We present some of the results of an ongoing collaboration to sudy the dynamical properties of galaxy clusters by means of high resolution adiabatic SPH cosmological simulations. Results from our numerical clusters have been tested against analytical models often used in X-ray observations: β model (isothermal and polytropic) and those based on universal dark matter profiles. We find a universa...

Morphological models for polymer crystallization under isothermal and temperature gradient conditions with a particle level set method are proposed. In these models, the particle level set method is used to improve the accuracy in studying crystal interaction. The predicted development of crystallinity during crystallization under quiescent isothermal condition by our model is reanalyzed with t...

A novel anemometer was designed and implemented for simultaneous measurement of velocity and temperature in air flows with a single hot wire probe. The principle of periodically varying the overheat ratio of the wire was selected and applied through a parameterizable electronic chain. The specific methods developed for the calibration procedure and the signal processing are explained. The accur...

An isothermal model on the standard two-dimension nine-velocity lattice (D2Q9) is proposed and analyzed. It originates from the thermal model with energy conservation introduced by N. I. Prasianakis and I. V. Karlin [Phys. Rev. E 76, 016702 (2007)]. The isothermal and the thermal equivalent models are tested through the simulation of the decay of a shear wave and of a temperature wave. Both are...

Villa [1] interpreted 39Ar loss experiments performed with a low-temperature, igneous K-feldspar (gal) as being inconsistent with multi-diffusion domain model (MDD; see [2]). The applicability of the MDD model for gal was dismissed in [1] exclusively on the basis of two features of the experiments: (1) initial steps at lower temperature produced more gas loss than initial steps at higher temper...

This article presents an empirical study of temperature modulation for metal-oxide gas sensors at multiple frequencies ranging from 0.125Hz to 4Hz. Commercial metal-oxide sensors from two manufacturers were exposed to analyte concentrations below their isothermal discrimination threshold over a period of ten days. The results reported in this article indicate that temperature modulation can sig...

A batch biotransformation process running in the presence of microorganisms cells revealing a specified enzyme activity has been considered. The parallel deactivation of enzyme has been taken into account. An analytical solution determining the process course under isothermal conditions and at an optimal temperature profile has been presented. The advantages resulting from the application of th...

The isothermal isotopic exchange reaction of O2 with 16O of chromium(VI) oxide supported on zirconia, alumina, and titania has been investigated with in situ laser Raman spectroscopy. The isotopic exchange reaction is dependent on the support type, the Cr loading, and the reaction temperature. Complete isotopic exchange of chromium(VI) oxide with O2 is difficult to achieve and requires several ...
