HOMOGENEOUS NUCLEATION OF SUPERCOOLED WATER DROPS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The experimentally observed crystallization of supercooled water near ?40C is examined in terms of the theory of homogeneous nucleation. The thermodynamic and molecular-kinetic nature, of the nucleation process is outlined ...
THE SHAPE AND AERODYNAMICS OF LARGE RAINDROPS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The physical factors which might be expected to control the shape of large raindrops are surface tension, hydrostatic pressures, external aerodynamic pressure, electrostatic charge, and internal circulation. Each of these ...
Visibility Reduction due to Jet-Exhaust Carbon Particles
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Pyrolysis of hydrocarbon fuels leads to emission of free carbon in the exhaust of aircraft turbojet engines, visible as a faint dark trail. Carbon formation rises markedly when water injection is employed to augment thrust ...
