Thermodynamics of an Accretion Disk Annulus with Comparable Radiation and Gas Pressure
We explore the thermodynamic and global structural properties of a local patch of an accretion disk whose parameters were chosen so that radiation pressure and gas pressure would be comparable in magnitude.

Experimental results concerning centrifugal impeller excitations [PDF]
The effect of working fluid on the dynamics of an impeller with radial vanes was investigated. The impeller was supported vertically from a very flexible quill shaft in order to produce a low critical speed, and to allow the fluid dynamic effects on the ...

What Have We Learned from MERRA about Reanalyses of the Stratosphere? [PDF]
The Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications (MERRA) reanalysis includes a well-resolved middle atmosphere. The upper boundary of the underlying model is in the mesosphere, near 80km, and the input data streams include the ...

Design, fabrication and calibration of alpha particle densitometers for measuring planetary atmospheric density [PDF]
An alpha particle densitometer was developed for possible application to measurement of the atmospheric density-altitude profile on Martian entry. The device uses an Am-241 radioactive-foil source, which emits a distributed energy spectrum, located about

Discussion of the technology and research in fuel injectors common rail system [PDF]
Common rail is one of the most important components in a diesel and gasoline direct injection system. It features a high-pressure (100 bar) fuel rail feeding solenoid valves, as opposed to a low-pressure fuel pump feeding unit injectors. Third-generation
