A two-dimensional transient axi-symmetric model was developed to study the effects of various thermal and geometric parameters on cyclic heating and cooling modes of a phase-change thermal energy storage system. The high-temperature thermal energy storage device utilizes LiH for heat sink applications to store the waste heat generated during power-burst periods. The stored heat is then discharg...

in this paper we introduce two symmetric variants of amenability, symmetric module amenability and symmetric connes amenability. we determine symmetric module amenability and symmetric connes amenability of some concrete banach algebras. indeed, it is shown that $ell^1(s)$ is  a symmetric $ell^1(e)$-module amenable if and only if $s$ is amenable, where $s$ is an inverse semigroup with subsemigr...

We propose that stress can decrease the internal friction of amorphous solids, either by increasing the potential barriers of defects, thus reducing their tunneling and thermal activation that produce loss, or by decreasing the coupling between defects and phonons. This stress can be from impurities, atomic bonding constraints, or externally applied stress. Externally applied stress also reduce...

the present paper deals with the prediction of three-dimensional fluid flow and heat transfer in rib-roughened ducts of square cross-section. such flows are of direct relevance to the internal cooling system of modern gas turbine blades. the main objective is to assess how a recently developed variant of a cubic non-linear model (proposed by craft et al. (1999)), that has been shown to produce ...

As with other tissues, exposing the mammalian CNS to nonlethal heat stress (i.e., thermal preconditioning) increases levels of heat-shock proteins (Hsps) such as Hsp70 and enhances the viability of neurons under subsequent stress. Using a medullary slice preparation from a neonatal mouse, including the site of the neural network that generates respiratory rhythm (the pre-Bötzinger complex), we ...

Thermal residual stresses exist within a body in the absence of external loading or thermal gradients. Processing of the composites often involves cooling from higher temperature resulting in thermal residual stresses in the matrix due to restraint imposed by reinforcements. Thermal residual stresses determinately affect the properties of materials thereby shortening their lifetime. These resid...

The present study aims to investigate the analysis of stress, strain, displacement, and electrical potential of a thick hollow cylinder made of FGPM under mechanical and thermal loads. Distribution of mechanical property of material is considered along the shell stick through the power distribution function. Thermal loads have been taken to signify the difference of temperature between outer an...

there are some computer programs to calculate germination related traits such as germin which have using problems. the aim of this work was to adjust germin for calculating germination related traits. seed aging effects on the seedling emergence was modeled using the optimized germin. this study was conducted based on completely randomized design in a factorial combination of five seeds aging t...

The second paper of the series discusses the effect of thermal noise on the stretching vibrational dynamics of symmetric triatomic ABA molecules. In particular, noise-induced transitions between symmetric and antisymmetric normal-mode vibrations are discussed, in the context of symmetry breaking of vibrational dynamics. The statistics of symmetry breaking transitions and the average lifetimes o...

This paper considers the stress distributions in bonded materials induced by differential expansion or contraction of these materials. The analytical approach is similar to the lap joint theories attributed to Volkersen and expanded by Goland and Reissner. Several simple and typical analytical models are presented to bring out the relative importance of dlrerent geometrical and material paramet...
