Otto is a masculine German given name and a surname. It originates as an Old High German short form (variants Audo, Odo, Udo) of Germanic names beginning in aud-, an element meaning "wealth, prosperity".The name is recorded from the 7th century (Odo, son of Uro, courtier of Sigebert III). It was the name of three 10th-century German kings, the first of whom was Otto I the Great, the first Holy Roman Emperor, founder of the Ottonian dynasty.
The Gothic form of the prefix was auda- (as in e.g. Audaþius), the Anglo-Saxon form was ead- (as in e.g. Eadmund), and the Old Norse form was auð-.
The given name Otis arose from an English surname, which was in turn derived from Ode, a variant form of Odo, Otto.
Due to Otto von Bismarck, the given name Otto was strongly associated with the German Empire in the later 19th century. It was comparatively frequently given in the United States (presumably in German American families) during the 1880s to 1890s, remaining in the top 100 most popular masculine given names in the US throughout 1880–1898, but its popularity decreased significantly after 1900 with increasing anti-German sentiment leading up to World War I; it fell below rank 200 in 1919, below rank 500 in 1947, and below rank 1000 in 1975; it re-entered the top-1000 most popular given names in the US only in the 2010s, ranking 696th as of 2013.
Otto Cycle?? Please help ASAP!
I have a question that my entire class is confused over. I need help on it for a test, but I have no idea where to go with it. It doesn't seem to fit any of the equations or situations I have been using.
The question is: A four-stroke engine runs on the otto...
This is for a 300 level thermodynamics class. I am supposed to write a short paper comparing the 4 stroke engine to the otto cycle.
I thought these were the same thing though?
For my paper, i wrote what the 4 stroke are: intake, compression, power, exhaust...and described each one.
Then...
Please help with the following question, completely lost:
The behavior of a four stroke gasoline engine can be approximated by the so-called Otto cycle. The process is as follows (6 steps):
1) Isobaric Intake (from V=0) at atmospheric pressure up to volume V1 (maximal volume)...
Has anyone heard about this book? Is it good? I have the 1977 editition. I also have another question: what has changed in biological theory and research since then? Regards.
Hi everyone. Sorry... I hope I don't bore you all - I fear this thread will be nowhere near as interesting as the most recent one on this forum on why aircraft fly! Anyway, I have a question relating to the Otto cycle - I'm revising my thermodynamics for an exam and on 1 of the past papers it...
