Climate models do not explicitly account for the smaller scale processes of ocean surface waves. However, many large-scale phenomena are essentially coupled with In particular, waves enhance mixing in upper and thereby accelerate response to atmospheric changes. Here, we introduced a representation wave-induced turbulent into one-way ACCESS-OM2-025 model study its effect on heat content through...

Experimental study of flow boiling heat transfer in a microchannel array consisting of main channels connected to two auxiliary channels (each) was conducted. A microbubble-excited actuation mechanism, powered by high frequency vapor bubble growth and collapse, was established to create and sustain strong mixing in the microchannels. It was shown to significantly enhance flow boiling heat trans...

the mixing behavior of the gas-liquid phase in three loop bioreactors was investigated. a gas-induced external airlift loop bioreactor (ealb), a forced-liquid vertical tubular loop bioreactor (vtlb) and a forced-liquid horizontal tubular loop bioreactor (htlb) were used for mixing studies as well as biomass production from natural gas. the effect of design parameters, riser to downcomer cross s...

In this study, the mixing phenomena and fluid dynamics in a copper converter have been experimentally investigated using a physical model. The physical model is a 1:5 horizontal tank made of Plexiglas. The mixing phenomena have been characterized by experimentally measuring the mixing time using a tracer dispersion technique. Moreover, the effects of the air flow rate and lance submergence on t...

Water temperature profiles, weather data, and lake level data spanning a 2-year period for Lake Valencia, Venezuela (10”N, 67”W), are used in an analysis of thermal regime, mixing, ancl heat flux, The lake, which has an arca of 350 km2 and mean depth of 19 m, is warm monomictic; it becomes isothermal annually near the end of November, at the onset of the dry season. The water column during stra...

Stability of the ocean of magnetic neutron stars is considered. We argued that the ocean is unstable if the temperature varies along the surface. The instability grows on a time scale ∼0.1−100 s depending on the lengthscale of perturbations and generates a weak turbulence. Turbulence can be responsible for mixing between the surface and deep ocean layers and can enhance heat transport in the su...

A mixing rule for the mixtures of hard-spheres is presented which can be reduced to the standard van der Waals mixing rule at low densities. The effectiveness of the mixing rule for the size and energy parameters of lennard-Jones fluid are examined by combining them with an equation of state to calculate thermodynamic properties. The results of calculation are compared with the molecular dy...

Charge transport and chemical reactions during charging and discharging of a battery produce heat that determines temperature behaviors. The elevated temperature causes undesired side reactions that accelerate degradation and potentially result in catastrophic operating conditions like a thermal runaway. The heat generated in an operating battery is generally approximated by the sum of the reve...
