On the Equilibrium of Cavitation Nuclei in Liquid-Gas Solutions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The stability of a spherical bubble in a two-component two-phase system is examined by employing the thermodynamic theory of dilute solutions. It is shown that a bubble can remain in a state ...
Effects of Friction and Extraction on the Stability of Solar Ponds
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Experimental results were compared to theoretical stability criteria of a salt gradient solar pond. Cellular motion in the nonconvective layer may be caused by instablity. Extension of stability ...
Modeling of the Surface Convective Layer of Salt-Gradient Solar Ponds
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A one-dimensional numerical model is developed to predict the diurnal variations of vertical temperature and concentration profiles in salt-gradient solar ponds. The model employs augmented thermal ...
