THERMIC PROCESSES IN VULCANISATION MOULDS

Moulds in food spoilage.

There is an increasing knowledge and understanding of the role played by moulds in food spoilage. Especially the discovery of mycotoxin production in foods has highlighted the importance of moulds in food quality. It is, however, only within the last 5-10 years that major progresses have been made towards the prevention of spoilage caused by moulds. This is due to recent international agreement...

The Thermic Effect of Death

The thermic effect of death as observed on yeast is about 2 gm. calories per gram of dry substance and is therefore very small as compared with the heat produced in most of the exotherm chemical reactions. As the chemical compounds composing living matter have a very great molecular weight, the decomposition of their molecule which brings about death produces more heat than the decomposition of...

The anticyclic operad of moulds

A new anticyclic operad Mould is introduced, on spaces of functions in several variables. It is proved that the Dendriform operad is an anticyclic suboperad of this operad. Many operations on the free Mould algebra on one generator are introduced and studied. Under some restrictions, a forgetful map from moulds to formal vector fields is then defined. A connection to the theory of tilting modul...

Solidification in Copper Continuously Cast in Graphite Moulds

A mathematical model of heat transfer in continuous casting copper slabs capable of producing experimental data has been constructed and validated against experimental data provided by the management of Copper Refineries Ltd., Townsville plant in Australia. It has been used to predict the effects of major casting variables; metal temperature, casting speed and metal conductivity. The results ca...
