A vessel<U+0080>́<U+0099>s behavior as a heat exchanger, absorber, reactor, or other process unit is dependent upon how fluid flows through the vessel.℗ In early engineering, the designer would assume either plug flow or mixed flow of the fluid through the vessel.℗ However, these…
This book provides state of art reviews on the applications of U-Th series nuclides to 'time' and 'tag' a variety of processes occurring in aquatic systems. The processes addressed would include, among others, chemical weathering on continents, dating of groundwaters and movemen…
The STUW, a component of the Central Waters, is an upper thermocline water mass present in the subtropics and tropics. It is distinguished as a vertical salinity maximum below the mixed layer. The STUW is formed by subduction within the subtropical gyres, where Ekman convergence…
