Rene-80 nickel-base superalloy as an alloy for production of the jet turbine blades shows high mechanical properties as well as microstructure stability during the high temperature engine operation. In this research, age hardening heat treatment cycle was done on the as-cast Rene-80 superalloy. In the following, microstructure, elemental analysis of phases and macro-hardness of the alloy before...

Background and Objectives: Thermal processing is an effective method in preventing microbial spoilage but high heat transfer in a long time process that leads to quality loss and increased energy consumption. Also it is important to consider sensitive nature of food products during the thermal processing. Due to the nano-fluids' unique thermo–physical properties compared with the conventional f...

triploidy in grass carp, ctenopharyngodon idella valenciennes, 1844, was induced on fertilized eggs to compare cold and heat shocks. two simplified methods explained for verification of triploidy in grass carp. the cold shock (7 ?c) was given in three treatments for 30 min starting 2.0, 2.5 and 4.0 min after fertilization. in cold shock, the start point (2.0 min after fertilization) showed the ...

background: the objective of this study was to determine the residual concentrations of ethion and imidacloprid in cucumbers grown in greenhouse. the effect of some simple processing procedures on both ethion and imidacloprid residues were also studied. methods: ten active greenhouses that produce cucumber were randomly selected. ethion and imidacloprid as the most widely used pesticides were m...

copper matrix composite reinforced by 1wt.% tib2 particles was prepared using in situ reaction of cu-1.4wt.% ti and cu-0.7wt.% b by rapid solidification and subsequent heat treatment for 1-20 hrs at 900ºc. high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (hrtem) characterization showed that primary tib2 particles were formed in liquid copper. heat treatment of as-solidified samples led to the f...

to design the equipment and facilities for preservation, storage and processing of pomegranate, it is necessary to know the specific heat and thermal conductivity of the fruit components. the specific heat of exocarp, mesocarp and of seeds of pomegranate were assessed at three moisture content levels (30, 50 and 76% for seed and mesocarp; 15, 35 and 52% for exocarp) and at four temperature leve...

the synthesis of titania via sol-gel method has been widely studied. in the present work, titania was deposited onto a titanium substrate via sol-gel method. different processing parameters such as the repetition number of dipping/heat treatment process and dipping time have been studied to obtain the homogenous titania coating. phase and microstructural evaluation of the powder and coating sam...
