Peer-reviewed academic journals and special issues are no easy match to make. Special occasions beget issues, such occasions often fleeting moments compared the lengthy process of peer-review. By time (and if) articles worthy publishing submitted, evaluated, revised, edited, finally approved, history may have moved on. As is cited, U.S. scholarturned-statesman Henry Kissinger once suggested ...

      In this work, thermal degradation behavior of a fuel-rich energetic mixture containing epoxy binder was studied by thrmogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry under dynamic nitrogen atmosphere at different heating rates. Variation of the thermal degradation activation energy of the mixture was evaluated by differential and integral isoconversional methods via ...

Crystallization of α – Fe phase during annealing process of Fe55Cr18Mo7B16C4 bulk amorphous alloy has been evaluated by X- ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetric tests and TEM observations in this research. In effect, crystallization mechanism and activation energy of crystallization were evaluated using DSC tests in four different heating rates (10, 20, 30, 40 K/min). A two -st...

diffusivity equation commonly used for pressure distribution prediction in porous media results from substituting equation of state and continuity equation in navier-stokes momentum equation. from mathematical point of view this equation format shows infinite propagation speed for pressure pulse through porous media, which is physically impossible. this issue may caused by numerous assumptions ...

In the present work thermogravimetric techniques were used to study thermal degradation of high-density cork granules. Pyrolysis experiments carried out for four heating ramps (10, 15, 20 and 25 °C.min?1), using nitrogen as carrier gas. From differential (DTG) curves it was seen that mainly occurs from 220 °C 525 main components (suberin, lignin, cellulose, hemicellulose). It also observed temp...
