Transient behaviour of electrovortex flow in a cylindrical container

The mechanical behaviour of the oxide film that develops at metal-air interface molten A356 aluminum alloy is investigated in relation to oxidation level. Based on two previous papers - first one focusing chemical aspects process liquid surface aluminum, second its characterization, present paper aims reconciling these approaches usually considered separately literature and proposes a stand-alone mechano-chemical model. characterized from thermogravimetric analyses together with scanning electron microscopy imaging. Then properties layer are determined given level, making use new annular MHD viscometer placed inside reactor. kinetic study delivers better understanding involved leads development revised version Deal?Grove In addition, reveals highly viscous shear-thinning behaviours layer.
