Sentences with phrase «greater air density»

The cones in the sidewalls have holes, which dehydrate the tip of the roots due to a sudden greater air density in the soil, resulting in the air - pruning.

Not exact matches

Light bends anytime it passes through air, but when the air temperature varies dramatically over a short distance, causing it to have great fluctuations in density, it can bend light so much that a mirage occurs.

In particular, the metal - air batteries with significantly greater energy density close to that of gasoline per kilogram, has recently been acknowledged and invested by world's leading companies, like IBM.

Because water has greater density than air and flows are more constant than wind, underwater turbines can deliver much more energy than wind turbines.

They say air density was probably no greater than 1.3 kilograms per cubic metre — comparable to today's 1.2 kg / m3 (Nature, DOI: 10.1038 / nature10890).

If you put a fish in air, however, the difference in the density of the air and tissue is so great that sound waves will mostly be reflected.

The team noticed a greater density of lightning in locations where ships blast emissions, including sulfur and nitrogen oxides, into the air.

The collaboration will study fusion in a relatively unexplored intermediate density regime between the lower - than - air density of magnetic confinement fusion (MCF) that is studied at the ITER project in southern France, and the greater - than - solid density of laser - driven inertial confinement fusion (ICF) at the National Ignition Facility at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

Because water has much greater density and resistance than air, you will get a great resistance workout as well.

Whilst technically a car has more power in colder air because the relative density of colder air is greater and therefore contains more oxygen than warm air, it should not cause the behavior you describe.

Key differences between the RS and other more timid Focus models include a new low - inertia twin - scroll turbocharger with a larger compressor (to deliver much greater airflow) and a monstrous intercooler to maximize air charge density, a less restrictive intake design, and a large bore exhaust system with an electronically controlled valve to optimize back pressure and reduce offensive noise.

The intercooler helps reduce the temperature of air entering the engine, increasing its density for greater performance.

Maximum incoming solar heating occurs there but the greatest temperatures are near 50 km where the low density air requires very little energy to raise its temperature (think KE = 1/2 mv ^ 2 and fewer collisions with fewer air molecules yield greater v).

With the CO2 being introduced in this way, it merely displaces air, remaining in the flask because of its greater density.

In addition, the greater the altitude, the lower the air density, the fewer the collisions.

While it boasts a significantly greater pixel density — with the same resolution as the iPad Air — its color gamut remains the same.
