Abstract: Theoretical models of the Venus cloud layer are compared with observations in the U, B and V spectral regions. It is found that the models are sensitive to the detailed scattering properties of the particles. A model of a ...

Abstract: Recently a number of new power cycles have been proposed in which heat rejection as well as heat addition has been at supercritical pressure. Although a number of working fluids have been ...

Abstract: This paper reports upon a continuing investigation into the Joule-Thomson effect in H2 O. The values of μ are computed over a wide range of temperature and pressure using two independent ...

Abstract: Over a broad range of temperatures and pressures the Joule-Thomson coefficients have been computed from the enthalpy equations developed by the International Formulation Committee, 1967. The ...

Abstract: Shortly after a taxiway and apron extension project was completed on a small airfield in Florida, depressions began to appear in some areas of the pavement surface. The extent and locations of these depressions coincided ...

Abstract: A cycle is proposed in which no condenser cooling water is required. Turbine back-pressure is kept to conventional levels by condensing the steam during the evaporation of a refrigerant. Heat ...
