Fe-Cr-Co alloys are becoming important as a half-hard magnet for their novel applications, including non-contact electromagnetic brakes, because of the controllability its magnetic hardness depending on modulated structure formed by spinodal decomposition. However, experimental optimization complicated heat-treatment process to control microstructure significantly increases development cost, an...

An analytical model for transport of rarefied non-isothermal gas in a cylinder with repulsive wall–gas interaction is developed, solving the stationary, collisionless Boltzmann equation. The results are compared to well-known ordinary Knudsen diffusion, and effect wall presented as correction factors results. Detailed physical interpretations given, showing how inhibits particle flow through cy...

However, the temperature maps as provided by the method of Aschwanden et al. involve several strong assumptions. In particular, these temperature maps are assuming an isothermal plasma, which is a coarse approximation of what the true corona is; it certainly does not hold during flaring activity, and it is likely too to be incorrect too during transients, such as your heat fronts. In addition, ...

Isothermal calorimetric titration of 18-crown-6 ether with BaCl2 in pure aqueous solution over the temperature range 7-40 degrees C gives precise binding constants and enthalpy changes. Nonlinear least-squares fitting of the binding constants to the integrated van't Hoff equation, including a temperature-independent change in heat capacity, leads to van't Hoff enthalpies that differ significant...

Abstract—A new algorithm based on the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is proposed as a potential solver for one-dimensional heat and mass transfer for isothermal carbonization of wood particles. To check the validity of this algorithm, the LBM results have been compared with the published data and a good agreement is obtained. Then, the model is used to study the effect of reactor temperature an...

Purpose In this experiment you will examine the effect of temperature on retention in isothermal gas chromatography, and use this information to determine the heat of solution of the solute in the stationary phase and to determine the temperature for optimum retention. You will also examine the effect of flow rate on efficiency and construct a van Deemter plot, and determine the flow rate for o...

BACKGROUND Buruli ulcer (BU) caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans (M. ulcerans) has emerged as an important public health problem in several rural communities in sub-Saharan Africa. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are important in preventing disfiguring complications associated with late stages of the disease progression. Presently there is no simple and rapid test that is appropriate for earl...

This paper gives similarity transformations for laminar film condensation on a vertical flat plate with variable temperature distribution and finds analytical solutions for arbitrary Prandtl numbers and condensation rates. The work contrasts with Sparrow and Gregg’s assertion that wall temperature variation does not permit similarity solutions. To resolve the long debatable issue regarding heat...

This thesis presents experimental work performed to develop a sensitive screening test procedure for biomass pellets, using isothermal calorimetry for direct measurement of the heat production rate. This method can be used to directly compare the reactivity, that is how prone the fuel is to self-heating, of different batches of biomass pellets. The results could be used for safety assessment by...
