A new solid lubricant [PDF]

open access: yes, 1969
Friction and wear life studies on burnished films of the compound graphite fluoride have demonstrated its potential as a solid lubricant material. It is effective in moist air, dry air, or in dry argon at temperatures up to approximately 400 degrees ...

A Climatology of the Tropospheric Thermal Stratification Using Saturation Potential Vorticity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The condition of convective neutrality is assessed in the troposphere by calculating the saturation potential vorticity P* from reanalysis data. Regions of the atmosphere in which saturation entropy is constant along isosurfaces of absolute angular ...

Research on Water Vapor Permeability in Porous Dust Layer on the Surface of Cold Metal Fin

open access: yesZhileng xuebao, 2021
To develop a self-cleaning technique for fin-and-tube heat exchangers by adopting the method of dust layer freezing and expansion, the mechanism of water vapor permeability in porous dust layers on fin surfaces should be investigated.

The lightness of water vapor helps to stabilize tropical climate. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Moist air is lighter than dry air at the same temperature, pressure, and volume because the molecular weight of water is less than that of dry air. We call this the vapor buoyancy effect.

A central arctic extreme aerosol event triggered by a warm air-mass intrusion

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
Warm and moist air-mass intrusions into the Arctic are more frequent than the past decades. Here, the authors show that warm air mass intrusions from northern Eurasia inject record amounts of aerosols into the central Arctic Ocean strongly impacting ...

Definition of the Moist-Air Exergy Norm: A Comparison with Existing “Moist Energy Norms” [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Weather Review, 2020
AbstractThis study presents a new formulation for the norms and scalar products used in tangent linear or adjoint models to determine forecast errors and sensitivity to observations and to calculate singular vectors. The new norm is derived from the concept of moist-air available enthalpy, which is one of the availability functions referred to as ...
