Introduction. Laboratory data on the evaporation kinetics and isotope fractionation of evaporation residues of silicate liquids exposed to vacuum or lowpressure gas of solar or dust-enriched compositions provide constraints on processes that affected the evolution of primitive inclusions in meteorites. In earlier work we focused on evaporations of Type B CAI-like liquids [1,4]. Here we will ree...

Evaporation rates are predicted and important transport mechanisms identified for evaporation of water droplets on hydrophobic (contact angle ~110°) and superhydrophobic (contact angle ~160°) substrates. Analytical models for droplet evaporation in the literature are usually simplified to include only vapor diffusion in the gas domain, and the system is assumed to be isothermal. In the comprehe...

The conditions for disk evaporation by electron thermal conduction are examined, using a simplified semi–analytical 1-D model. The model is based on the mechanism proposed by Meyer & Meyer–Hofmeister (1994) in which an advection dominated accretion flow evaporates the top layers from the underlying disk by thermal conduction. The evaporation rate is calculated as a function of the density of th...

Recent theoretical and experimental studies of evaporation have suggested that on average, molecules in the higher-energy tail of the Boltzmann distribution are more readily transferred into the vapor during evaporation. To test these conclusions, the evaporative cooling rates of a droplet train of liquid water injected into vacuum have been studied via Raman thermometry. The resulting cooling ...

Variation and uncertainty in estimated evaporation was determined over time and between two locations in Florida Bay, a subtropical estuary. Meteorological data were collected from September 2001 to August 2002 at Rabbit Key and Butternut Key within the Bay. Evaporation was estimated using both vapor flux and energy budget methods. The results were placed into a long-term context using 33 years...

In the first week of the internship, I was tasked with creating a VerilogA model of memristors I could use for further simulations. As there is no single predominant model, I explored the range of models used in published works and implemented several in VerilogA. All these models are in the RRAM library, and they all have a name with the prefix memr_model. Below is an explanation of each model...

Memristive device based passive crossbar arrays hold a great promise for high-density and non-volatile memories. A significant challenge of ultra-high density integration of these crossbars is unwanted sneakpath currents. The most common way of addressing this issue today is an integrated or external selecting device to block unwanted current paths. In this paper, we use a memristive device wit...

Evaporation was determined by the energy-budget method for Mirror Lake during the open water periods of 1982–1987. For all years, evaporation rates were low in spring and fall and highest during the summer. However, the times of highest evaporation rates varied during the 6 yr. Evaporation reached maximum rates in July for three of the years, in June for two of the years, and in August for one ...
