RISAn Experimental Study on Flow Boiling Heat Transfer From a Downward-Facing Finned Surface and Its Effect on Critical Heat Flux
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: During a severe accident, ex-vessel cooling may pose a risk for larger-powered reactors. The current in-vessel retention (IVR) (through ex-vessel cooling) capability may not be sufficient for the larger-powered reactors, ...
A Hybrid Surface Reference Technique and Its Application to the TRMM Precipitation Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Satellite weather radars that operate at attenuating wavelengths require an estimate of path attenuation to reconstruct the range profile of rainfall. One such method is the surface reference technique (SRT), by which ...
Statistical Methods of Estimating Average Rainfall over Large Space–Timescales Using Data from the TRMM Precipitation Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Data from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) precipitation radar represent the first global rain-rate dataset acquired by a spaceborne weather radar. Because the radar operates at an attenuating wavelength, one ...
The Status of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) after Two Years in Orbit
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite was launched on 27 November 1997, and data from all the instruments first became available approximately 30 days after the launch. Since then, much progress has been ...
Retrieval of Latent Heating from TRMM Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Rainfall is a fundamental process within the Earth's hydrological cycle because it represents a principal forcing term in surface water budgets, while its energetics corollary, latent heating, is the principal source of ...
