[1] We perform the first analysis of tropospheric transport using the global boundary propagator Green function, G, which partitions air at every point and time according to both the transit time since last surface contact and the location of that contact. We compute G for a 3-year period with the MATCH model driven by NCEP reanalyses. Last contact time is resolved in 3-d intervals, and last-co...

The air of the office environment is our research object. The data of temperature, humidity, concentrations of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and ammonia are collected peer one to eight seconds by the sensor monitoring system. And all the data are stored in the Hbase database of Hadoop platform. With the help of HBase feature of column-oriented store and versioned (automatically add the time c...

Experiments were performed in a cylindrical 0.14 m diameter bubble column with a metal perforated plate. Air and aqueous solutions of glycerol with viscosity 1–22 mPa s were the phases. Gas holdup was measured and plotted against the gas flow rate. The critical point where the homogeneous–heterogeneous regime transition begins was determined by the drift-flux plot of the primary data. The homog...

Measurements have been conducted in an anechoic chamber for comparison to current linear acoustic theory for radiation directivity from a cylindrical pipe with toneholes. Time-delay spectrometry using an exponentially swept sine signal was employed to determine impulse responses at points external to the experimental air column. This technique is effective in clearly isolating nonlinear artifac...

A better understanding of the hydrodynamics related to flooding conditions in distillation columns is required in order to provide optimised designs for new plants and plant retrofits. Current flooding prediction correlations are predominantly based on air/water systems and tend to diverge at high vapour capacities. In this work an experimental setup was designed and constructed to test the hyd...

Silicone based oil is heated in the boiler of the diffusion pump and the vaporized oil rises in the central tower and streams out of directional flutes directed downward in the pump throat. This allows air molecules to dissolve in the gaseous oil (gas dissolved in gas). As the oil-air mixture cools (due to water cooling coils wrapped around the pump throat) the oil condenses and returns to liqu...

By means of the ultrafast X-ray tomography facility, data were obtained at different superficial gas velocities UG in a bubble column (0.1 m in ID) operated with an air-deionized water system at ambient conditions. Raw reconstructed images were treated by both the information entropy (IE) and the reconstruction entropy (RE) algorithms in order to identify the main transition velocities in a bub...
