The heat loss and surface temperature of the top surface and sidewall of large-scale floating roof tank is tested by the heat flow meter and surface temperature method. Based on the test data, the heat loss from the top surface is about twice more than that of the sidewall which means the top surface is the weakest insulation part of the floating roof tank. On the surface, the heat loss profile...

E oundss . For exact. comparisons, however, a more definite term mus t e used. In this bulletin, therefore, the term specific gravity is used . Specific gravity as used here is based on the weight of the oven-dry wood and the volume when green . The average specific gravity and the range in specific gravity fo r the wood of a species are, in the absence of actual test data, criteri a of the cha...

The correct determination of the energy generated or absorbed in the sample cell of an Isothermal Titration Calorimeter (ITC) requires a thorough analysis of the calorimetric signal. This means the identification and quantification of any thermal effect inherent to the working method. In this work, it is carried out a review on several thermal effects, studied by us in previous work, and which ...

Introduction. The relation between minute ventilation (VE) and carbon dioxide production (VCO(2)) can be characterised by the instantaneous ratio of ventilation to carbon dioxide production, the ventilatory equivalent for CO(2) (VEqCO(2)). We hypothesised that the time taken to achieve the lowest VEqCO(2) (time to VEqCO2 nadir) may be a prognostic marker in patients with chronic heart failure (...
