Kurzfassung. Die Synthetic Aperture Focusing Technique (SAFT) ist ein Verfahren zur Verarbeitung von HF-Bildern, die an unterschiedlichen Prüfkopfpositionen aufgenommen wurden. Es wird in der zerstörungsfreien Werkstoffprüfung genutzt, um eine Abbildung von Materialfehlern innerhalb des Gebietes zu erstellen, auf das die Rekonstruktion angewandt wird. Die nach Abschluss der SAFT-Rekonstruktion ...

The phase behavior of perfluoro-(n)-alkane + (n)-alkane binary mixtures is of particular interest given their unexpected large positive deviations from Raoult’s law. Binary mixtures of perfluoromethane + (n)-alkanes from methane to heptane are studied here, illustrating the continuous change in phase behavior from type II to type III that these systems exhibit. Some symmetrical systems that dis...

Synthetic aperture focusing technique (SAFT) has been used in non-destructive testing mainly in its simplest form that mimics acoustic lenses used for focusing ultrasonic beams at a point of a solid object or structure. This paper presents a review of SAFT algorithms applied for post-processing of ultrasonic data acquired in non-destructive inspection of metals. The performance of SAFT in terms...

Water is the most important, but at same time anomalous substance on earth. Due to its anomalies it a challenge even for advanced equations of state like PC-SAFT, CPA and SAFT-VR Mie predict water’s properties. It believed by some researchers that properties are result structural fluctuations. The recently developed DAPT model consistent with this idea actually able considerable amount anomalie...

The water solubility in fatty acid esters and biodiesels and the vapor–liquid equilibria (VLE) of fatty acid ester + methanol/ethanol systems, formed at biodiesel production and purification industrial units, were modeled in this work to complete the development and application of the soft-SAFT equation of state (EoS) to the design and optimization of biodiesel production plants. The soft-SAFT ...

Experience from the ultrasonic inspection of nuclear power plants has shown that large focused transducers are relatively effective in suppressing material structure noise. Operation of a large focused transducer can be thought of as integration (coherent summation) of individual beams reflected from the flaw and received by individual points at the transducer surface. Synthetic aperture focusi...

The Special Affine Fourier Transform or the SAFT generalizes a number of well known unitary transformations as well as signal processing and optics related mathematical operations. Unlike the Fourier transform, the SAFT does not work well with the standard convolution operation. Recently, Q. Xiang and K. Y. Qin introduced a new convolution operation that is more suitable for the SAFT and by whi...

In this work we extend the crossover (CR) modification of the statistical-associating-fluid-theory (SAFT) equation of state (EOS), recently developed and applied for non-associating systems [Ind. Eng. Chem. Res. 38 (1999) 4993] to associating fluids. Unlike the previous crossover EOS that was based on the parametric linear model for the universal crossover function Y, the new CR SAFT EOS is bas...
