The heat treatment and sintering processes are dependent on time, temperature, and atmosphere. Precisely monitoring and controlling each of these parameters can result in higher productivity and improved part quality. The LINEMOD supervisory control and monitoring software addresses these issues by estimating the thermal and physical conditions inside a furnace using mathematical models. ASM He...

Continuous ultrasonic in-situ monitoring for industrial applications is difficult owing to the high operating temperatures in industrial fields. It is expected that ultrasonic transducers consisting of a CaBi₄Ti₄O15(CBT)/Pb(Zr,Ti)O₃(PZT) sol-gel composite could be one solution for ultrasonic nondestructive testing (NDT) above 500 °C because no couplant is required and CBT has a high Curie tempe...

Rubidium metaborate, Rb3B3O6, was obtained by the reaction of Rb2CO3 and BN using a radiofrequency furnace at a maximum reaction temperature of 1173 K. The crystal structure has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The space group is R3c, with all atoms positioned on a twofold axis (Wyckoff site 18e). The ionic compound is isotypic with Na3B3O6, K3B3O6 and Cs3B3O6.

Now-a-days it has become quite common to use modern electric heating devices in the place of conventional ones. A stud was conducted to standardize the temperature for the preparation of Pravala Bhasma by using Electric Muffle furnace (EMF) The details are presented in this article.

In this paper we compare different evolutionary algorithm approaches and parameters used to optimize the output of neural network committee trained on regression problems. This is especially useful for large and complex datasets. We used the methodology presented in this paper to optimize the output of the committee to predict the temperature in the electric arc furnace in one of the steelworks.

Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) is one of the most important methods for producing Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs). In this research, a numerical model, based on finite volume method, is investigated. The applied method solves the conservation of mass, momentum, energy and species transport equations with aid of ideal gas law. Using this model, the growth rate and thickness uniformity of produced CNTs,...

Each tooth was then placed upon the reticulated zirconia in the thermal containment box and the technique of Microwave Hybrid Heating (MHH) was applied. The temperature measurements were taken every two minutes. We attempted to sinter the teeth in the microwave furnace with both fast and gradual heating rate (per minute) by manipulating the power rate. The power was increased gradually for few ...

We have built a micro-optical spectroscopy system coupled with a Nd:YLF laser heating system for performing high pressure–temperature in situ Raman measurements in diamond anvil cells (DAC). A variety of materials can be investigated, providing information about structural and dynamical properties of condensed matter under extreme conditions. We report on a method for laser heating transparent ...
