then U.S.S.R., during the 29th of August 1949, were possible catalysts and pre-conditions for the military to find it necessary to form the project.  Initially a letter contract was issued during January the 30th of 1951, and the two parties entered into contractual obligations during the 6th of August 1951 via Basic Agreement AF18(600)-11. The agreement was formalized as AF19(122)-458 during February 1952, and continued until the 1st day of January 1959.

At its initiation, the task of the project was to address by analysis, the problem of the development of technology to use for an effective air defence of the U.S.   The goal of the project was to create a network of computers connected to a command centre in order to organise a response to a threat from  within U.S. air-space.

The project was active during February 1951,  and released its report during the 1st day of August of the same year.

MITRE Corporation assumed the responsibilities identified as the project from January the 1st 1959,  and the work developed ultimately into  the SAGE project.

CubETH. CubETH is a Swiss satellite project. As of 2015, it is being developed by several Swiss academic and industrial partners. The spacecraft is a single unit CubeSat and therefore 10 x 10 x 10 cm (3.9 x 3.9 x 3.9 in) in size. Its main goal is to prove the feasibility of attitude and orbit determination with low cost commercial off-the-shelf GNSS-receivers.

Aims 
CubETH is a technology demonstration mission. The first goal is to prove that low cost receivers can be used for positioning in space. The orbit as well as the attitude of the spacecraft will be computed on board the satellite and send to a station on earth. The post-processing of the data will allow a first plausibility check. In order to fulfil an external validation, CubETH will be equipped with satellite laser ranging reflectors for range measurements from ground stations.

Satellite structure 
The upper face of the satellite will be equipped with four GNSS antennas. The four side faces hold the solar panels for electricity generation. A fifth GNSS antenna is mounted on one of the lateral faces. The communication antenna is located on the lower, earth looking face. The whole flight electronics is located inside the satellite. In addition to the five GNSS antennas and the SLR-reflectors, The payload consists of the GNSS receivers and the necessary hardware. The GNSS receiver chips are developed and manufactured by the Swiss company U-blox. The main advantage of these commercial chip-sets is the low power consumption and the small size. However, the chips are not certified for space applications and a risk assessment is part of the project. For redundancy reasons, the satellite is equipped with ten receivers, each antenna being connected to two of them.

Project partners 
The Geodesy and Geodynamics Lab of ETH Zurich holds the scientific leadership and is responsible for the payload data processing software. EPFL and the Swiss Space Center (SSC) are in charge of project management and the realization of the satellite bus. Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts develops the payload hardware and the ground station. RF and antenna-design is provided by Hochschule für Technik Rapperswil. Further project partners are HES-SO (academic partner), u-blox (industrial partner), RUAG Space (industrial partner) and Saphyrion (industrial partner).

Status 
CubETH is currently under development. The launch was planned for 2017.

Levenspiel plot. A Levenspiel plot is a plot used in chemical reaction engineering to determine the required volume of a chemical reactor given experimental data on the chemical reaction taking place in it. It is named after the late chemical engineering professor Octave Levenspiel.

Derivation
For a continuous stirred-tank reactor (CSTR), the following relationship applies:

where:
 is the reactor volume
 is the molar flow rate per unit time of the entering reactant A
 is the conversion of reactant A
 is the rate of disappearance of reactant A per unit volume per unit time

For a plug flow reactor (PFR), the following relationship applies:

If  is plotted as a function of , the required volume to achieve a specific conversion can be determined given an entering molar flow rate.

The volume of a CSTR necessary to achieve a certain conversion at a given flow rate is equal to the area of the rectangle with height equal to  and width equal to .

The volume of a PFR necessary to achieve a certain conversion at a given flow rate is equal to the area under the curve of  plotted against .
