The square-cube law - common in many engineering calculations - is expected to be critical to the orbital airship design.
Then he set to work on a series of sketches and engineering calculations for his space kite's cosmic reactor.
The causeway was prone to collapse right up until 1940 when modern engineering calculations revealed the cause to be the design of the sluices.
All chapters focus on first-order engineering calculations.
Gravity would only have an impact in how it affects pressure, which is important on planet scales, but not in normal engineering calculations.
But design work and engineering calculations have also been applied to the problem of replacing bearings with superconducting magnets.
This means the savings may be predicted by engineering calculations, and they are sustained over time.
Values based on approximations (particularly ) are in many cases not sufficiently accurate for practical engineering calculations such as flow rates through pipes and valves.
As far as power need and other engineering calculations, you need to do some study.
As with most engineering calculations, simplifying assumptions were made.
