Observations from the International Winter Monsoon Experiment (Winter MONEX) have been used to determine temperature changes in the lower troposphere beneath the stratiform components of tropical mesoscale convective systems. It is found that while the apparent heat source Q1 in the lower troposphere beneath the stratiform cloud systems is negative (due to hydrometeor melting and evaporation), ...

The current work presents an experimental study of catalytically assisted self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) of the tantalum/carbon material system. The effects of controlled amounts of two gas-phase transport agents (carbon dioxide and vaporized iodine) were examined. The gas-phase transport agents resulted in burning velocities 2 to 4 times faster than burning velocities observ...

Solvent extraction/evaporation, solvent diffusion/evaporation or any modification in the basic principle of the emulsification technique produces the drug loaded sustained release micro or nanoparticles of desired properties. For understanding the basic principles of these techniques, it is essential for the development of desired objectives. Emulsification is the only step where we can disrupt...

The quantum evaporation experiments of Brown and Wyatt have been re-analysed in the light of a recent measurement of the high-energy phonon spectrum created by a pulse-heated thin film. Two sources of systematic error become significant at the level of the precision required by this new analysis: firstly, in the detector position which is recalibrated by using large-angle roton evaporation; and...

Despite potential evaporation rates in excess of the local precipitation, dry climates often support saline lakes through groundwater inputs of water and associated solutes. These groundwater-fed lakes are important indicators of environmental change, in part because their shallow water levels and salinity are very sensitive to weather and climatic variability. Some of this sensitivity arises f...

A spraying evaporation system applied to brine disposal is reported, which is mainly used for disposing the brine with concentration more than 100,000 mg/L. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation has been carried out to study the brine droplet evaporation and diffusion process in high temperature air flow. A discrete-phase model in spraying evaporation system is developed and a simulat...

Wide used technique of patterning surfaces with solid particles utilizes the evaporation of colloidal droplets from a substrate. In particular, evaporation of liquid samples is a key problem in the development of microarray technology (including labs-on-a chip), especially in the case of open reactors [1]. A plenty of works are devoted to the evaporation of the sessile droplets [2–5]. One assum...
