Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mk IX, Models 3 and 4 is made up of a differential pressure transducer, a pressure averaging system and a protective housing. The heart of the gage, the Bournes differential pressure transducer, consists of a pressure sensitive bellows linked to the moving wiper arm of an accurately wound 750 ohm potentiometer. The wiper at zero differential pressure rests at the middle of the resistance winding. When a differential pressure is applied to the bellows, the wiper departs from this position a distance proportional to the applied pressure difference. This change in wiper position is converted to the applied pressure difference. This change in wiper position is converted to a proportional current in an electronically stabilized bridge circuit and is recorded on a recording miliameter. To insure long life of the potentiometer, the resistance winding is submerged in oil for cooling. A flexible diaphragm is provided to hold the oil in place but allow the transmission of pressure through the oil to one side of the transducer bellows. (Author).

Download or read book Preliminary Evaluation of Wind and Wave Effects at Potential LNG Terminal Sites State of California written by Lyndell Z. Hales and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Station (WES) was requested to assist in the preliminary evaluation of the wave climate at alternate potential Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) terminal sites by applying existing hindcast wave data of a general nature to obtain estimates of the times of excessive wave conditions at the various sites. After the preliminary evaluation was completed, WES was again requested to assist by analyzing the effects of island sheltering and topographic influences on the wave climates of six offshore sites in order to provide a more refined estimate of the wave conditions existing at the potential sites. Because of the absence of a comprehensive deepwater wave hindcast data base of sufficient degree of confidence to permit estimates of the absolute magnitude of occurrences of waves of different periods and heights, the analysis conducted is a relative evaluation only and should not be interpreted as projections of actual downtime, but rather as a consistently uniform basis for comparison. When the appropriate topographic coefficients had been applied to the deepwater hindcast wave data and the resulting wave climate at the potential offshore LNG site had been obtained, it was required that the effects of this resultant wave climate be determined on four possible terminal concepts at each of the six sites. These four concepts include: (a) fixed terminal with one pier, (b) fixed terminal with two piers, (c) floating barge, and (d) deepwater mooring tower.
Download or read book The Science of Ocean Waves written by J. B. Zirker and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2013-12-18 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An unparalleled introduction to the amazing world of ocean waves. Outstanding Academic Title, Choice "Powerful ocean waves fascinate the public, and they have made a lot of news lately." With that indisputable observation, scientist J. B. Zirker takes off on a whirlwind tour of the world of waves—from the “ordinary” waves that constantly churn the sea to the rogues or freaks that can rise up seemingly from nowhere to heights of 20 meters or more . . . and everything in between. Addressing questions most ocean visitors have had and offering new ones for our consideration, The Science of Ocean Waves explains in accessible language how waves are formed, how they move, how they become huge and destructive, and how they're being studied now for clues that will help us plan for the future. Devoting chapters to wind, tides, currents, breakers, tsunamis, forecasting, renewable energy, and El Niño—as well as discussing the gentler properties of ocean waves which inspire us and offer opportunities for relaxation and recreation—Zirker explores the physical factors that create waves. Drawing on some of the recent storms that have devastated entire regions—such as Hurricane Katrina, the tsunami launched by the 2004 Sumatran earthquake, and the great tsunami that crushed the shore of Japan in 2011—Zirker explains the forces that cause these monster waves and reveals the toll they take on human lives. Enhanced by dozens of illustrations and a comprehensive glossary, The Science of Ocean Waves will fascinate anyone curious about the science behind the headlines. Praise for J. B. Zirker “Scientists know their stuff but are rarely good storytellers, whereas good storytellers rarely possess the necessary sweeping command of a scientific discipline. Zirker is that rare animal who can both communicate the most demanding technical detail and make it accessible.”—New Scientist
Download or read book Where the Waves Turn Back written by Tyson Motsenbocker and published by Worthy Books. This book was released on 2023-04-11 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this powerful memoir, following the death of his mother, Tyson Motsenbocker retraces the journey an 18th century priest took in this harrowing story of one man’s pilgrimage of healing and finding beauty and hope in tragedy. After years on the road performing at sold-out venues, Tyson Motsenbocker returned home to the impending death of his 57-year-old hero and mother. He begged God to heal her, but she died anyway. When they buried her body, Tyson also buried the childhood version of his faith. Shortly before her death, however, Tyson became intrigued by the complicated legacy of Father Junipero Serra, the 18th-century Franciscan monk and canonized saint who dedicated his life to the idea that tragedy and suffering are portals to renewal. Father Serra built Missions up and down the California coast, spreading Christianity, as well as enabling and aiding in the oppression and colonization of the native Californians. Tyson discovered Serra’s “El Camino Real,” a 600-mile pilgrimage route up the California coast that had been largely forgotten for more than 200 years. Two days after they buried his mother, Tyson set out on a pilgrimage of sorts, intending to walk from San Diego to San Francisco along the El Camino, following in the footsteps of the saint. Tyson’s journey takes him down smog-choked highways, across fog-laden beaches, past multi-million-dollar coastal estates, and along the towering cliffs of Big Sur. And as he walks, Tyson also wrestles with his faith, questioning the pat answers and easy prayers he once readily accepted, trying to understand how hope and tragedy can all be wrapped up in the same God. The people he meets along the way challenge his understanding of the meaning of security, of what it means to live a meaningful life, and of the legacies we all leave behind. Where the Waves Turn Back is both part journal and part spiritual memoir, and ultimately, a thrilling and deeply satisfying read that asks questions that will resonate with readers seeking meaning in an utterly disorienting age.
