Lapse rate is the rate of temperature decrease with height in the atmosphere. The various classes of lapse rate are the inversion(negative lapse rate), isothermal(zero lapse rate), weak lapse, dry adiabatic(0. 98°C/100 meters or 5. 4°/1000 ft), and superadiabatic(greater than 0. 98°C/100 meters). 3, record 1, English, - superadiabatic

The amount of work that must be done per unit quantity of pure water in order to transport reversibly and isothermally an infinitesimal quantity of water, identical in composition with the soil water, from a pool at the elevation and the external gas pressure of the point under consideration, to the soil water. 4, record 3, English, - capillary%20potential
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Matric potential is the most important component in soil, but is more difficult to visualize. Water will not freely leave soil unless soil is very wet. This is because of adhesion and cohesion. Imagine placing a clump of dry soil on a table, then dropping a drop of water onto the clump of dry soil. If you elevate the soil off of the table, will the water leap out of it, dropping to the table? Of course not. It will stay in the soil, held by adhesion, or what we often call matric forces. The symbol for matric potential is [psi subscript m]. These values are negative or zero, but never positive, because this water is not free to move to the zero state.... The matric potential of a soil refers to the potential of the most easily removed molecule... 5, record 3, English, - capillary%20potential
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 2 CONT
This work is less than zero, or negative work, thus reported in negative values. Matric potential nearly equals water potential in nonsalty soils. 6, record 3, English, - capillary%20potential

Installing an Ionics RCC Zero Liquid Discharge system was... the needed solution to address the Jacksonville, Florida community's environmental concerns around building the 250 MW [coal-fired cogeneration] plant. A membrane-based process(RO) was used to preconcentrate the plant's wastewater, thus minimizing the feed volume to the Ionics RCC Evaporators. The RO product water is returned to the cooling tower for makeup and the RO reject is fed to two Ionics RCC Brine Concentrators which recover the feed as high quality distillate for additional makeup. Subsequently, the evaporator brine is concentrated in a 50 gpm Ionics RCC Crystallizer, producing dry solids for disposal. Total water recovery from the zero liquid discharge system is 98%. 3, record 4, English, - zero%20liquid%20discharge%20equipment
