The transient preheating process of a regenerative oxidation bed placed in a coal mine methane thermal reverse-flow reactor is numerically investigated in this paper. The regenerative oxidation bed is heated by the burned gas which is generated from a burner and is distributed through manifolds, which is modeled in a three-dimensional, unsteady state and laminar flow system, and is assumed as a...

We outline a scenario of galaxy formation in which the gas in galaxy-forming regions was preheated to high entropy by vigorous energy feedback associated with the formation of stars in old ellipticals and bulges and with AGN activity. Such preheating likely occurred at redshifts z ∼ 2 – 3, and can produce the entropy excess observed today in low-mass clusters of galaxies without destroying the ...

Background. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of preheating methacrylate- and silorane-based composite resins on their color stability up to 40 times at 55‒60°C. Methods. Seventy-six methacrylate and silorane-based composite resin samples, with a diameter of 10 mm and a height of 2 mm, were divided into 4 groups (n=19). After the samples were prepared, their color parameters w...

The intention of this study was to investigate the inactivation of endospores by a combined thermal and pulsed electric field (PEF) treatment. Therefore, self-cultivated spores of Bacillus subtilis and commercial Geobacillus stearothermophilus spores with certified heat resistance were utilized. Spores of both strains were suspended in saline water (5.3 mS cm(-1)), skim milk (0.3% fat; 5.3 mS c...

Abstract We consider the production of dark matter during process reheating after inflation. The relic density from freeze-in depends on both energy and distribution inflaton scattering or decay products composing radiation bath. compare perturbative non-perturbative calculations in radiation. also (likely) possibility that final state scalar are unstable. Assuming either thermal non-thermal fu...
