The purpose of this study is to measure and compare radiation emissions from flames burning large hydrocarbon fuels to assist in understanding how the molecular composition changes radiation emissions. Radiative heat transfer is significant because it is a primary mode of heat transfer for many combustion devices. This study also...
The 4s³P₁ state of argon decays radiatively by a resonance
transition to the 3p⁶¹S₀ ground state; the wavelength of this radiation
is 1067A. By direct observation of the decay of the 1067A radiation
from excited argon gas, a value of 0.93±0.06 x 10⁻⁵ seconds
has been obtained for the natural...
The radiolysis of succinic acid in aqueous solutions induced by
gamma irradiation from ⁶⁰Co has been studied with respect to the
identification and estimation of degradation products. Detailed information
on the radiolysis of succinic acid is important in determining
what effect two carboxyl groups in the same molecule would have...
More than 3700 fertilized toad eggs were used in a series of
studies designed to determine the effects of UV-B radiation (290-
315 nm) on temporal developmental patterns, systematic development
and viability prior to metamorphic climax. The eggs were
exposed to radiation from either "white-light" fluorescent lamps
(Vita-Lite, Duro-Test Corporation,...
Ozone, present in the earth's atmosphere, filters incident solar
ultraviolet radiation such that only a portion of the total ultraviolet
spectrum emitted by the sun reaches the planet's surface.
Violation of the integrity of this filter could mean an alteration in
the solar ultraviolet radiation penetrating the atmosphere. Atmospheric
increases...
