A simple heat exchanger network has been studied as
an example of a dynamically interactive process. The
process is relatively simple, requiring only temperature
measurements and flow rate manipulations. Equations are
presented for the design of a physical process having a
specified steady-state Relative Gain Array and specified
dynamic characteristics....
The long-term evolution of Gaussian eddies is studied in an equivalent barotropic model using both linear and nonlinear quasi-geostrophic theory in an attempt to understand westward propagating satellite altimetry tracked mesoscale eddies. By examining both individual eddies and a large basin seeded with eddies, it is shown that long term...
Southwest Oregon presents an environment of hot dry summers, cool moist winters, and rocky, shallow soils. The establishment of conifer plantations in this region presents challenging problems for initial seedling survival and subsequent growth. Three areas of concern include early conifer growth after seedling establishment, growth of competing hardwoods within...
