In this study, time of calcium phosphate formation on Ti6Al4V alloy with or without alkali and heat treatments was investigated. Specimens were soaked in 0, 5, 10 M solutions of NaOH at temperatures of 60 or 80 °C for 24, 72 h. Their surfaces were characterized using scanning electron microscopy and thin film X-ray diffraction. It was found that optimum condition is 72h soaking in 5 M NaOH in 8...

we study connected orientable spacelike hypersurfaces $x:m^{n}rightarrowm_q^{n+1}(c)$, isometrically immersed into the riemannian or lorentzian space form of curvature $c=-1,0,1$, and index $q=0,1$, satisfying the condition $~l_kx=ax+b$,~ where $l_k$ is the $textit{linearized operator}$ of the $(k+1)$-th mean curvature $h_{k+1}$ of the hypersurface for a fixed integer $0leq k

The effect of the volume flow rate of the heat transfer fluid (air) on the thermal parameters of the solar air collector with a single air pass without using fins under the absorbing plate have been investigated experimentally and theoretically. We use a new design of solar air collector which aims to optimize these parameters in the region cited above. Our solar air collector was realized at t...

pavement materials have great impact on heat island control under the urban canyon layer. understanding the properties of pavement materials can help to reduce the heat island effect. introducing the main properties of pavement surfaces affecting sol-air temperature and mean radiant temperature - such as albedo, permeability, conductivity, thickness, emissivity, irradiation and convective air f...
