Among all of the freezing transitions, that of water into ice is probably the most relevant to biology, physics, geology, or atmospheric science. In this work, we investigate homogeneous ice nucleation by means of computer simulations. We evaluate the size of the critical cluster and the nucleation rate for temperatures ranging between 15 and 35 K below melting. We use the TIP4P/2005 and the TI...

In this research, the influence of chemical composition of slags and the melting rate on the impurity of commercial grade iron in ESR processing has been investigated.The chemical composition and microstructure studies were evaluated, using spectrophotometer,OMand EDX analyses attached to SEM.The results show that ESR process has successfully reduced the amount and size of inclusions. In some c...

The RheoMetal process (previously called the Rapid Sand RSFprocess) is a novel method to produce cost effective, high quality, semisolid slurries for component casting. The RheoMetal process uses an Enthalpy Exchange Material (EEM) as cooling agent to absorb heat and produce a slurry. Critical process parameters to create a slurry by robust melting of the EEM are alloy content, stirring speed, ...

in this study, the slurry polymerization of ethylene over ticl4/mgcl2/alet3 was obtained. firstly, to obtain the optimum value of [al]/[ti], the effect of [al]/[ti] on polymerization rate and catalyst yield was studied. also, the effect of catalyst content on yielding, crystallization, melting point and density of product were obtained. to determine the order of reaction, the monomer pressure w...

State-of-the-art melting of tantalum and tantalum alloys has relied on electron beam (EB) or vacuum arc remelting (VAR) for commercial ingot production. Plasma arc melting (PAM) provides an alternative for melting tantalum that contains very high levels of interstitials where other melting techniques can not be applied. Previous work in this area centered on plasma arc melt quality and final in...

In this study, metal behavior in ash-melting and municipal solid waste (MSW) gasiWcation-melting facilities were investigated. Eight ash-melting and three MSW gasiWcation-melting facilities with a variety of melting processes and feedstocks were selected. From each facility, melting furnace Xy ash (MFA) and molten slag were sampled, and feedstock of the ash-melting processes was also taken. For...

In this study, metal behavior in ash-melting and municipal solid waste (MSW) gasification-melting facilities were investigated. Eight ash-melting and three MSW gasification-melting facilities with a variety of melting processes and feedstocks were selected. From each facility, melting furnace fly ash (MFA) and molten slag were sampled, and feedstock of the ash-melting processes was also taken. ...

[1] Buffett and Archer (2004) showed a model of the steady state global ocean clathrate reservoir that reproduces drill data and predicts a global methane inventory of about 5000 Gton C. The model inventory is very sensitive to ocean temperature, with factor-of-two changes in methane inventory in response to temperature changes of 1.5 C. Here we explore the potential time-dependent behavior of ...
