This paper presents results for the minimization of fuel consumption in a batch furnace. Several different criteria are used and minimized with respect to time- dependent process and control variables. As would be expected, the results show that globally t ...
Chloroethenes such as tetrachloroethene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE) are among the most prevalent contaminants in groundwater. Because of their low aqueous solubility, PCE and TCE are often present as dense non aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) that can act ...
Aluminum is produced by the electrolytic reduction of alumina dissolved in molten cryolite. This process requires carbon anodes which are consumed during the electrolysis. The anodes contribute roughly with 15% to the total aluminum production cost. If the ...
Although heat pump based district heating is often an obvious solution from an energy standpoint, adapting the delivery temperature to the most exigent users is detrimental to overall system performance. This pitfall can be avoided with a centralized plant ...
Thin silicon dioxide films nitrided in N2O by rapid thermal processing (RTP) or in a classical furnace were investigated by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, secondary ion mass spectroscopy, and electrical measurements on metal-oxide-semiconductor capacito ...

In a previous article,[1] a theoretical analysis was developed to describe the infiltration of fiber preforms by a binary alloy, and its solution was given for unidirectional adiabatic infiltration under constant applied pressure. This article further deve ...
