Seuss

As we ve di,seussed, system design is responsible for much of cavitation. Yet, the maintenanee mechanic is responsible for stopping and preventing eavitation. And certainly, it s the maintenance mechanic who has to deal with the results of cavitation, the constant changing of bearings, meehanical seals, damaged impellers, wear rings and other pump parts.

Seuss Effect The lowering of the " C/C in atmospheric CO2 as a result of the burning of fossil fuels. 

The following information may be slightly exaggerated, but everyone I meet tells me that Dr. Seuss s To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street was rej ected 24 times. Silence of the Lambs 28 times, Catch-22 21 times, and Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance more than 100 times. Twenty publishers felt that Richard Bach s Jonathan Livingston Seagull was for the birds. It went on to sell millions of copies around the world.

Use of this vapor-phase deuterium exchange reaction between steam and hydrogen was proposed independently in 1941 by Harteck and co-workers in Germany and by Urey and co-workers in the United States as a means for recovering deuterium from electrolytic hydrogen. Harteck and Seuss [C3, G3] developed a supported nidcel catalyst that caused the... 

The equilibrium constant ka for the gas-liquid reaction has also been determined by a number of investigators. Results at several temperatures are given in Table 13.22. Data of Geib and Seuss have been computed from their equation for k given in Table 13.21 and their equation (13.146) fora ...

Carbon can remain in the SOC pool for a long period after its assimilation by vegetation. This means that not all carbon in the SOC pool is in equilibrium with the isotopic composition of the modern atmosphere due to a decrease in the C value of the atmosphere as a result of fossil fuel burning since industrialization (Freidli et al, 1986 Bird et al, 1996). Old carbon will therefore be enriched by up to 1.5%o compared to recent carbon. This terrestrial Seuss effect needs to be considered when calculating the (S C value of CO2 respired to the atmosphere from the SOC pool (Fung et ai, 1997). 

At the regional/global level, there have been relatively few observational studies of variations in SOC S C value. Bird et al. (1996) demonstrated the existence of a latitudinal gradient in the d"C value of surface SOC in forest soils, with tropical forest soils having approximately l-1.5%o lower d C values than those of high-latitude forest soils. This was attributed to a temperature gradient in the turnover times for carbon in the soil (the terrestrial Seuss effect ) and possibly to a 0.5%o temperature effect (Bird and Pousai, 1997).
