Both the Power Industry and the petrochemical industries use the aircraft-type turbine. The Power Industry uses these units in a combined cycle mode for power generation especially in remote areas where the power requirements are less than 100 MW. The petrochemical industry uses these types of turbines on offshore platforms especially for gas re-injection, and as power plants for these offshore platforms, mostly due to their compactness and the ability to be easily replaced and then sent out to be repaired. The aeroderivative gas turbine also is used widely by gas transmission companies and petrochemical plants, especially for many variable speed mechanical drives. These turbines are also used as main drives for Destroyers and Cruise Ships. The benefits of the aeroderivative gas turbines are ... 

Adhesive strength is evaluated at room temperature as well as at the extreme temperatures of —65°F and 180°F. Aircraft structure can reach —65°F at cruise altitudes and 180°F on the ground in a hot, sunny location. The types of toughened epoxies commonly used for metal bond adhesives have glass transition temperatures not much greater than 200°F, so properties fall off drastically at higher temperatures.

Payload capacity for civil transports is given in number of passengers for the C-17 it is in pounds. Payloads and cruising speeds were unavailable for the fighter planes. 

Good fuel economy at steady-state highway cruising speeds. 

Such tight mixture control is beyond the capability of the traditional carburetor. Consequently, after sorting through a number of alternatives, industry has settled on closed-loop-controlled port-fuel injection. Typically, an electronically controlled fuel injector is mounted in the intake port to each cylinder. A sensor in the air intake system tells an onboard computer what the airdow rate is, and the computer tells the fuel injectors how much fuel to inject for a stoichiometric ratio. An oxygen sensor checks the oxygen content in the exliaust stream and tells the computer to make a correction if the air/fuel ratio has drifted outside the desired range. This closed-loop control avoids unnecessary use ot an inefficient rich mixture during vehicle cruise. 

Parsons loved travel and the sea. It was on a cruise to the West Indies that he died aboard ship on February 11, 1931, in Kingston Harbor, Jamaica.

The actual pressure exerted by the atmosphere varies with altitude and weather. The pressure of the atmosphere at the cruising height of a commercial jetliner (10 km) is only about 200 Torr (about 0.3 atm), and so airplane cabins must be pressurized. A very low pressure atmospheric region, such as an area of low pressure on the weather chart in Fig. 4.6, typically has a pressure of about 0.98 atm at sea level. A typical region of high pressure is about 1.03 atm. 

The density of the atmosphere varies greatly from place to place, as does its composition and temperature. The average composition of dry air (air from which water vapor has been removed) is shown in Table 4.4. One reason for the nonuniformity of air is the effect of solar radiation, which causes different chemical reactions at different altitudes. The density of air also varies with altitude. For example, the air outside an airplane cruising at 10 km is only 25% as dense as air at sea level.

A globally based measurement network for atmospheric Hg does not exist. Longterm measurements of TGHg have, however, been performed at some land-based stations. Data from remote marine sites are mainly available from research cruises. Recently, Slemr et al. (2003) compiled TGHg data from a number of permanent stations and oceanic cruises for the northern and southern hemispheres (Figure 2.7). Although the data set is incomplete, a peak in TGHg concentrations seems to have...
