The rate of sweat evaporation from the arm, chest, back and thigh, aural temperature, skin temperature (arm, chest, back and thigh), heat production (derived from measurements of respiratory gas exchange) and heart rate were measured in 7 men during 15 minutes of leg or arm cycling at 32% of predicted maximum oxygen uptake (VO2 max). The regional sweat evaporation rates and changes in body temp...

In an introductory review it is reemphasized that the large-scale parameterization of the surface fluxes of sensible and latent heat is properly expressed in terms of energetic considerations over land while formulas of the bulk aerodynamic type are most suitable over the sea. A general framework is suggested. Data from a number of saturated land sites and open water sites in the absence of adv...

In CI engines, the evaporation rate of fuel on various hot surfaces, including the combustion chamber, has a significant effect on deposit formation and accumulation, the exhaust emissions of PM and NOx, and their efficiency. Therefore, the evaporation of liquid fuel droplets impinging on hot surfaces has become an important subject of interest to engine designers, manufacturers, and researcher...

A novel technique to prepare carbon/sulfur composites as cathode materials for Li/S batteries is proposed, which we call the ‘solution evaporation concentration crystallization’ method. Three composites with different S loadings were prepared, subject to two different solvent evaporation rates from acetylene black (AB)/sulfur in carbon disulfide solutions. X-ray diffraction, environmental scann...

effect of seed priming on germination and seedling growth of sesame investigated under controlled conditions. the primed seeds with znso4 had the maximum germination percentage whereas the highest germination rate was observed in hydro-primed seeds. the treated seeds with peg showed the best growth of the seedlings and rootlet. the complementary field experiment was conducted to evaluate the ef...

The effects of field-evaporation rate on the quantitative chemical analysis of materials by atom-probe field-ion microscopy are considered. Examples of erroneously high measured values of the Ti concentration in Mo-1.0 at.% Ti and Mo-1.0 at.% Ti-0.08 at.% Zr (TZM) alloys are presented and the cause is shown to have been due to a high field-evaporation rate. The basic arguments used to explain t...

Evaporation-induced self-assemblies (EISAs) with various morphologies were selectively fabricated by drying a solution containing polypyrrole nanoparticles. The morphogenesis of EISAs was strongly dependent upon the solvent evaporation rate and the nanoparticle concentration. In the case of fast evaporation, 2-D dendrites or pseudo 1-D dendrites were observed. When the liquid medium evaporated ...

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of evaporation and condensation on the underfloor space of Japanese detached houses. In this underfloor space, natural ventilation is applied. A typical Japanese wooden detached house is raised 0.3–0.5 m over an underfloor space made of concrete. The bottom of the underfloor space is usually paved with concrete, and the ceiling whi...

Evaporation of micro-liter drops from solid surfaces at room condition is mainly governed by diffusion. Therefore, there should be no difference between evaporation rate of sessile and pendant drops. However, some studies indicate a difference and explain the difference using buoyancy. The objective here is to reconcile the inconsistency in the literature. For that, first, by comparing two iden...
