Laser forming is a thermal forming process which uses laser beam irradiation to produce the desired final forms. In this article, the effect of temperature gradient across  Al 6061-T6 aluminum sheets on bending angle is studied. Input parameters including laser power, scan velocity, beam diameter, and sheet thickness are the effective process parameters which influence the temperature gradient....

in this study, the effect of nano-silver (ag) treatment on the drying rate and final moisture gradient of poplar wood was investigated. poplar (populous nigra) boards with green dimensions of 100×70×50 and 20 mm were treated with nano-silver (ag) suspension by spraying and immersion method. two concentrations of nano-silver suspension, including 20 and 100 ppm were used. then, the boards were c...

thermo-elasto-plastic analyses of thick-walled spherical tanks made of functionally graded materials are investigated analytically. these tanks are subjected to positive or negative temperature gradient and internal pressure loadings separately or simultaneously. the power law modeling has been used for through-the-thickness variation of mechanical properties. von mises yield criterion and elas...

results the results showed that nl1-gc/ls2 primer set could yield species-specific amplicons, which were well distinguished and allowed better species discrimination than that generated by the its3-gc/its4 primer set, in both dgge and ttge profiles. all five candida species were discriminated by dgge and ttge using the nl1-gc/ls2 primer set. conclusions comparison of dgge and ttge profiles obta...

a small salt gradient solar pond with an average surface area of 1.8 m2 and depth of 0.8m has been tested. the depths of storage, gradient and surface zones are 0.3, 0.27 and 0.07m, respectively. the temperature of the storage zone for the summer days reaches its maximum of 65˚ c after about 8 days. daily variation of the storage zone temperature was about 8˚c which is due to small volume of th...

The motion of temperature dependent viscosity and thermal conductivity of steady incompressible laminar free convective (MHD) non-Newtonian Casson fluid flow over an exponentially stretching surface embedded in a thermally stratified medium are investigated. It is assumed that natural convection is induced by buoyancy and exponentially decaying internal heat generation across the space. The dim...

background and objectives: making stacking gels for polyacrylamide gels in the laboratory by conventional methods is laborious and time consuming. considering the role of temperature in polyacrylamide gels with respect to electrical resistance and viscosity, we assumed that decreasing the temperature would cause an increase in electrical resistance and viscosity.  ultimately, a downward tempera...

This work uses the dual-phase-lag (DPL) model of heat conduction to demonstrate the effect of temperature gradient relaxation time on the result of non-Fourier hyperbolic conduction in a finite slab subjected to a periodic thermal disturbance. DPL model combines the wave features of hyperbolic conduction with a diffusion-like feature of the evidence not captured by the hyperbolic case. For the ...
