Concetto Gianino, “Experimental analysis of the Italian coffee pot “moka””, in American Journal of Physics, Volume 75, Issue 1, January 2007, pp. 43-47.
Abstract
I describe an experiment involving the moka Italian coffee pot. The pot is an ingenious device for making coffee that uses the liquid-vapor equation of state of the water and Darcy’s law of linear filtration. The filtration coefficient of coffee is measured and a steam engine model is used to estimate the efficiency of the coffee pot.
How To Develop a Theory of Truth
January 3rd, 2007 § 0
Wittgenstein’s ideas concerning truth were rather generally adopted by the early Viennese Circle. The first to raise doubts, which soon developed into a very energetic opposition, was Dr. Neurath. The first who recognised the importance of Neurath’s ideas was Prof. Carnap. He joined some of his most important theses and gave them a more precise form, and he and Neurath, mutually exciting each other, developed these ideas to the theory of truth we shall deal with.
