a series of tialon coatings were synthesized in a gaseous mixture of argon, nitrogen and oxygen by cathodic arc evaporation method using a ti–al mosaic target. oxidation of coatings was carried out by heating the coated samples at the temperatures of 500, 600, 700, and 800°c for 1 h in air atmosphere. it was found that heat treatment changed the microstructure and composition of the coating. th...

reaction constants and heat release during thermophilic aerobic digestion of typical secondary and mixed sludges were determined. maximum reaction constant, determined by measuring the amounts of biodegradable volatile suspended solids (bvss) removed, occurred in the temperature range of 55-60 ºc. measurement of heat releases were carried out, at the same range, by the aid of a temperature prog...

In order to maintain the cryogenic environment of wind tunnel in service, heat transfer insulation structure is investigated this work. Firstly, design and material selection conducted. Afterwards, theoretical calculation on carried out based 1-D conduction model. Subsequently, finite element model established, basis, involving actual work condition tunnel, numerically calculated. Finally, test...

Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) are candidates for non-baryonic Dark Matter. WIMPs are supposed to interact with baryonic matter via scattering off nuclei producing a nuclear recoil with energies up to a few 10 keV with a very low interaction rate of ∼10−6 events per kg of target material and day in the energy region of interest. The Dark Matter experiment CRESST (Cryogenic Rare Ev...

The high speed steel is used as a cutting tool, since it has good quality and reliability at cheaper rate when compared to other cutting tools. So it is very important to increase the ability of the tool further for its reliability. So the best way is to increase the hardness. We have brainstormed to find out alternate tool materials. One novel method namely dipping the ordinary tool bit in a c...

Abstract. Seeds or plant organs are usually used as the materials for the long-term cryopreservation. The aim of this study is to investigate the possibility of seed cryopreservation of Lilium ledebourii (Baker) Boiss. as an endemic and endangered species because of genetic erosion. To evaluate seed potentials for the cryopreservation, four treatments including vitrification, 30% glycerol, desi...
