To study the coupled thermo-hydrologic-geomechanical processes and their influence on gas and nuclide transport in a two phase flow through the porous medium, a coupling of the thermo-hydrodynamic code TOUGH2 and the thermo-mechanic code FLAC3D is described and applied to analyze three dimensional gas, heat and nuclide transport in a repository for disposal of heat generating nuclear waste in a...

Background and Objectives: Thermal processing is an effective method in preventing microbial spoilage but high heat transfer in a long time process that leads to quality loss and increased energy consumption. Also it is important to consider sensitive nature of food products during the thermal processing. Due to the nano-fluids' unique thermo–physical properties compared with the conventional f...

The mechanical properties of a metallic product depend strongly on both phase composition and microstructure of a polycrystalline product and large development efforts for the design of novel materials deal with these issues. Besides the physical parameters, the artwork is to perform the right thermo-mechanical processing, which for highly designed materials can be very sophisticated. Therefore...

Abstract Thermo-anodization technology has been considered as an effective means to improve the thermal, physical and chemical properties for metal alloy. In this work, we achieve a porous black layer on surface of aluminium alloy through environmentally friendly anodic oxidation process, with high thermal emittance (0.96) solar absorptivity (0.921). addition, thermo-anodized coating shows uniq...

The in-plane thermo-elastic behaviour of woven fabric reinforced composites is analysed using a combination of published micromechanics and finite element techniques. The repetitive unit of an arbitrary woven fabric composite is divided into elements of which the thermo-elastic properties are determined using micromechanics. The properties of the repetitive unit are obtained using the finite el...
