    Vented hydrogen is converted into water by mixing hydrogen with sufficient air to ensure that a flame cannot be maintained and then passing it through a reactor containing palladium catalyst; reaction takes place at relatively low temperature. Device may have wide range of applications for air purification

    Return on shares of steel companies under the influence of mergers and acquisitions

    Get PDF
    The present article intends to asses returns on shares of the steel companies that were formed based on either merger or acquisition. The analysis included 14 operations in the steel industry. Attention was paid to returns of the companies performing acquisitions, as well as to the returns on shares that presented the acquisition target. The analysis was performed based on the “event study” method, and the analysed event was the announcement or notification of realization of an acquisition. Shares of the target steel companies as well as acquirers are attaining higher returns, but the change was not statistical significant

    Experimental results are summarized for investigations on the condenser fluid mechanics of mercury under zerogravity, two-phase conditions. Conditions required for interfacial stability in tubes were determined as a function of tube diameters. Correlated two-phase pressure drop data are presented as functions of tube inlet Reynolds number and vapor specific volume. Flow regime stability was studied under zero-gravity and 2.55-gravity conditions and at various Reynolds numbers. the effect of noncondensable gas on flow performance in mercury forced convection condensers was evaluated.
