Dew formation on a transparent surface creates a pattern that can cause blurred view over it. This fogging phenomenon should be avoided in many applications. Mist condensation of water on a cold surface exposed to humid air is studied in this work. In order to analyze the misting process, the fluid flow and heat transfer of humid air as well as the heat transfer across the solid surface are con...

This paper reviews techniques and equipment for collecting precipitation samples from the atmosphere (fog and cloud water) and from atmospheric deposits (dew, hoarfrost, and rime) that are suitable for the evaluation of atmospheric pollution. It discusses the storage and preparation of samples for analysis and also presents bibliographic information on the concentration ranges of inorganic and ...

Context-awareness is a requirement in many modern web applications. \Vhile most model-driven web engineering approaches have been extended vvith support for adaptivity, state-of-the-art dew lopment platforms generally provide only limited means for the specification of adaptation and often completely lack a notion of context. \Ve propose a domain-specific language for context-aware web applicat...

Existing theories describe corrosive wear in crosshead diesel engines in terms of acid condensation, when the temperature in the combustion space drops below the dew point. Here a theory is proposed which stresses the role of alkaline cylinder lubricants in protecting the metal surface. Calculated liner wear rates as a function of fuel sulphur content, feed rate and alkalinity of the oil, and a...
