Taking the axial heat conduction of wax deposition layer into account, a two-dimensional heat transfer model of calculating the temperature profile inside wax deposition layer was deduced and established based on the energy balance equation, the finite difference method was used to solve this model, and the influence of axial heat conduction on the distribution law of temperature profile inside...

Three spectrometers and associated experiments are described. The work reviewed comprises the early experimental phases of a program to develop a satellite infrared spectrometer capable of making radiometric measurements in the 15-micron carbon dioxide band needed for deduction of atmospheric temperature profiles. Initially, a simplified, breadboard spectrometer with four spectral channels was ...

In the gas drilling design, accurate prediction of wellbore temperature profile is very crucial. Different from liquid fluid, physical and thermophysical parameters gases are sensitive to change pressure temperature, at same time, these will react against pressure. Based on energy conservation principle, a temperature-pressure coupling calculation model was established predict during process. T...

The relationship between impact damage and the fatigue behavior of � -TiAl has been examined. Axial fatigue specimens fabricated from cast Ti-47.9Al-2.0Cr-1.9Nb (to be referred to as 48-2-2) and Ti-47.3Al-2.2Nb-0.5Mn-0.4W-0.4Mo-0.23Si (to be referred to as WMS) alloys were damaged by impact under controlled conditions with a 60 deg wedge-shaped indenter to simulate assembly-related damage in lo...

This paper investigates the effect of loading level and loading rate on the damage development and strength on the asphalt mixtures tested at three low temperatures. The current AASHTO specification for asphalt mixture low-temperature characterization consists of two tests: the indirect tensile creep (ITC) test and the indirect tensile strength (ITS). In the ITC, the load was applied until the ...

The mixing characteristics of coolant air jets with the hot gas exiting the gas turbine combustor’s primary zone is of major importance to the combustor exit temperature profile. In the present work, a three dimensional numerical simulation on the basis of the finite volume method was developed. The aim was to investigate the penetration and mixing characteristics of directly opposed rows of co...

For commercial production of wheat and barley, grain yield (GY), grain protein concentration (GPC) and protein composition are considered important. Genetic (G) and environmental (E) factors are important constraints affecting GPC and protein composition in wheat and barley. This thesis examined the options to govern GPC and protein composition in wheat and barley grain by using G and E factors...

The ability of ectotherms to respond to changes in their thermal environment through plastic mechanisms is central to their adaptive capability. However, we still lack knowledge on the physiological and functional responses by which ectotherms acclimate to temperatures during development, and in particular, how physiological stress at extreme temperatures may counteract beneficial acclimation r...

introduction application of near-infrared absorbing nanostructures can induce hyperthermia, in addition to providing more efficient  photothermal effects. gold-gold sulfide (ggs) is considered as one of these nanostructures. this study was performed on a tissue-equivalent optical-thermal phantom to determine the temperature profile in the presence and absence of ggs and millisecond pulses of a ...

A probing technique to obtain the energy distribution of positive charges in high-k gate stack dielectrics, both within and beyond the substrate bandgap, has been proposed. The energy distribution of different high-k devices has been investigated and attention has been paid to their differences from the single-layered SiON devices. The results obtained from the technique demonstrate the existen...
