Stability analysis of unsteady ablation fronts

Description: The linear stability analysis of unsteady ablation fronts, is carried out for a semi-infinite uniform medium. For a laser accelerated target, it is shown that a properly selected modulation of the laser intensity can lead to the dynamic stabilization or growth-rate reduction of a large portion of the unstable spectrum. The theory is in qualitative agreement with the numerical results obtained by using the two-dimensional hydrodynamic code ORCHID.

Residential oil burners with low input and two stages firing

Description: The residential oil burner market is currently dominated by the pressure-atomized, retention head burner. At low firing rates pressure atomizing nozzles suffer rapid fouling of the small internal passages, leading to bad spray patterns and poor combustion performance. To overcome the low input limitations of conventional burners, a low pressure air-atomized burner has been developed watch can operate at fining rates as low as 0.25 gallons of oil per hour (10 kW). In addition, the burner can be … more

Liquid Membrane Purification of Biogas

Description: Conventional gas purification technologies are highly energy intensive. They are not suitable for economic removal of CO{sub 2} from methane obtained in biogas due to the small scale of gas production. Membrane separation techniques on the other hand are ideally suited for low gas production rate applications due to their modular nature. Although liquid membranes possess a high species permeability and selectivity, they have not been used for industrial applications due to the problems of membr… more

Time-Dependent Behavior of Mount Pinatubo Aerosol

Description: The 15--16 June 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo delivered approximately 20 million metric tons of SO{sub 2} to the stratosphere. The SO{sub 2} plume from Mount Pinatubo straddled the equator resulting in a more symmetrical global distribution of the H{sub 2}SO{sub 4}-H{sub 2}O aerosol that results from the photochemical conversion of the SO{sub 2}. This paper follows the aerosol optical depth change over three-northern mid-latitude sites for the first sixteen months following the eruption. The … more
