Abstract

Equation (1.5) from Chap. 1 may also be used to define an efficiency or power coefficient \(0 \le c_P \le 1\).

Ich halte dafür, daß das einzige Ziel der Wissenschaft darin besteht, die Mühseligkeit der menschlichen Existenz zu erleichtern (Presumably for the principle that science’s sole aim must be to lighten the burden of human existence, B. Brecht) [1].
