How scientists measure evaporation from river and land surfaces
This book presents a practical study that places two evaporation pans at Iowa City: one floated in the Iowa River and one sunk on the nearby bank. It explains how readings were taken, what tools were used, and how temperature and humidity data were incorporated to interpret evaporation patterns. The goal is to compare how different surroundings affect daily water loss from open water surfaces.
Readers will encounter a straightforward method showing how small amounts of water are tracked over time, how precipitation is accounted for, and how weather conditions influence evaporation. The work also notes the limits of a short observation period and suggests what a longer series could reveal about patterns of evaporation.
Ideal for readers curious about early 20th‑century hydrology and field methods for studying evaporation.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the effects of electrical discharge on flame characteristics. It explores how an electrical current can alter a flame's luminosity, temperature, and even its chemical composition. The author provides a detailed account of experiments using both direct and alternating currents, highlighting the distinct effects observed with each type. The book places these findings in the context of existing knowledge about electrical discharge, offering a fresh perspective on this phenomenon. By combining theoretical explanations with experimental results, the author presents a comprehensive understanding of how electrical discharge shapes flame behavior, providing valuable insights for researchers and practitioners in the fields of combustion and plasma physics.
