Advanced high temperature heat flux sensors

To fully characterize advanced high temperature heat flux sensors, calibration and testing is required at full engine temperature. This required the development of unique high temperature heat flux test facilities. These facilities were developed, are in place, and are being used for advanced heat flux sensor development

LAW BOOKS OF THE YEAR (1943-44)

Contrary to my inclination and somewhat against my better judgment I have been prevailed upon by the editor to repeat the experiment begun last year, viz., to produce a sort of running account of some of the more important legal publications which have appeared in the last twelve months. It goes almost without saying that a competent review of a single serious work requires both considerable time and space. An adequate critical review of fifty or sixty works would be quite out of the question for anyone who had anything else to do. In my comments on the books which follow I have been forced to lean heavily on more extensive reviews appearing elsewhere; and, although I have sometimes had to rely on what authors have said in their own prefaces, I have in general studiously avoided relying on publishers\u27 blurbs. While I cannot pretend to have studied thoroughly all the books I shall hereafter mention, I have, in more cases than I care to remember, either read the whole work or a large part of it. At the conclusion of this labor I can repeat what the ancient English scribe added to a manuscript which he had finished copying: Explicit hic totum; pro Christo da mihi potum

THE LAW BOOKS OF THE YEAR

The war has had its effects on the law publishing business, with the result that the output has declined in both quantity and quality. Authors are doubtless turning their minds to other things, and publishers, quite understandably; may be reluctant to launch a new work. Whatever the reason may be, the law book crop for the academic year 1942-43 is rather meagre

Shafranov's virial theorem and magnetic plasma confinement

Shafranov's virial theorem implies that nontrivial magnetohydrodynamical equilibrium configurations must be supported by externally supplied currents. Here we extend the virial theorem to field theory, where it relates to Derrick's scaling argument on soliton stability. We then employ virial arguments to investigate a realistic field theory model of a two-component plasma, and conclude that stable localized solitons can exist in the bulk of a finite density plasma. These solitons entail a nontrivial electric field which implies that purely magnetohydrodynamical arguments are insufficient for describing stable, nontrivial structures within the bulk of a plasma.Comment: 9 pages no figure

Conrad Deep: a new northern Red Sea deep. Origin and implications for continental rifting

A previously unknown deep, here called Conrad Deep, was discovered during an extensive geophysical survey of the northern Red Sea in June, 1984. Conrad Deep is located at 27°03’N, 34°43’E, only 90 km south of the Gulf of Suez and is the most northern deep yet discovered in the Red Sea. It is located within a well developed axial depression which also contains Charcot Deep, 100 km to the south. The axial depression is associated with abundant recent deformation and is situated at the peak of a regional heat flow high extending across the rift. Conrad Deep is typical of the small northern type Red Sea Deep. It is 10 km long, 2 km wide and has a maximum depth of 1460 m. It is associated with high and variable heat flow values and large magnetic anomalies. There is no evidence of a dense brine layer. Detailed analysis of the geophysical data implies that the deep probably results from a very recent (< 40,000 years) intrusion into continental type basement. The formation of a well defined axial depression associated with very high heat flow and small deeps resulting from isolated intrusions may be the first step in the transition from continental extension to seafloor spreading
