The main objective of this study was to investigate the rheology of mixed primary and secondary sludge and its dependency on solid content and temperature. Results of this study showed that the temperature and solid concentration are critical parameters affecting the mixed sludge rheology. It was found that the yield stress increases with an increase in the sludge solid content and decreases wi...

Abstraction of hydrogen atoms by pthalimide-N-oxyl radicals is an important step in the N-hydroxyphthalimide catalyzed autoxidation of hydrocarbons. In this contribution, the temperature dependency of this reaction is evaluated by a detailed transition state theory based kinetic analysis for the case of toluene. Tunneling was found to play a very important role, enhancing the rate constant by a...

Experimental data for density, viscosity, refractive index and surface tension are reported, for the first time, in the temperature range between 288.15 K and 353.15 K and at atmospheric pressure for two protic ionic liquids, namely 2-(dimethylamino)-N,N-dimethylethan-1-ammonium acetate, [N11{2(N11)}H][CH3CO2], and N-ethyl-N,N-dimethylammonium phenylacetate, [N112H][C7H7CO2]. The effect of the ...

This paper focuses on using high temperature operating capability of SiC power devices, which are packaged in power modules. A SiC Schottky barrier diode is mounted on an active metal brazed Si3N4 substrate as a heat resistive power module. The temperature dependency of electrical characteristics of the SiC device and thermal dynamics of the power module are modeled for numerical electro therma...

Losses during the operation of electrical machines heat up permanent magnets which in turn changes their demagnetization behavior. An elevation magnet’s temperature usually correlates to a decreasing remanence and coercivity. The relation between them may become nonlinear. Existing material models either lack accuracy or are parameterized with high number variables. This paper presents novel se...
