NOTE ON ADVECTIVE PRESSURE CHANGES

Influence of Altitude Atmospheric Pressure on Octane Requirement (RESEARCH NOTE).

The normal specifications of motor gasolines as well as their combustion characteristics in internal combustion engines are reviewed in this paper. The effective factors influencing the fuel performance, such as the molecular structure of the fuel constituents, the operating conditions and the atmospheric pressure and temperature are also discussed. A relationship between the optimum octane num...

Advective Disks

Recent work on advection-dominated accretion flows (ADAFs) is reviewed. The article concentrates on an optically thin branch of ADAFs which is present at mass accretion rates below a critical value ∼ (10 −2 − 10 −1) the Eddington rate. Models based on this branch have been quite successful at explaining a number of low-luminosity X-ray bi-naries and galactic nuclei, and some brighter systems. S...

A note on measurement of sound pressure with intensity probes

Effect of CO2 Partial Pressure on the Thermal Decomposition Kinetics of Zinc Carbonate Hydroxide (TECHNICAL NOTE)

In this work, the effect of carbon dioxide partial pressure on the calcination kinetics of high purity zinc carbonate hydroxide has been studied. Non-isothermal analysis has been performed on samples at different CO2 partial pressures by TGA and DTA. It has been found that the calcination behaviour of this material corresponds to the shrinking core model and the reaction mechanism is phase boun...

Pathways for advective transport

Advective transport in the ocean fundamentally is Lagrangian in nature. At model grid scales, this transport is parameterized by eddy or turbulent exchange coefficients in analogy to molecular diffusion. Nevertheless, much of the transport is by advection on scales larger than the grid cell yet smaller than basin scale. Moreover, flow at these scales tends to be nonstationary in time and irregu...
