Air And Water Show

Interplay between Air and Water

In the Prologue I recall, among others, the period of the Cold War in which, thanks to Polish colleagues, scientific contacts between East and West were maintained . After that, several aspects of the flow of mixtures of air and water will be discussed and illustrated by examples. Finally I will give some comments on the differences and similarities between fundamental and applied science and s...

Stomatal responses to light and leaf-air water vapor pressure difference show similar kinetics in sugarcane and soybean.

Stomatal responses to light and humidity (vapor pressure difference, VPD) are important determinants of stomatal conductance. Stomatal movements induced by light are the result of a transduction of the light stimulus into modulated ion fluxes in guard cells and concomitant osmotic adjustments and turgor changes. It is generally assumed that this transduction process is a general stomatal proper...

Differences between Steam-water and Air-water Capillary Pressures

Steam-water flow exists in most geothermal reservoirs where steam-water capillary pressure plays an important role in controlling fluid distribution, transfer of liquid between fracture and matrix, well productivity, and even the reserves. However, it is very difficult to measure steam-water capillary pressure due to the phase transformation and the significant mass transfer between the two pha...
