ABSTRACT: An intensive research work is carried out to determine the effect of humidity and contamination on cable termination and it’s aging. In this paper, the effect of atmospheric conditions on cable termination has been investigated by measurement of discharge inception voltage, discharge magnitude, dielectric loss and capacitance of each phase of cable. The three possible conditions i.e n...

Aromatic compounds contribute significantly to the budget of atmospheric pollutants and represent considerable hazard to living organisms. However, they are only rarely included into atmospheric models which deviate substantially from field measurements. A powerful experimental-simulation tool for the assessment of the impact of low- and semi-volatile aromatic pollutants on the environment due ...

This work evaluates proposed methods to correct engine power output as a function of atmospheric conditions. The analysis was made through experiments carried out in a vehicle on the road, under different temperature, pressure and air humidity conditions. The vehicle had a four-cylinder gasoline-fuelled engine, with multi-point fuel injection system, variable intake pipe length and variable int...

The ongoing characterization of hot Jupiters has motivated a variety of circulation models of their atmospheres. Such models must be integrated starting from an assumed initial state, which is typically taken to be a wind-free, rest state. Here, we investigate the sensitivity of hot-Jupiter atmospheric circulation models to initial conditions. We consider two classes of models—shallow-water mod...

One of the most frequently corrosion type is the atmospheric corrosion. Carbon steel behavior at atmospheric corrosion is presented on base of the literature data study. This has been reported to account for more failures in terms of cost and tonnage than any other type. About 80% from all degradations produced by corrosion in the metallic constructions are due to the atmospheric corrosion. The...

A state-of-the-art chamber facility is described for investigation of atmospheric aerosol chemistry. Dual 28 m3 FEP Teflon film chambers are used to simulate atmospheric conditions in which aerosol formation may occur. This facility provides the flexibility to investigate dark, single oxidant reactions as well as full photochemical simulations. This paper discusses the environmental control imp...

Gene flow data from experiments under limited environmental conditions (e.g. wind speed and direction, atmospheric stability) have only provided limited information for gene flow risk management. It is necessary to apply models to predict the gene flow under a complete set of possible environmental conditions to inform farmers, seed companies, government agencies, and researchers about the risk...

Atmospheric conditions at Chajnantor have been monitored since April 1995. Starting then, the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO), joined by the European Southern Observatory (ESO), Onsala Space Observatory (OSO), and the Nobeyama Radio Observatory (NRO), have operated atmospheric and weather monitoring equipment to characterize the observing conditions for a large radio interferometer ...
