responsible for temperature increases from an average -60°F (-51°C) at tropopause to a maximum of about 5°F (-15°C) at the top of the stratosphere. This increase in temperature with height means warmer air is located above cooler air. This prevents "convection" since there is no upward vertical movement of the gases and is the reason for the ’anvil-shaped’

Mid-Oceanic Ridges Matthew Olson ABSRACT The theory of seafloor spreading emerged with the discoveries of Harry Hammond Hess. Ocean basins are expanding laterally away from a mid-oceanic ridge. Radioactive decay in Earth’s mantle causes convection cycles‚ which drive plate tectonics. Hot mantle rises and undergoes decompression melt due to change in pressure. New oceanic crust is created in a characteristic sequence. Studies of Ophiolites show a sequence of sediment‚ pillow basalts‚ sheeted

rotary kiln working safety and efficiency. Therefore‚ rotary kiln cement produces the host‚ commonly known as the cement factory "heart". The ways of heat transfer in the rotary kiln can be divided into three types: the diversion‚ the convection and thermal radiation. It calcines the materials by the three ways. The next‚ let us know about the three ways of heat transfer. At the present‚ Hongxing mining machinery has set up three

CHAPTER I 1. Fuzzy control Fuzzy control is a practical alternative for a variety of challenging control applicationssince it provides a convenient method for constructing nonlinear controllersvia the use of heuristic information. In a sense fuzzy systems can be “trained” and can “learn” how to perform throughout a control task and are considered as intelligent control system. Fuzzy control system design is based on empirical methods‚ basically a methodical approach to trail-and-error. The

Impact of Industrialization on Environment OVERVIEW Centuries ago‚ when there was no active expanding of large cities and industries‚ nature was able to overcome pollution and keep air fairly clean without outside help. The wind and rain in the form of natural rescuers scattered gases and washed away the dust. However‚ with increasing industrialization and urbanization‚ the nature’s system cannot cope with pollution and clean the environment naturally. In comparison with volcanoes‚ hurricanes‚

Natural circulation loop is the representative of primary heat transport system of a nuclear reactor. In a closed system without the use of pumps‚ circulation of fluids is generally maintained by thermal convection. This is why natural circulation is designed for the so-called Generation IV nuclear reactors‚ which like to employ passive safety and reliability. As a result‚ more and more attention has been given to natural circulation in the advanced reactor
