Old Faithful Geyser Essay

Annotated Bibliography: Analysis on A Model of Hydrodynamics Principles in Old Faithful

I Introduction
Studies in intermittent fountain is especially crucial for the natural circulation systems in nuclear power plants. During the occurrence of the intermittent fountain, the bullets are periodically gushed from the exit of the heating section and are then condensed in the non-heated passages to induce intermittent flow oscillations. The condensation process results in local negative pressure, causing a rapid return of the system fluid and water hammer impact, which may lead to damage to the pipeline system structure, so it is necessary for intermittent fountain in-depth study. This thesis focuses on the questions such as what physical process is involved in each phase of geyser? How can we apply the analysis of geyser to the cooling system of nuclear reactors? By employing experiments and data reports to classify geyser phases and hydrodynamics theories and discussing the case of Old Faithful with various observations, this paper answers the questions above.

Pressure is measure within the water column of the geyser by detecting the seismic phenomenon on the surface of the geyser. The periodic change in pressure demonstrates that impulsive events in the geyser results in tremor at the geyser. And the tremor intensity is determined by the appearing frequency of these impulsive events. To further model the pressure data, Kedar and Kanamori explain the impulsive events as the collapse of spherical bubbles in the geyser. By introducing a quasi-static geyser model, they explain the bubble collapses as cooling events when water column reaches certain

  • The Naica Mine: The Cave Of Crystals

    561 Words  | 3 Pages

    This cave is located 1000 feet underground and contains many of the largest natural gypsum crystals in the world (2). These pillars of selenite gypsum measure up to 50 feet long and 4 feet in diameter (1). These crystals were able to form in such huge quantities because the area was submerged in water that was rich in minerals as well as having a high stable temperature of 136 degrees Fahrenheit (2). The water had an abundant amount of anhydrite and, because of this environment, it dissolved into gypsum and formed these massive crystals (2). The water has since drained out of the caves and the air in the caves normally stays between 45 and 50 degrees Celsius and the humidity levels range from 90 to 100 percent (3).

  • Symbolism In T. Craghessan Boyle's Greasy Lake

    “The Indians called it Wakan, a reference to the clarity of its waters. Now it was fetid and murky, the mud banks glittering with broken glass and strewn with beer cans and the charred murky remains of bonfires. There was a single ravaged island a hundred yards from shore, so stripped from vegetation it looked as if the air force had strafed it. We went up to the lake because everyone went there, because we wanted to snuff the rich scent of possibility on the breeze, watch a girl take off her clothes and plunge into the festering murk, drink beer, smoke pot, howl at the stars, savor the incongruous full-throated roar of rock and roll against the primeval susurrus of frogs and crickets.” (Boyle 168) “Greasy Lake”, written by T. Craghessan Boyle

  • The Fires Of Jubilee Essay

    The Fires of Jubilee is Stephen B. Oates jaw-dropping narrative of the dramatic events that took place in Southampton, Virginia in 1831. His book contains just a little examination or historiography, however centers the inconceivable extent of its 150+ pages on a direct recounting the rough occasions of the slave insubordination which broke out, and which will be associated with the name of its leader, Nat Turner. In Oates' record, white Virginia prided itself on its direct slave regime, even convincing itself that the slaves were not harassed into docility but rather were happy, slaves were extremely grateful for their lot. White Virginians looked down upon on what they viewed as the cruel and severe treatment of slaves in states known for

  • Analysis of 'This Is Water' by David Foster Wallace

    1763 Words  | 8 Pages

    David Foster Wallace’s commencement speech “This is Water” at Kenyon College is often thought of as one of the most influential speeches because it calls the graduates to observe the world around them through a different lens. However, he does not accomplish that by calling the graduates to action, but instead challenges them to use their education. He also appeals to the students’ emotions through his use of ethos, logos, and pathos. Although people mostly only remember the antidotes, it is the message associated with reoccurring emotions and literary devices throughout the speech that moves the reader into action. Wallace is able to captivate his audience and persuade them to view the world without themselves at the center through his tactful use of rhetoric.

    In Kate Chopin’s “The Awakening”, the main character, Edna Pontellier, becomes awakened to herself, her need for nonconformity, and her strength through water and the sea. The water and sea serves a multitude of everyday purposes such as swimming, bathing, and drinking. However, Edna’s experiences with water are extremely symbolic, “awakening” her as a woman(48). In her first experience of swimming- in which she had “attempted all summer to learn”-she grew “overconfident” and “wanted to swim far out, where no woman had swum before” (47).

    Wanda Sykes once quoted, “If you feel like there’s something out there that you’re supposed to be doing, if you have a passion for it, then stop wishing and do it.” This exhibits the idea of not letting others hold you back from pursuing a personal desire, or having a passion. Countless amounts of people follow what everyone else believes, but do not seem to recognize the truth behind what they’re following. Similarly, within The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and “Antigone,” both characters have a devotion for a specific situation. Additionally, these two literary characters have a strong passion, but ultimately face different opponents.

  • Essay On The Grand Canyon

    700 Words  | 3 Pages

    It proposed that no late Cenozoic uplift was necessary to explain the incision of the Grand Canyon. Instead, the rapid incision was only due to overflowing basins in three separate localities which are in the central Rocky Mountains, in the Hualapi basin, and in the Bouse Formation basins. Another study supports the lake overflow model which is about the formation and failure of “lava dams” in the western Grand Canyon. Isolated outcrops of horizontal, basaltic lava flows exist within the inner gorge of the western Grand Canyon and these indicate that several “lava dams” were formed during the Pleistocene that blocked the flow of the Colorado River. Because of this, several lakes were formed within the canyon.
