Thermodynamics of Seasonal Lake Ice
The heat content of a lake ice cover consists mainly of the latent heat lost in the ice formation. Cooling of lake surface water is due to radiative...
-
Atmospheric Thermodynamics
Thermodynamics represents a branch of physics which deals with the energy and work of the system and the energy transfer from one place to another....
