A moored instrument for vertical temperature gradients

Estimation of downward irradiance attenuation from a single moored instrument

-A method for estimating the diffuse attenuation coefficient for downward irradiance, Kd(2), from time-series data of irradiance and sea-surface wave elevation is presented. Data acquisition is accomplished with a fixed-depth, single moored instrument system. K d (2) is obtained as a ratio of the standard deviation of natural logarithms of irradiance to the standard deviation of wave elevation....

Finite Element Analysis for Estimating the Effect of Various Working Conditions on the Temperature Gradients Created Inside a Rolling Tire

Periodic deformation of a tire during its rolling motion causes energy dissipating and heat generation due to hysteretic nature of the rubber. The increase in tire temperature may have disastrous effects on safe service life and safety of vehicles. In this study a numerical simulation based on finite element method is used for evaluating the effect of various working conditions on temperature f...

Convection in rotating flows with simultaneous imposition of radial and vertical temperature gradients

Laboratory experiments were conducted to study heat transport characteristics in a nonhomogeneously heated fluid annulus subjected to rotation along the vertical axis (z). The nonhomogeneous heating was obtained by imposing radial and vertical temperature gradient (ΔT). The parameter range for this study was Rayleigh number, Ra=2.43×10-3.66×10, and Taylor number, Ta=6.45×10-27×10. The working f...

Property price gradients: the vertical dimension

This is an empirical study on the pricing of two vertical property attributes: floor level and building height. Floor level is the vertical location of a unit in a multi-storey building; the extra price paid for a higher floor level is labelled a floor-level premium. Previous hedonic price studies unequivocally showed that the floor-level premium is positive, but they were silent on whether its...
