Scientists Study C
forming Jet Trails
St. Paul, Minn. - (Science
Service)-Equations promise to
explain tne water-vapor trails
of jet planes in the sky.
To the American Institute
of Chemical Enginers, T. En
glehart, A. Lieberman and
J. Roskinski, of .the Armouj
Research Foundation, ?eport
ed. that the large amounts of
water discharged by modern
jets are currently under
study.
UndM" certain conditions,
the vapor becomes' supersat
urated and water droplets
condense to form a visilble
trail. Due to the cooling of the
trail and to the turbulence
these droplets grow by con
densation - and coalescence.
Evaporation serves to elim
inate those droplets which
form but never reach a' stable
size. . .
The scientists proposed a
new form of the coalescence
rate equation to make pos
sible more accurate calcula
tion of the droplet size distri
bution at any stage in the
growth of the trail. This
awaits experimental verification.
