Stabilization of Water Mists [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1958
THE stability of a water mist formed in an atmosphere that is not fully saturated is severely affected by droplet evaporation. Thus a water-drop 10µ. in radius suspended in air at 20° C. and 80 per cent relative humidity can be shown to have a life of only 2.4 sec.

Attenuation of Infrared Radiation When Passing Through a Water Curtain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
This article focuses on the interaction of infrared (IR) radiation with water droplets. The main objective of the article is the production of water mist in order of evaluation the reduction in intensity of IR radiation. In the experiments described in

Estimating the Suppression Performance of an Electronically Controlled Residential Water Mist System from BS 8458:2015 Fire Test Data

open access: yesFire, 2022
It is commonly assumed in fire modelling that suppression systems can control the heat release rate of a fire. However, many performance-based assumptions are derived from experimental data for sprinklers, and uncertainty remains for their application to

Odonata Collected with a Mist Net in Baraga County, Michigan, including a New Record for the Upper Peninsula [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Excerpt: In the summer of 1966, a study of the interrelation of birds and forest insects was initiated at Michigan Technological University. Japanese mist nets were used, among other methods, to make population estimates of birds.

Experimental evaluation of the effectiveness of water mist automated fire extinguishing systems for oil transportation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Experimental investigation of regularities of carryover of water mist droplets (radius of 50 - 500 [mu]m) by high temperature (500 - 1800 K) products of combustion of typical petroleum products (oil, gasoline, kerosene, etc.) was carried out.

Role of acoustic wave on extinguishing flames coupling with water mist

open access: yesCase Studies in Thermal Engineering, 2022
Water mist plays an indispensable role in various fire extinguishing scenarios, but its efficiency is restricted by the interaction area of droplets and the flame. With the characteristics of simple operation and limited environmental pollution, acoustic

System and climate related pythium problems in mobile chrysanthemum growing systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
One Dutch greenhouse company started to grow chrysanthemums in a mobile system. The system’s basic unit is a sub-irrigated V-shaped gully of 8.0 m long and 5 cm wide, filled with a peat-coir mix.
