The use of thermal and non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma to solve problems related agriculture biomedicine is the focus this paper. Plasma in equilibrium used where heat required. In agriculture, it treat soil land contaminated by products biomass, plastics, post-hospital pharmaceutical waste combustion, also ecological phenomena that have recently been observed, such as droughts, floods ...

application of feed pellets in animal and aquatic farming industries has grown because of both the physical and the nutritional benefits it provides. development of feed pellets manufacturing industry is also considerable. steam conditioning process, which plays an important role in pelleting production, includes heating feed particles, adding moisture, and mixing the mash. pellets cooling and ...

Building structures made from fir wood are often attacked by wood-destroying insects for which the terpenes it contains serve as attractants. One of the possibilities for extending the lifetime of structures is to use older wood with a lower content of terpenes and/or thermally modified wood. The study evaluated the levels of terpenes in naturally aged fir wood (108, 146, 279, 287 and 390 years...

Recent high quality broad-band X-ray and gamma-ray observations of Galactic black holes by ASCA, Ginga, RXTE, and CGRO show that the spectra cannot be described by simple thermal Comptonization models (even including a fully relativistic treatment). Multi-component models accounting for Comptonization by thermal and non-thermal electrons, Compton reflection of X/γ-rays from cold matter, and emi...

this work presents the heat transfer characteristics of a new type of porous radiant air heater that operates on the basis of effective energy conversion method between flowing gas enthalpy and thermal radiation. at each layer, the gas and solid phases are considered in non-local thermal equilibrium, and combustion in the porous radiant burner is modeled by considering a non-uniform heat genera...

Microwave irradiation has been successfully applied in organic chemistry. Spectacular accelerations, higher yields under milder reaction conditions and higher product purities have all been reported. Indeed, a number of authors have described success in reactions that do not occur by conventional heating and even modifications of selectivity (chemo-, regio- and stereoselectivity). The effect of...

We discuss images of M87 from 3.6 to 160 μm obtained with Spitzer. As found previously, there is an excess in the far infrared over a simple power law interpolation from the radio to the resolved nonthermal features in the mid-infrared and optical. We show that this excess is most likely warm dust in the galaxy itself, and that the properties of this emission component are similar to the far in...

Mirage effect is contactless and non destructive method which has been used a lot to determine thermal properties of different  kind of samples , transverse photothermal deflection PTD in  skimming configuration with ccd camera  and special programs is used to determine thermal conductivity of porous silicon ps  film. Ps samples were prepared by electrochemical etching. Thermal conductivity wit...
