"Informed by the rich new literature on contemporary Los Angeles, Metropolis in the Making takes giant strides in illuminating the history of the present. Looking back to the future, this rich collection of historical essays fixes on the key formative moments of America's first decentralized industrial metropolis. Not only would Carey McWilliams be pleased, but so too will be every contemporary urbanist."—Edward W. Soja, author of Postmetropolis: Critical Studies of Cities and Regions and co-editor of The City: Los Angeles and Urban Theory at the End of the Twentieth Century
Provides a comprehensive coverage of the basic phenomena. It contains twenty-five chapters which cover different aspects of boiling and condensation. First the specific topic or phenomenon is described, followed by a brief survey of previous work, a phenomenological model based on current understanding, and finally a set of recommended design equa
A total of 1517 references are listed in this compilation. These include selected non-published United States Atomic Energy Commission reports and published articles in technical books and journals. An author and a report number index with availability information are also included.
Presents applied heat transfer principles in the range of extremely low temperatures. The specific features of heat transfer at cryogenic temperatures, such as variable properties, near critical convection, and Kapitza resistance, are described. This book includes many example problems, in each section, that help to illustrate the applications of the principles presented.
A method has been devised for using the high frequency induction coil as a high temperature calorimeter. The method enables one to determine the heat effects produced at high temperatures. The method has been applied to the determination of the heats of formation of the alloys Na-Sn and Li-Sn. The average heat of formation (delta H) determined for Na-Sn is -9.63 +/= 0.40 hilocalories per mole at 8730 K. This value becomes -10.6 +/= 0.6 kilocalories per mole when extrapolated to 298 deg K. The average heat of formation (delta H) determined for Li-Sn is -17.57 +/= 0.83 kilocalories per mole at 850 deg K. This value becomes -18.62 +/= 1.50 kilocalories per mole when extrapolated to 298 deg K. These results are compared with the results of other investigators.
