The effect of ultra-high pressure on the thermal emf of a
chromelialumel thermocouple is investigated using an indirect
method which does not require a direct knowledge of the temperature
of the pressurized junction. The unknown temperature is written
parametrically as a function of a directly measured quantity, the
electrical power...
Groundwater–surface-water (GW-SW) interactions in streams are difficult to quantify because of heterogeneity in hydraulic and reactive processes across a range of spatial and temporal scales. The challenge of quantifying these interactions has led to the development of several techniques, from centimeter-scale probes to whole-system tracers, including chemical, thermal, and electrical...
The base Al-Zn superplastic alloy was investigated at 250°C to
determine the effect of small amounts of magnesium on mechanical
properties. Six alloys of nominal composition 0.00, 0.10, 0.25,
0.50, 0.75, and 1.00 weight percent magnesium, constant 78 weight
percent zinc, and variable 21 to 22 weight percent aluminum were...
The structure, hardness, and impact strength of high chromium
cast irons was investigated. From the Fe- Cr- C phase diagram,
a composition with 74.8 wt% Fe, 21.5 wt% Cr, and 3.7 wt% was
selected along the austenite-M₇C₃ eutectic trough. This composition
was bracketed by others with slightly different amounts of...
A necessary condition for successful management of fisheries is that fishermen follow the rules and regulations put in place. A survey was designed to ask anglers about their attitudes towards various recreational fishing rules and regulations, as well as to what extent the different regulations were complied with. Moreover, we...
