With increasing efficiency standards and higher energy costs, the demand for reversible air-conditioning/heat pump systems is increasing throughout the stationary market. The heat exchangers in such reversible systems must perform reliably as both evaporator and condenser. The outdoor coil, specifically, is subject to very large changes in both operational pressures and temperatures. With this ...

We study tunneling of massless and massive particles through the smeared quantum horizon of the extra-dimensional Schwarzschild black holes. The emission rate of the particles’ tunneling is modified by noncommutativity effects in a bulk spacetime of dimension d. The issues of information loss and possible correlations between emitted particles are discussed. We show that even by considering bot...

Single crystals of the semiorganic materials, L-alanine sodium nitrate (LASN) and D-alanine sodium nitrate (DASN), were grown from an aqueous solution by slow-evaporation technique. X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies were carried for the doped grown crystals. The absorption of these grown crystals was analyzed using UV-Vis-NIR studies, and it was found that these crystals possess minimum absorptio...

2014 Novel methods for the material synthesis, crystal growth and film preparation of CuInS2 were developed, some of their properties were characterized. CuInS2 single crystals were grown by iodine vapour transport. The habit-planes were determined to be (112) and (110). The lattice parameters were determined to be a = 5.517 Å, c = 11.122 Å (tetragonal). The as-grown crystals were n-type with r...

the aim of this study was to prepare liposomes of acyclovir (acy) by thin layer evaporation (tle) and reverse phase evaporation (rev) methods. twenty-seven batches of liposomes from each method were prepared using technique of three variables at three levels (33) factorial design. drug/lipid (molar ratio), hydration volume and hydration time were considered three independent variables in tle me...

We demonstrate a new hybrid optoelectric technique that can manipulate objects across several length scales. The technique leverages a variety of different physical mechanisms to achieve the dynamic manipulation of droplets and also the in situ concentration of colloidal particles suspended in the droplets. Various physical mechanisms such as optoelectrowetting, electrothermal flows, and ac ele...

355 nm high-reflective multilayer coatings with or without coevaporated interfaces (CEIs) were prepared by electron beam evaporation under the same deposition condition. Their transmission spectra, surface roughness, and mechanical stress properties were evaluated. Elemental composition analysis of the multilayer interfaces was performed using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and laser-induced...

We find analytical solutions to the Cahn-Hilliard equation for the dynamics of an interface in a system with a conserved order parameter (Model B). We show that, although steady-state solutions of Model B are unphysical in the far-field, they shed light on the local dynamics of an interface. Exact solutions are given for a particular class of orderparameter potentials, and an expandable integra...

A repeatable method based on conventional micro fabrication techniques for creating sharpened emitters from porous tungsten has been explored. A laboratory demonstration thruster comprised of 49 of these porous tungsten emitters has been built and tested. The demonstration device operates on the electrostatic field evaporation of ions from ionic liquids. The emitters are contained in three line...

effect of seed priming on germination and seedling growth of sesame investigated under controlled conditions. the primed seeds with znso4 had the maximum germination percentage whereas the highest germination rate was observed in hydro-primed seeds. the treated seeds with peg showed the best growth of the seedlings and rootlet. the complementary field experiment was conducted to evaluate the ef...
