The photocatalytic degradation of the commercial reactive Black5 (RB5), Blue19 (RB19), Green19 (RG19), Red120 (RR120), and Yellow81 (RY81) in aqueous solution and sunlight were examined in the presence of Fe2O3 and the mixture Fe2O3/H2O2 as catalysts. The results showed that the photocatalytic degradation followed first-order...

Optical birefringence measurements were used to observe the isothermal relaxation of rubbed polystyrene films on silica substrates below the glass transition temperature. The relaxation dynamics were described by the Kohlrausch–Williams–Watts relaxation function with Arrhenius temperature dependence on relaxation time. The isothermal results were in good agreement with results obtained using a ...

Ground beef (93% lean), inoculated with a 4...

The objective of this research is to determine the thermal inactivation kinetics of Listeria monocytogenes in chicken breast meat under both isothermal and dynamic conditions. A four-strain cocktail of L. monocytogenes was inoculated to chicken breast meat. Isothermal studies were performed by submerging samples under hot water maintained at constant temperatures ranging from 54 to 66 C. The D ...

introduction: canning is the most effective way to food preservation. starch- based foods include the major food materials such as porridges. these foods due to sensitivity to high shear rates used in rotary retorts and thus texture decomposition, usually sterilized in static retorts. broken heating behavior, can headspace and initial temperature have important role on heat transfer rate and th...

The non-isothermal thermogravimetric method (TGA) was applied to a bituminous coal (PT), two types of biomass, chestnut residues (CH) and olive stones (OS), and coalbiomass blends in order to investigate their thermal reactivity under steam. Fuel chars were obtained by pyrolysis in a fixed-bed reactor at a final temperature of 1373 K for 30 min. The gasification tests were carried out by thermo...

in this paper, a non-isothermal two-phase flow in the cathode gas diffusion layer (gdl) of pem fuel cell is modeled. the governing equations including energy, mass and momentum conservation equations are solved by numerical methods. also, the optimal values of the effective parameters such as the electrodes porosity, gas diffusion layer (gdl) thickness and inlet relative humidity are calculated...

The recrystallization textures of a cold-rolled Al-Mn-Fe-Si model alloy with three different microchemistry states after non-isothermal annealing were studied. The microstructure and texture evolution have been characterized by EBSD. It is clearly demonstrated that the actual microchemistry state as determined by the homogenization procedure strongly influence the recrystallized grain size and ...
