Mass and heat transfer resistivities at liquid–vapor interfaces: Beyond the ideal gas
(International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, 2025) Struchtrup, Henning
The classical Hertz–Knudsen–Schrage (HKS) model for non-equilibrium mass and heat transfer across liquid–vapor interfaces is extended to account for real gas effects and non-linearity. Specifically, the HKS relations are re-derived for a temperature and velocity dependent condensation coefficient (Tsuruta et al., 1999) and combined with real gas property relations derived from the Enskog–Vlasov (EV) equation (Struchtrup and Frezzotti, 2022). The resulting non-linear Tsuruta–EV–HKS model is valid for mass and heat transfer up to the critical point. The resulting interfacial resistivities exhibit marked dependence on temperature, with resistivities strongly decreasing towards the critical point, as well as non-linear dependence on mass and heat flux.
Changes in social and economic relations among rural women in Northern Thailand
(1999) Ames, Angeline; Warburton, Rennie
This research explores various changes which have taken place in social and economic relations among rural women in Chiang Mai, Northern Thailand. It mainly focuses on the income-generating activities of Northern rural Thai women which are aimed at improving their social and economic wellbeing. Based on field work and interviews with selected members from five rural women’s economic development projects in Chiang Mai Province, changes in social and economic relations and how the projects have
benefitted Northern rural Thai women are presented in the following manner. Members' social and economic relations are examined within the context of capitalist-patriarchy which continues to produce exploitative and oppressive relations in many developing regions around the world. However, I suggest that forms of rural women' s economic development are taking place in Northern Thailand outside of mainstream capitalist development. Within this context, I conclude that rural Thai women are benefitting from the five economic projects presented in this thesis as they continue to achieve moderate income levels, leadership roles, control over their own finances, employment in rural areas, and resistance to patriarchy and the negative consequences of global capitalism. This kind of rural women' s economic activity is seen as an alternative to the mainstream processes of economic development and is a form of resistance to capitalist-patriarchy and its devastating consequences.
The lived experience of organizational change for alcohol and drug workers
(1998) Crisp, Fiona Campbell; Armitage, Andrew
A phenomenological approach was used to explore the lived experiences of alcohol and drug workers with organizational change brought about by the creation of the Ministry for Children and Families in British Columbia. Five alcohol and drug workers, three female and two male, were each interviewed twice concerning their experiences. Participants' responses fell under the topic areas of organizational change, decision making and leadership, changes in work culture, practice issues, loss, coping and dealing with change and stress, and oppo11unities. Participants were concerned with the lack of clarity regarding the goals of the change, and decision making and leadership. They were trying to adjust to a dramatic change in work culture, which impacted their day-to-day work. Despite experiencing a loss of the old system, participants found many ways to cope with the change and identified opportunities which could be pursued.
