RISThe Dependence of the Motion of Cyclonic and Anticyclonic Vortices on Their Size
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A statistical analysis of the daily displacement and size of cyclones and anticyclones appearing over the Northern Hemisphere for a 2-yr period is described. The longitudinal motion of both types of vortices is inversely ...
On Asymptotic Approximations to a Class of Regular Perturbation Problems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A new approach to a class of regular perturbation problems of common occurrence in lubrication theory is presented. The approach is not dependent on extensive algebraic manipulation and predicts ...
Steady Flow in Tubes of Slowly Varying Cross Section
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper studies steady incompressible viscous fluid motion in axisymmetric tubes of slowly varying cross section. Theory, which is independent of the actual shape of tube wall profile, is ...
A Global Profiling System for Improved Weather and Climate Prediction
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new long-term global observing system is proposed that would provide routine, detailed vertical profiles of measurements in the atmosphere and oceans. The system, which would need to be designed, developed, and operated ...
SOME CHARACTERISTICS OF THE EPPLEY PYRHELIOMETER
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Tests were made of the effect of several variables on the performance of the Eppley pyrheliometer. The tests showed: (1) How the output increased with decreasing ambient temperature; (2) how output varied with angle of ...
On the Apparent Relationship between Convective Activity and the Shape of 500 mb Troughs
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A study was made of the surface occurrence of convective activity during the late spring and summer months for an eight-year period over a region of the central United States. It was found that there was a significant ...
On a Type of Strongly Divergent Steady State
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The atmosphere is idealized into two kinematic steady states. The first, common in the earth's atmosphere, is rotational and quasi?nondivergent; the second is divergent and quasi?irrotational (with respect to space). A ...
Enhanced Surface Cooling as an Alternative for Thermal Discharges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Excess heat is an unavoidable by-product of electricity generation from fossil and nuclear fuels. In most cases, excess heat is transferred to a cooling water stream and discharged to a local receiving water body, or ...
Modeling of In Tube Condensation of Zeotropic Mixtures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Studies in the literature have shown that zeotropic mixture condensation rates are lower than those predicted using a purefluid approach. This has been attributed to the decrease in fluid temperature that occurs with ...
Effect of Temperature Difference on In-Tube Condensation Heat Transfer Coefficients
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The effect of temperature difference (Tsat − Tcoolant) on condensation heat transfer coefficients inside horizontal tubes is investigated in detail. Condensation experiments are conducted on propane inside a 7.75 mm ...
