Overview: Steam-Water Phase Change in OTEC Systems
This paper presents an overview of the thermodynamics and the heat and mass transfer processes occurring in OTEC systems utilizing seawater as the working fluid....
An Analytical Synoptic-Dynamic Study About the Severe Weather Event Over the City of Rio De Janeiro on January 2, 1987
The paper reviews the synoptic parameters that lead to the severe weather occurred on January 2, 1987 over the city of Rio de Janeiro. The pattern of this weather was reported on the newspapers...
Stabilization of Critical Enclosed Natural Draft Ground Flares
This paper presents the results of an investigation evaluating the causes of and implementing a cost effective solution to combustion driven oscillations in six large natural draft flares....
Modelling of Contaminant Transport in Clays Via Irreversible Thermodynamics
This study develops a model for the analysis and prediction of contaminant transport in soils using principles of irreversible thermodynamics. The developed model includes five parameters...
Thermodynamic Factors in Evapotranspiration
Many of the methods discussed in this paper are refinements of procedures presented in the report 'Consumptive Use of Water and Irrigation Water Requirements'...
Simulation of River Ice Cover Growth and Decay
A model of ice cover thermodynamics was used to simulate ice growth and decay along the international section of the St. Lawrence River for the winter of 1980-81. At the air-ice interface,...
