El coet és, d'una banda, el motor tèrmic més antic d'entre els enginyats pels humans i, de l'altra, l'únic que ha possibilitat que l'astronàutica esdevingués una realitat, ara fa poc més de cinquanta

This book presents decade-long advances in atmospheric research in the Mackenzie River Basin in northern Canada, which encompasses environments representative of most cold areas on Earth. Collaborative efforts by a team of about 100 scientists and engineers have yielded knowledge entirely transferable to other high latitude regions in America, Europe and Asia. Emphases are placed on the investigation of processes (including storm genesis, precipitation, moisture and energy fluxes and frost), and the improvement and application of a suite of models and remote sensing to enhance the assessment of climate variability and water resources. This book complements the second volume coming from the GEWEX project, dealing with the region''s hydrological processes. Together these books provide a unique synthesis of atmospheric and hydrological findings and an integrative approach across disciplines in addressing major research issues of cold regions.

Colisiones Cósmicas Dana Desonie Esta obra describe la historia de las colisiones cósmicas y responde y soluciona muchas de nuestras dudas y preguntas como, por ejemplo, la frecuencia de las colisiones en la Tierra, si los dinosaurios fueron aniquilados por una colision, si los cientificos pueden predecir las colisiones y como podemos defender nuestro planeta.

Este volumen es una recopilación de las contribuciones científicas presentadas en la 3ª Reunión Nacional del Grupo de Coloides e Interfases y 1ª Reunión Nacional sobre Estado Líquido, celebradas en Aguadulce (Almeria), en junio de 1998 y patrocinadas por la Universidad de Almeria. Este encuentro logro aglutinar grupos de investigacion que abordan problemas en el campo de los fluidos, desde un punto de vista teorico, experimental y tecnologico, y que desarrollan su labor en las Universidades Españolas, y centros de investigacion del Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas. Asi, se perpetuan los ya consolidados encuentros del Grupo Especializado de Coloides e Interfases de las Reales Sociedades Españolas de Fisica y Quimica, que ahora se extienden a un foro mas amplio en el que se incorporan problemas afines, ofreciendose una vision mas general del Estado Liquido. Creemos que este encuentro ha servido, una vez mas, para promover el intercambio de experiencias entre todos aquellos que trabajan en problemas afines, aunque lo suficientemente diferentes como para que la discusion pueda incorporar nuevas perspectivas a nuestra linea de trabajo.Nuestro objetivo es que este volumen sea representativo de la Actividad Cientifica que se desarrolla en España en el campo de los Coloides e Interfases, asi como en algunos aspectos del Estado Liquido. La reunion antes mencionada supero con creces nuestras expectativas en cuanto a participacion (120 asistentes) y aportaciones (43 comunicaciones orales y 80 posters). Asi mismo, es muy grato haber podido atraer la atencion de un numero muy considerable de estudiantes y jovenes doctores, que son el recurso humano que garantiza la evolucion de la investigacion en este campo cientifico. Esperamos que con este libro se culmine con exito el trabajo invertido por los organizadores y participantes a la reunion, que sea de utilidad y que nos haga recordar el entrañable ambiente de trabajo y ocio que pudimos disfrutar durante unos dias.

Combustion, the process of burning, is defined as a chemical reaction between a combustible reactant (the fuel) and an oxidizing agent (such as air) in order to produce heat and in most cases light while new chemical species (e.g., flue gas components) are formed. This book covers a gap on the market by providing a concise introduction to combustion. Most of the other books currently available are targeted towards the experienced users and contain too many details and/or contain knowledge at a fairly high level. This book provides a brief and clear overview of the combustion basics, suitable for beginners and then focuses on practical aspects, rather than theory, illustrated by a number of industrial applications as examples. The content is aimed to provide a general understanding of the various concepts, techniques and equipment for students at all level as well as practitioners with little or no prior experience in the field. The authors are all international experts in the field of combustion technology and adopt here a clear didactic style with many practical examples to cover the most common solid, liquid and gaseous fuels. The associated environmental impacts are also discussed so that readers can develop an understanding of the major issues and the options available for more sustainable combustion processes.
