The deformation behavior of homogenized Al-7.5Zn-1.5Mg-0.2Cu-0.2Zr alloy has been studied by a set of isothermal hot compression tests, which were carried out over the temperature ranging from 350 °C to 450 °C and the strain rate ranging from 0.001 s-1 to 10 s-1 on Gleeble-3500 thermal simulation machine. The associated microstructure was studied using electron back scattered diffraction (EBSD)...

A multidimensional model is introduced for the dynamic combustion of compressible, radiative and reactive gases. In the macroscopic description adopted here, the radiation is treated as a continuous field, taking into account both the wave (classical) and photonic (quantum) aspects associated with the gas [20, 36]. The model is formulated by the Navier-Stokes equations in Euler coordinates, whi...

Based on a coherent state representation of noise operator and an ensemble averaging procedure using Wigner canonical thermal distribution for harmonic oscillators, a generalized quantum Langevin equation has been recently developed [Phys. Rev. E 65, 021109 (2002); 66, 051106 (2002)] to derive the equations of motion for probability distribution functions in c-number phase-space. We extend the ...

Weak pi hydrogen-bonded solute/solvent complexes are studied with ultrafast two-dimensional infrared (2D-IR) vibrational echo chemical exchange spectroscopy, temperature-dependent IR absorption spectroscopy, and density functional theory calculations. Eight solute/solvent complexes composed of a number of phenol derivatives and various benzene derivatives are investigated. The complexes are for...

Semi-structural bonded joints of steel components are exposed to long-term stresses in addition water diffusion, temperature changes and varying external forces during operation. These hygro-thermomechanical loadings lead successive degradation stiffness strength due damage resulting from chemical aging fatigue processes, causing failure the joint when its service life is reached. In following ...

In the present work, a synthetic effluent of phenol was treated by means of a total oxidation process—Catalyzed Wet Oxidation (CWO). A mixed oxide of Mn-Ce (7:3), the catalyst, was synthesized by co-precipitation from an aqueous solution of MnCl2 and CeCl3 in a basic medium. The mixed oxide, MnO2/CeO2, was characterized and used in the oxidation of phenol in a slurry reactor in the temperature ...

Introduction: Many kinetic studies have shown that sorption of metals on natural materials results in the formation of metal precipitates. However, the influence of temperature on the kinetic formation of these metal precipitates has not been studied. The effect of temperature on reaction rates is well known and important in understanding reaction mechanisms. For most reactions, the increase in...

The sensitivities of metallophthalocyanine (MPcs: M = Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, and H(2)) chemiresistors to vapor phase electron donors were examined using 50 nm MPc films deposited on interdigitated electrodes. Sensor responses were measured as changes in current at constant voltage. Analytes were chosen to span a broad range of Lewis base and hydrogen bond base strengths. The MPc sensor responses were ...

We investigate the escape behavior of systems governed by the one-dimensional nonlinear diffusion equation theta(t)rho=theta(x)[theta(x)Urho]+Dtheta(x)2rho(nu), where the potential of the drift, U(x), presents a double well and D,nu are real parameters. For systems close to the steady state, we obtain an analytical expression of the mean first-passage time, yielding a generalization of Arrheniu...

The flow stress and dynamic recrystallization behavior of A356 aluminum alloy was studied, with a strain rate ranging from 0.001 s?1 to 1 temperature 300 500 °C. Both the true stress–strain curves microstructure examination indicated that occurred during isothermal compression. A physical model based on Arrhenius equation developed, this can accurately predict fraction Finally, implemented in F...
