    Boundary conditions for 3d current flow through water

    I've forgotten a lot of field theory so I've been rereading it in a couple of electric field theory textbooks. What seems like a simple problem falls between the cracks. I hope some readers can help - it will be appreciated. My application seems simple (solution will require numerical FEA but...

    How Does Saturation Affect Radiative Transfer in the Atmosphere?

    But, for example, Prof. F.W. Taylor of Oxford University in Elementary Climate Physics describes a band model and comments about the "strong condition": He goes on to derive from that particular band model the modification to the absorption equations as a result. So I don't think the...

    How Does Saturation Affect Radiative Transfer in the Atmosphere?

    Re: the absorption & re-emission of long-wave radiation in the Earth's atmosphere. I thought it all made sense until I was trying to work out how to explain it better to others! So the Beer-Lambert equation describes the absorption at a given wavelength as exp(-k.z) where k is a constant...

    Relationship between d.c. volts and electrolysis in steel

    We use a 10v a.c. signal through to a small steel sensor (SMO 254) in wastewater - and the control device looks for a conductive path to ground to determine that the level of liquid is over the sensor. We don't use d.c. because of the electrolysis effect - but the circuit we use could have a...
