Cooling down time measurements carried out at LEAR with 4.2 MeV/nucleon Pb ions and various combinations of lattice functions led to unexpected results. Notably, a finite dispersion was found to decrease strongly the horizontal cooling down times. Furthermore, intermediate betatron functions yielded shorter cooling down times than large ones and an increase of the cooler length by a factor 2 di...

One of the most important methods of transporting natural gas in Iran and other parts of the world is the utilization of a network of pipelines. Compression station and turbo compressor units play an important role in gas supply through pipelines. One of the primary concerns in these units is the reduction of fuel consumption. By cooling of exhaust gas from the source station, the pressure ...

BACKGROUND Clinical studies reporting the outcome of zirconia-based restorations indicate that the strength of the zirconia frameworks is sufficient to withstand masticatory forces. However, a significant incidence of cohesive fracture of the veneering porcelain has been reported. The aim of this study was to investigate spontaneous crack development (chipping, rupture) in a range of porcelains...

Nowadays, in some small and medium-sized heat pumps, refrigerant R410A has been used widely because of the good thermodynamic performance and environmental protection. Firstly the principles of the system and the characteristics of refrigerant has been demonstrates. The paper has set up a heat pump system with the refrigerant R410A and the performance parameters under different working conditio...

BACKGROUND Pharyngeal cooling decreases brain temperature by cooling carotid arteries. This study was designed to evaluate the principle of pharyngeal cooling in monkeys and humans. METHODS Monkeys (n = 10) were resuscitated following 12 min of cardiac arrest. Pharyngeal cooling (n = 5), in which cold saline (5°C) was perfused into the cuff at the rate of 500 ml/min, was initiated simultaneou...

Context. The thermal structure of Titan’s thermosphere is determined by the balance between several heating and cooling processes. These processes must be accurately modeled to correctly interpret the available measurements and enhance our understanding of the formation and evolution of this atmosphere. One of the most important thermospheric cooling process for Titan is emission in the HCN rot...

A prediction of the galaxy cluster cooling flow model is that as gas cools from the ambient cluster temperature, emission lines are produced in gas at subsequently decreasing temperatures. Gas passing through 10 K emits in the lines of O VI λλ1032, 1035, and here we report a FUSE study of these lines in three cooling flow clusters, Abell 426, Abell 1795, and AWM 7. No emission was detected from...

The thermal evolution of Earth is governed by the rate of secular cooling and the amount of radiogenic heating. If mantle heat sources are known, surface heat flow at different times may be used to deduce the efficiency of convective cooling and ultimately the temporal character of plate tectonics. We estimate global heat flow from 65 Ma to the present using seafloor age reconstructions and a m...

In the JLab Electron Ion Collider (JLEIC) project the traditional electron cooling technique is used to reduce the ion beam emittance at the booster ring, and to compensate the intrabeam scattering effect and maintain the ion beam emittance during collision at the collider ring. A new electron cooling process simulation program has been developed to fulfill the requirements of the JLEIC electro...

Low frequency dielectric measurements on plexiglass (PMMA) show that cooling and heating the sample at constant rate give an hysteretic dependence on temperature of the dielectric constant ǫ. A temporary stop of cooling produces a downward relaxation of ǫ. Two main features are observed i) when cooling is resumed ǫ goes back to the values obtained without the cooling stop (i.e. the low temperat...
