There are significant resources of oil shale in the western United States, which if exploited in an environmentally responsible manner would provide secure access to transportation fuels. Understanding the kinetics of kerogen decomposition to oil is critical to designing a viable process. A dataset of thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) of the Green River oil shale is provided and two distinct da...

The generalized Fermi-Dirac thermo-statistics is developed for relativistic nuclear matter. We introduce the generalized thermodynamic potential using the q-deformed exponential and logarithm. The baryon density has a form of the qexpectation value. Then, we use the mapping of the non-extensive thermo-statistics onto the extensive one. Therefore, the Clausius extensive entropy and the physical ...

Western Blot analysis. Protein concentration was measured using BCA kit (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL, USA) and protein lysates were separated by SDS-PAGE and then blotted onto Hybond-C extra membranes (GE Healthcare, Buckinghamshire, UK) for Western blot analysis. Antigen-antibody reaction was detected using Super Signal West Pico and Femto chemiluminescent substrate kits according to manuf...

A nonlinear heat conduction equation is studied, and the maximal thermo-geometric parameter in the equation is analytically determined, above which thermal instability occurs. The first-order result yields an acceptable error, and the variational iteration method is recommended for a higher accurate prediction. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: 35K05, 35Q79, 80A20, 34B15

In the present work, a Fe–Mn–Si shape memory alloy containing V and C has been fabricated by laser powder bed fusion for first time. A pronounced pseudo-elasticity compared to similar but conventionally manufactured is achieved after aging treatment, as result of fine microstructure developed during process evaporation Mn. The formation high precipitate densities also responsible improved therm...

In the work presented in this contribution we have investigated the reduction of dynamical thermo-mechanical systems and we propose a new reduction method that can be seen as an extension of the common Craig-Bampton method [2] where multiphysics is now implicitly included in the projection basis. The efficiency of this new approach has been evaluated in multiple configuration of a representativ...

Carlos E. Laciana Instituto de Astronomı́a y F́ısica del Espacio Casilla de Correo 67 Sucursal 28, 1428 Buenos Aires, Argentina E-mail: [email protected] A physical system composed by a scalar field minimally coupled to gravity and a thermal reservoir, as in thermo field dynamics, all of then in curved space time, is considered. When the formalism of thermo field dynamics is generalized to the ...

Acknowledging that what is currently defined as ‘pressure’ should not have reason to exist without the existence of a gravity field, the connection between thermodynamics and gravity can be easily made clear. Comprehensive thermo-gravitational equilibrium conditions may be defined without raising any doubt about the validity of the conventional thermodynamic and gravitational equilibrium condit...

We present a combination of transient electro-thermal simulations of three-dimensional interconnect structures and the calculation of their coupled intrinsic thermo-mechanical stress distributions. For the numerical solution of the electro-thermal as well as the thermo-mechanical stress problem, we apply the finite element method. A practical example is presented where the temperature and the p...

The behaviour of ultrasonic wave propagation through liquid solution has become an important tool for studying physical and chemical properties of liquid solutions. The density, viscosity and ultrasonic velocity of of cholesteryl oleyl carbonate have been studied. From the experimental data various thermo acoustical parameters such as free volume, internal pressure and Rao’s constant and Wada’s...
