The control of complex forming processes (e.g. glass forming processes) is a challenging topic due to the mostly strongly nonlinear behavior and the spatial distributed nature of the process. In this paper a new approach for the real-time control of a spatial distributed temperature profile of an industrial glass forming process is presented. As the temperature in the forming zone cannot be mea...

in this paper, differences in porosity, compressive strength and tablet- forming ability of carbamazepine crystals agglomerated under similar condition, but subjected to different drying temperatures are reported. the agglomerates were prepared by spherical crystallization method and thereafter dried without agitation at different temperature. an increased drying temperature did not affect the ...

fruit leather is one of dried product with variable production, good marketing and popular consumption in many countries of the world. in this research, the effect of concentration temperature (55-75 °c) and time (20-40 min) and drying temperature (40-70 °c) on the chemical composition (brix, ph, sugars and vitamin c) and the microbial properties of apple leather investigated. the results showe...

The process of ductile fracture which occurs due to the accumulation, growth and combination of defects or cracks of material is called ductile damage. Failure in materials can be predicted, using damage mechanics and damage criteria. On the other hand, most of the materials depended to the manufacturing process, are formed in warm or hot conditions so that; the temperature also affects on the ...

High-temperature surface tension and viscosities for five bulk metallic glass-forming alloys with widely different glass-forming abilities are measured. The measurements are carried out in a high-vacuum electrostatic levitator using the drop oscillation technique. The surface tension follows proportional mathematical addition of pure components’ surface tension except when some of the constitue...

Carbon Nanotube (CNT) based gas sensors have a variety of advantages over conventional gas sensors. They are smaller in size, consume less power, have quicker response times, and have great electronic and thermal properties. In addition, they are easy to functionalize and have amazing mechanical properties that allow them to be modified and targeted for a specific gas molecule. This allows them...

The resistive switching of NiO sandwiched between Pt bottom and top electrodes are formed by thermal oxidation at the temperature from 300°C to 800°C. The ReRAM characteristics are investigated from the view point of practical applications. The stable and uniform formation of NiO films are revealed by XPS analysis and the chemical compositions of NiO are almost independent of oxidation temperat...

In the past few years, an increasing number of in situ-forming systems have been reported in the literature for various biomedical applications, including drug delivery, cell encapsulation, and tissue repair. There are several possible mechanisms that lead to in situ gel formation: solvent exchange, UV-irradiation, ionic cross-linkage, pH change, and temperature modulation. The thermosensitive ...

In a preceding paper, Langer and Mukhopadhyay [Phys. Rev. E 77, 061505 (2008)] studied the diffusive motion of a tagged molecule in an heterogeneous glass-forming liquid at temperatures just above a glass transition. Among other features of this system, we postulated a relation between heterogeneity and stretched-exponential decay of correlations, and we also confirmed that systems of this kind...

Experimental investigation and numerical simulation of the influence of the strain rate in laser forming are presented. To isolate and effectively study the strain rate effects, which are temperature dependent, a ‘‘constant peak temperature’’ method is developed with the aid of numerical modeling and solution. Under the condition of the constant peak temperature, the effects of strain rate on f...
