Arkansas, mercury

Recently, on a job in Arkansas City, I was able to force a jet to surge and lose its sonic boost, simply by raising the condensate level in its downstream condenser by just 6 in. Lowering the level drew down the jet s discharge pressure by a few millimeters of mercury and restored it to critical flow. 

According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), as of 2008, the world s primary mercury resources can be found in Ghina, Krygyzstan, Russia, Slovenia, Spain, and Ukraine. In the United States, mercury is found in states such as Alaska, Arkansas, Galifornia, Nevada, and Texas.
