Abstract: A new approach to modeling counterflow heat exchangers is presented which takes into account variations of the heat transfer coefficients with respect to fluid flow rates and temperatures. The ...

Abstract: The conditions of film formation and of film separation are examined experimentally and theoretically in a line Hertzian contact when the inlet region is partially filled with oil, in steady ...

Abstract: The use of simultaneous infrared measurements to derive the temperature and emissivity of semi-transparent cirrus clouds is experimentally investigated. Results from the NASA/CONVAIR-990 Winter Experiment Program, 1977 ...

Abstract: arameterizing deep convection at model resolutions of a few kilometers or less requires diverging from several simplifying assumptions valid at coarser resolutions. The separation or complementarity between the deep-convection ...

Abstract: t is a simple truism that public policy must be guided by an objective analysis of the physical and economic consequences of climate change. It is equally true that policy making is an inherently value-laden endeavor. While ...

Abstract: Data obtained during the Hawaii-to-Tahiti Shuttle Experiment in the central Pacific from the Equator to 17°S are used to study the variability of the two eastward flowing currents in the area: the South Equatorial ...

Abstract: A sandwich technique which utilizes an embedded polariscope consisting of two sheets of polarizing material cemented within a plastic model was evaluated for application to three-dimensional ...
