Based on Green–Lindsay generalized thermoelasticity theory, this paper presents a new refined higher-order time-derivative model. Thinner one-dimensional skin tissue is considered when its inner surface free of traction and does not show any temperature increase. The tissue’s bounding has been heated by ramp-type heating. classical thermoelastic theories are obtained from the present general fo...

Key parts of the ITER scenario are determined by the capability of the proposed poloidal field coil set. They include the plasma initiation at low voltage, the current rise phase, the performance during the flat top phase, and a ramp down of the plasma. The ITER discharge evolution has been verified in dedicated experiments. New data are obtained from C-Mod, AUG, DIII-D, JT-60U and JET. Results...

(La0.5,Sr0.5)CoO3 (LSCO) ®lms were prepared by a sol-gel method on silica grown by various methods such as thermal oxidation, plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) and atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (APCVD). Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was used as a wetting agent to improve the surface wetting behavior of the LSCO precursor solution onto the silica. The surface wetting o...

The present paper reports the heating rate effect on the phase transitions of a pure liquid crystal octylcyanobiphenyl (8CB) with use of Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Modulation Calorimetry (MC) techniques. The DSC runs were taken at various temperature ramp rates from 20 to 0.5 K/min for heating and cooling scans. Well-defined endothermic/exothermic peaks were found at the meltin...

Solubilization of sewage sludge creates favorable conditions for anaerobic microorganisms to produce biogas. In this paper, we quantify the effect of heating pretreatment on the degree of solubilization of sewage sludge. The pretreatment process was carried out using a lab-scale industrial microwave unit (2450 MHz frequency). Response surface analysis was applied to determine the combination of...
