Surface elevation change

I. Hs - the static head, or the change in elevation of the liquid across the system. It is the difference in the liquid surface le el at the suction source or ve.s.sel, subtracted from the liquid surface level where the pump deposits the liejuid. The Hs is measured in feet of elevation change. Some systems do not have Hs or elevation... 

Surface-elevation changes (Figure 3), brought about by the explosive work, ranged from 1.20 in. at well 1 to 1.92 in. at well 3 in the five-spot test pattern to 0.84 and 0.60 in., respectively, at off pattern wells 6 and 7. The contours of surface elevation change indicated that the change was almost proportional to the distance from the NG1 injection well 3.

The long time scales (104 to 10s m.y.) involved in deformation and synkinematic isotope exchange in white mica provide a robust, long-term average of meteoric water-rock interaction, characteristic for the time scales of major readjustments in surface elevation. Thus the hydrogen isotope record in recrystallized muscovite provides a direct link between the tectonic and fluid flow history in the shear zone and temporal variations in meteoric water composition due to changing surface elevation. 

If the marsh surface is keeping up with changes in sea level, there should be measurable changes in its elevation over a span of a few years. Harrison and Bloom (1977) describe how these elevation changes are detected by measuring the depth of burial of marker beds placed on the... 

The same differences in velocity from top to bottom of the flow that we calculate here arel certainly present in all the horizontal-flow examples in this chapter. However, in a flow like that shown in Fig, 5.5, the difference in elevation from top to bottom of the exit flow is so small compared to the elevation change from the free surface in the tank to the centerline of the exit that we make a negligible error in ignoring the minor differences in velocity from top to bottom of the exit flow. The same is true of most flows of practical interest to chemical engineers. But for shallow gravity-driven flows, e.g., the flow over weirs in distillation columns, clarifiers, etc, we must take them into account. ... 

Finally, the components of PPA-1 and PPA-2 are optimized to prevent their migration from within solidified polyethylene. It is only in the melt phase under shear that the PPAs are allowed to function. To confirm this, the same films that were extruded for mechanical property measurements were evaluated over a year-long period for any surface changes. Surface energy and contact angle measurements, along with ESCA (Electron Spectroscopy for Chemical Analysis) and SSEMS (Static Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy) verified that there was no physical or chemical presence of intentionally elevated PPA levels. 

A zero or near-zero contact angle is necessary otherwise results will be low. This was found to be the case with surfactant solutions where adsorption on the ring changed its wetting characteristics, and where liquid-liquid interfacial tensions were measured. In such cases a Teflon or polyethylene ring may be used [47]. When used to study monolayers, it may be necessary to know the increase in area at detachment, and some calculations of this are available [48]. Finally, an alternative method obtains y from the slope of the plot of W versus z, the elevation of the ring above the liquid surface [49].
