Tanks German

Nutsche Filters A nutsche is one of the simplest batch filters. It is a tank with a false bottom, perforated or porous, which may either support a filter medium or act as the filter medium. The shiny is fed into the filter vessel, and separation occurs by gravity flow, gas pressure, vacuum, or a combination of these forces. The term nutsche comes from the German term for sucking, and vacuum is the common operating mode. 

The German Federal Institute for Material Testing (BAM) carried out full-scale fire tests on commercial liquefied-propane storage tanks. Tank volume was 4.85 m in each test (Schoen et al. 1989 Droste and Schoen 1988 Schulz-Forberg et al. 1984). Unprotected and protected tanks filled with propane (50% filled) were exposed to a fire. In some tests, the propane was preheated.

Notwithstanding the emphasis placed on tanks by Churchill, Fuller and Liddell Hart, this notable British invention had its limitations. British tanks first went into action on 15 September 1916, only nine months after the trials of the first practical machine, and before the inevitable teething problems had been eliminated. French tanks were developed independently but did not see action for another seven months, and the first two types of chars de combat were inferior to the British Mark I in their ability to cross obstacles. The first German tanks did not appear in action until 1918 and again cross-country performance was poor. The British Mark I was prone to mechanical breakdowns, especially on broken ground, as on the Somme battlefield. 

Britain contributed technical innovation, industrial and financial power, and military manpower to the Allied victory. Hydrophones, tanks and aircraft are obvious examples of new weapons, and hardly suggest industrial backwardness or military conservatism. However, innovation with traditional weapons was no less important. New scientific artillery techniques made a bigger contribution to the defeat of the German army in 1918 than the more publicised tank. Even new weapons depended upon tactical innovation to be effective. The army s success was possible only when the different arms - artillery, infantry, tanks (when available) and aircraft - had learned to operate together. The navy s success over the U-boat required the adoption of the convoy system as well as the development of hydrophones. 

The performance of the British army in the Second World War has been criticised on two broad grounds first, its tactical doctrine second, its equipment. According to Elizabeth Kier, defeat by the Germans in 1940 was the result of the British army s defensive doctrine, whereby superior firepower was a pre-condition of manoeuvre, the purpose of tanks was to support the infantry, and the mobile or armoured division... 

A number of factors contributed to the Allied defeat. German dive bombers acted as mobile artillery, and the concentrated mass of panzer divisions overwhelmed the widely dispersed French tanks and advanced to the Channel, cutting the Allied armies in two. The British Tank...
