The substitution of CFC refrigerants in refrigeration systems, heat pumps and organic Rankine cycles for heat recovery, requires good methods for predicting heat transfer of substitute fluids. The measurements in the LENI test facility (concentric tubes wi ...
A ferroelectric crystal tends to form domains. Internal and external fields can cause domain walls to move, resulting in macroscopic phenomena such as aging, creep and fatigue. Domain evolution is a nonequilibrium thermodynamic process. The domain pattern, ...
The purpose of the present work is to study the relation between the microstructure and the martensitic transformation in a binary NiTi alloy. Moreover, it has been conducted on wires which diameters are between 1.52mm and 50µm in order to demonstrate the ...
The formation of H-aggregates as a function of solution, substrate and ambient variables is considered for the merocyanine dye 3-acetyl-5-12-(3-ethyl-2-benzothiazolydene) rhodanine. Colloidal semiconductor particles are shown to be a powerful tool to contr ...
This paper discusses the construction of a dynamic energy balance equation using boundary conditions conventionally defined for a thermodynamic system. With routine modifications, the equation can be applied to a wide variety of engineering systems. The eq ...
The CamClay model has been extensively used in numerous research programmes for constitutive modelling in Soil Mechanics during the past quarter of a century. Several derivations of this model are now available and routinely used for numerical simulations ...
A new Thermodynamic Approach for modelling mixtures of refrigerants and lubricating oils is presented. The model includes generalized methods for predicting the following thermodynamic properties of refrigerant-oil mixtures: bubble point temperatures, loca ...
The substitution of old refrigerants in refrigeration systems, heat pumps and organic Rankine cycles for heat recovery, request a good knowledge of heat transfer properties of substitute fluids. The test measurmements in LENI test facility (concentric tube ...
Two-dimensional (2D) exchange NMR is a powerful tool for measuring the dynamics and energetics of adsorbed xenon atoms undergoing slow exchange between the alpha-cages of Na-A zeolite. In this proceedings, we present recently published results, as well as ...
