the premixed counterflow flames propagation in combustion of mixture which is a uniform mixture of fuel particles and air is analytically studied. this analysis framework is based on thermal-diffusion model with assumption that the lewis number is unit and the strain rate is constant. velocity profile is assumed as a function of one variable like x. the structure of the flame is presumed to con...

A protective oxide film is the key to corrosion resistance of FeCrAl alloy. The mechanism formation multilayer alloy in 700 °C air was explored by studying structure evolution and oxidation kinetics FeCrAl. results show that a layer formed on surface after 1344 h, with (Fe,Cr)2O3 layer, an Al-rich Al-depleted zone, new sequentially arranged from matrix. This indicates Al element plays important...

The primary objective of this study was to examine the relationship of the "fat burning" and aerobic zones. Subjects consisted of 36 relatively fit runners (20 male, 16 female) who completed a maximal exercise test to exhaustion on a motor-driven treadmill. The lower and upper limit of the "fat burning" zone was visually assessed by examining each individual graph. Maximal fat oxidation (MFO) w...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to develop a test protocol to determine the exercise intensity at which fat oxidation rate is maximal (Fat(max)). METHOD Eighteen moderately trained cyclists performed a graded exercise test to exhaustion, with 5-min stages and 35-W increments (GE(35/5)). In addition, four to six continuous prolonged exercise tests (CE) at constant work rates, corresponding t...

In this study, the effects of Ce (270 ppm) and La (120 ppm) mischmetal additions on the transient oxidation of an Fe-22Cr alloy were investigated. The oxidation process was imaged in situ using a confocal scanning laser microscope. The oxidation microstructures were studied by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis, and transmission electron microscopy with the help of f...

The microzonation of O(2) respiration, H(2)S oxidation, and SO(4) reduction in aerobic trickling-filter biofilms was studied by measuring concentration profiles at high spatial resolution (25 to 100 mum) with microsensors for O(2), S, and pH. Specific reaction rates were calculated from measured concentration profiles by using a simple one-dimensional diffusion reaction model. The importance of...

In this study, aluminide coating was employed to enhance the high-temperature cyclic oxidation of Rene-80 superalloy at 950ºC. The microstructural aspects and phase constituents of samples were  investigated with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and x-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. The result of oxidation tests showed that the weight gain in the uncoated sample was considerably higher than...
