cross linking of high density polyethylene (hdpe) was first performed via high energy10 mev electron beam (eb) irradiation. hdpe was also cross linked withdicumyle peroxide (dcp).the gel content of samples was determined by solvent extraction.degree of cross linking was evaluated by hot set apparatus; as well .in order to clarify the effectof nature of cross linking, correlation of electrical p...

a total of 300 one-day old male broilers (cobb 500) were randomly divided into four treatment groups. the groups comprised of 15 birds each, and were defined by diet and the birds in each group were fed 0 (control), 3, 5, or 7 kgy electron-beam irradiated diets. a total of 5 replicates were performed. the chemical composition of the diet was not affected by irradiation.irradiation doses of 5 an...

The microstructures of the thermally grown oxide (TGO) in as-coated electron beam physical vapor deposited (EB-PVD) thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) were examined by scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) as a function of demonstrated TBC lifetime in a thermally cycled environment. As-coated TBC specimens were selected for analysis based on individual statistical significance in overal...

This study examines the evaporation of Al from a molten commercial Ti alloy with different concentrations after partial melting in small electron beam furnace. Electron probe micro analysis confirmed that concentration region was uniform. The movement not found to be rate determining step. consistently decreased an increasing time but non-linear manner. activity calculated using thermodynamic d...

the monte carlo method can be used to describe any technique that approximates solutions to quantitative problems through statistical sampling. this method is considered to be the most accurate method for dose calculation in radiotherapy. for complete modeling of a linear accelerator, it is required that the manufactured information covers all data, but some data such as primary electron energy...

Introduction: Treatment with megavoltage electron beams is ideal for irradiating superficial tumors because of their limited range in tissues. However, for electron treatment of extended areas, such as the chest wall, two or more adjacent fields can be used. Abutment of these fields may lead to significant dose in homogeneities in the junction region. The aim of this study is to offer a new met...

background: one of the main problems of dedicated iort accelerators is to determine dosimetric characteristics of the electron beams. monte carlo simulation of iort accelerator head and produced beam will be useful to improve the accuracy of beam dosimetry. materials and methods: liac accelerator head was modeled using the beamnrcmonte carlo simulation system. phase-space files were generated a...

Components were developed for the modeling of industrial furnaces in the iron and steel industry like pusher-type and walking beam furnaces. A cell model on the basis of the dynamic pipe model of the Modelica Fluid Library was designed. The cell model computes the heat transfer between furnace walls, flue gas and the processed steel goods. The radiative heat transfer is modeled by a 1-dimension...
