The first unambiguous measurements of a bounce-resonance effect in a non-neutral plasma are presented. Two striking signatures are observed when a magnetized electron column is heated by oscillating an end sheath. First, the heating rate increases by a factor of 104 as the oscillation frequency is increased by a factor of 10 near the thermal electron bounce frequency. Second, the heating is enh...

Abstract The flow behavior of a novel Cr-Si alloyed hot stamping steel (Cr-Si steel) at elevated temperature was investigated via isothermal compression tests on Gleeble-3500 thermomechanical simulator with range 600 ~ 900 ℃ and strain rate 0.1~10 s-1. Subsequently, the Arrhenius-type constitutive model, comprising compensation, established in accordance friction adiabatic heating corrected str...

Iron-rich glass-ceramics were obtained by the sintering of two glass powders, labeled G1 and G2, at heating rates of 5° and 20°C/min followed by an isothermal step in the 850°–1050°C temperature interval. The sintering process was evaluated by the linear shrinkage; the closed porosity was estimated by density measurements; the structure and the morphology of the glass ceramics were observed by ...

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) / starch (S) /Carboxy methyl cellulose (CMC) / Montmorillonite (MMT) bionanocomposite films were prepared from PVA, MMT, CMC and soluble starch aqueous suspensions by casting method in the presence of a plasticizer that contained glycerol. The kinetics of thermal degradation of PVA/S/CMC/MMT blends was investigated by thermogravimetry (TGA) and derivative thermogravimetr...

This paper concerns non-isothermal flow in a thermoset resin-injection pultrusion process. Supported by temperature measurements from an industrial line and material characterisation study (curing kinetics, chemorheology, permeability), the was analysed for manufacture of thick glass-fibre profile saturated with pultrusion-specific polyurethane resin. A central finding is that heating configura...

This paper introduces a disposable battery-driven heating system for loop-mediated isothermal DNA amplification (LAMP) inside a centrifugally-driven DNA purification platform (LabTube). We demonstrate LabTube-based fully automated DNA purification of as low as 100 cell-equivalents of verotoxin-producing Escherichia coli (VTEC) in water, milk and apple juice in a laboratory centrifuge, followed ...

The thermal reactivity and kinetics of five coal chars, a biomass char, and two coal/biomass char blends in an oxy-fuel combustion atmosphere (30%O2-70%CO2) were studied using the non-isothermal thermogravimetric method at three heating rates. Fuel chars were obtained by devolatilization in an entrained flow reactor at 1273 K under N2 and CO2 atmospheres.Three nth-order representative gas-solid...

Three C21-based reactive polyamides were synthesized from tung oil and different polyamines. The thermal and mechanical properties of cured products of the C21-based polyamides and diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) were investigated. It was found that the cured materials were superior to those cured by C36-based polyamides in tensile strength and flexural strength and had a better flexura...

The present framework reports the structural, fundamental parameters, and crystallization kinetics of melt-quenched As30Te64Ga6 chalcogenide glass. energy dispersive X-ray analysis glassy system reveals that constituent element ratio investigated bulk sample agrees with nominal composition. Also, diffraction (XRD) Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) were used to characterize structural prop...

in this article, failure and fracture mechanisms in an aluminum alloy (which has been used in diesel internal combustion engines), with and without ceramic thermal barrier coatings, have been investigated under isothermal and non-isothermal fatigue loadings. in this research, the base material is an aluminum-silicon-magnesium alloy and the thermal barrier coating includes a metallic bond coat l...
