The efficiency of CO2 transfer into aqueous solutions will, among other factors, depend on the deviation of medium conditions from equilibrium with the sparged gas (and the atmosphere), the contact time (e.g., depth of the water column), and the contact surface area (e.g., bubble size) [ 16– 16].
"What we didn't know is just how much carbon is entering the atmosphere through contact with surface waters," Kling says.
The effect of fibre treatment on the thermal degradation and surface energy characteristics of hemp fibre reinforced unsaturated polyester (HFRUP) composites was investigated by means of a thermogravimetric analyser (TGA) in a nitrogen atmosphere and contact angle measurement.
Or like one of the dust devils that rises periodically from the Black Rock Desert, kicking up a towering funnel of sand, only to dissolve into the atmosphere on contact with anything solid.
We have designed and realized a cell where a powdered sample, in form of self-supported pellet, can be (i) in situ heated up to 900 K, either under dynamical vacuum or in reducing/oxidizing atmosphere; (ii) contacted with the desired amount of adsorbed gas; (iii) cooled down to 77 K for measurements.
So although Adelman was speaking for himself, his views were formed in an atmosphere of regular contact with the Administration.
The northern lights, or aurora borealis, occur when the earth's atmosphere comes into contact with particles from the sun.
When moist atmosphere comes in contact with a cold surface, it forms a thin, translucent film of ice crystals called hoarfrost.
An air mass forms whenever the atmosphere remains in contact with a large, relatively uniform land or sea surface for a time sufficiently long to acquire the temperature and moisture properties of that surface.
The metallisation may also be damaged at high temperature or when a corrosive atmosphere is in contact with the membrane.
At one point, Scalia questioned whether greenhouse gases should even be considered pollutants, noting that the resulting carbon dioxide is produced in a portion of the atmosphere not in direct contact with people.
