A one-dimensional material response implicit solver with surface ablation and pyrolysis is implicitly coupled to LeMANS, a CFD code for the simulation of weakly ionized hypersonic flows in thermo-chemical non-equilibrium. Following verification and validation of the blowing wall boundary conditions and ablation coupling, the implementation of a moving mesh algorithm in the flow solver is propos...

Many applications of nanotubes and nanowires require controlled bottom-up engineering of these nanostructures. In catalytic chemical vapor deposition, the thermo-kinetic state of the nanocatalysts near the melting point is one of the factors ruling the morphology of the grown structures. We present theoretical and experimental evidence of a viscous state for nanoparticles near their melting poi...

We have developed a novel cost-effective procedure, namely 'chemical nanoprinting', for oligonucleotide or cDNA chips manufacture. In this thermo-controlled process, the oligonucleotides, covalently attached to a highly loaded 'master-chip' through disulfide bonds, are chemically transferred to the acrylamide layer mounted on a 'print-chip'. It is demonstrated here that multiple identical print...

In this work, a combined experimental and theoretical study on molecular structure and vibrational frequencies of (E)-3-(dicyclopropyl methylene)-dihydro-4-[1-(2,5 dimethylfuran-3-yl) ethylidene] furan-2,5-dione [DCPF] were reported. The FT-IR spectra of DCPF isomers are recorded in the solid phase. The equilibrium geometries, harmonic vibrational frequencies, thermo-chemical parameters, total ...

The hot neutron star (NS) is investigated for the …rst time in the generalized thermo-statistics so as to take into account the breaking of the standard BoltzmannGibbs thermo-statistics under the long-ranged gravitational potential. It is found that at sub-saturation density in hot NS matter the gravitation leads to a sti¤er equation of state than the standard thermo-statistics. The hot NSs in ...

Scientific numeric databases are important research tools for materials scientists. In distinction to bibliographic databases, these numeric databases are useful primarily to provide direct, immediate access to data, often evaluated data. Examples showing the application of crystallographic databases are given, including determining candidate materials for certain applications. Thermo-chemical ...

The studies include the results and discussion related with reaction of Fe2O3 with Na2SO4 in presence of SO2 (g) at 800 and 900 C. The iron oxides are produced by the oxidation of iron base alloys in many industrial operations. The metal oxide undergoes certain high temperature chemical reactions in presence of a gas (such as SO2) and molten salts (say Na2SO4). The thermo-gravimetric studies h...

Using the general theory developed by the author in the previous paper, the problems of thermophoresis and diffusio-phoresis have been examined with a view to elucidating the effect of a general gas-surface scattering law on the associated forces. It is found that, in thermo-phoresis, there exists a close coupling between the first anisotropic moment of the gas-surface scattering law and the so...

A model for the simulation of gas flow in clayey rocks and clays is described. Gas migration is associated with the development of preferential paths along existing or pressure-dependent discontinuities. The model handles the combined phenomena of two-phase (air and liquid) flow and the generation of discrete paths. Aperture of discrete paths is the main variable to account for permeability and...
