Curved channels in the form of bends are encountered in many industrial two-phase flow applications, such as U-bends in air-conditioning and refrigeration evaporators and condensers. For engineering design purposes, the evaluation of the pressure loss in t ...
A reliable pyroMEMS igniter was successfully demonstrated based on shadow-mask evaporation of metal directly onto solid propellant drops. In this way, intimate contact between the fuel and the igniter was guaranteed. No visible degradation of the fuel was ...
Stencil lithography is used here for the fabrication of bismuth nanowires using thermal evaporation. This technique provides good electrical contact resistance by having the nanowire structure and the contact pads deposited at the same time. It has also th ...
The thermal decomposition of three synthetic copper sulfides (chalcocite (Cu2S), chalcopyrite (CuFeS2), and enargite (Cu3AsS4)) and two commercial copper concentrates has been studied on a thermobalance (T = 1173-1773 K) and an imaging furnace (T approxima ...
Evaporation from porous media is a key process in the hydrologic cycles, waste isolation, biological and food processes and other engineering application. Drying rate and patterns in porous media are strongly influenced by transport properties of the mediu ...
Evaporation from porous media involves mass and energy transport including phase change, vapor diffusion, and liquid flow, resulting in complex displacement patterns affecting drying rates. Force balance considering media properties yields characteristic l ...
Evaporative drying of porous media is jointly controlled by external ( atmospheric) conditions and by media internal transport properties. Effects of different atmospheric potential evaporative demand on observed drying rates were studied in a series of la ...
The ion pair of the stereolabile C3-symmetric, i+o proton complex [1⋅H]+ of diaza-macropentacycle 1 and the configurationally stable Δ-TRISPHAT ([Δ-3]−) anion exists in the form of two diastereomers, namely, [Δ-(1⋅H)][Δ-3] and [Λ-(1⋅H)][Δ-3], the ratio of ...
The thermally induced hysteretic spin transition (ST) that occurs in the polymeric chain compound Fe(NH(2)trz)(3)(2) (1) above room temperature (T-c(sic) = 347 K, T-c(sic) = 314 K) has been tracked by Fe-57 Mossbauer spectroscopy, SQUID magnetometry ...
