Fine-grain thin superconducting films can be prepared by metalorganic Chemical Aerosol Deposition Technology (CADT). In this paper, we present the preparation and properties of YBa2Cu307_ x films on the different substrates, Si and SrTiO 3 (100). It is shown that the zero-resistance temperature (Tc,0) of the films on SrTiO 3 substrates is about 90 K, and the critical current density (Jc) at 77 ...

drying properties of high moisture potato slices with initial moisture content of about 4.06 (db) under thin layer fixed, semi fluidized and fluidized bed conditions were studied. drying air temperatures of 40, 50, 60 and 70°c were applied in experiments using a laboratory fluidized bed convective dryer. in order to predict the drying behavior of potato slices, seven thin layer drying models we...

Some aspects of RF remote plasma enhanced CVD including the main features of the technique, possibilities of overcoming disadvantages typical for conventional plasma processes, and possible directions to improve the remote plasma method are discussed.

Silver containing nanocomposites receive increasing attention as antibacterial coatings. In this study we report on production of such materials using combination of gas aggregation sources of Ag nanoparticles and plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition performed in HMDSO/O2 working gas mixtures. The main attention is devoted to the investigation of solubility of Ag nanoparticles in water in...

The control of fluidized-bed operations processes is still one of the major areas of research due to the complexity of the process and the inherent nonlinearity and varying dynamics involved in its operation. There are varieties of problems in chemical engineering that can be formulated as NonLinear Programming (NLPs). The quality of the developed solution significantly affects the performa...
