Abstract: The interannual variability of surface meteorological fields over the Indian Ocean during the period 1954?76 is studied using 2 million ship reports obtained from different sources. Monthly mean fields of wind, pressure, ...

Abstract: The steady, diffusive transport of discretely settling, single‐sized solids through a primary, shallow, rectangular clarifier is modeled in this study. The analysis proceeds in the assumed absence of fluid stratification, ...

Abstract: A reduction by a factor of 10 in the population-weighted rate of lightning-caused deaths over the last century has been determined in several previous studies. The reasons have been attributed to a number of factors, but ...

Abstract: In selecting the materials for the Canadian supercritical water-cooled reactor (SCWR), the effects and extent of stress corrosion cracking (SCC) on candidate alloys of construction, under various operational conditions, ...

Abstract: A series of austenitic alloys (800H, H214, I625, 310S, and 347) with different surface finishes were exposed to supercritical water (SCW) at 550 °C and 2.5 × 107 Pa for 120 h, 260 h, and 450 h in a static autoclave with ...

Abstract: Abstract. A versatile procedure is presented for simulating the growth and thermal impact of deposition in representative gas turbine cooling circuits. The methodology comprises the following sequence: (1) employ computational ...

Abstract: Two waterspouts were observed aloft from a private aircraft recently near Lower Matecumbe Key, Florida. Color slides and zoom movies of both waterspout vortices on the sea surface and aloft were obtained. A detailed ...

Abstract: Advance warning signals are installed upstream of high-speed signalized intersections to warn motorists of impending signal changes. A new advance warning signal design was tested on an approach to a high-speed signalized ...
