Vertical carbon nanotube (CNT) forests bonded at room temperature with sprayed on nanoscale polymer coatings are found by measurement to produce thermal resistances that are on a par with those of conventional metallic solders. These results are achieved by reducing the high contact resistance at CNT tips, which has hindered the development of high performance thermal interface materials based ...

This article presents an investigation of the potential of spray and spouted bed technology for the production of dried extracts of Rosmarinus officinalis Linné, popularly known as rosemary. The extractive solution was characterized by loss on drying, extractable matter and total phenolic and flavonoid compounds (chemical markers). The product was characterized by determination of loss on dryin...

In this paper, the residual stress of thermal spray coatings in gas turbine component by curvature method has been studied. The samples and shaft were coated by hard WC-12Co cermets using high velocity oxy fuel (HVOF) after preparation in same conditions. The curvature of coated samples was measured by using of coordinate measurement machine (CMM). The metallurgical and Tribological studies has...

Thermal sprayed surface coatings are extensively used for a wide range of industrial applications. In the plasma spray process used in thermal spraying, the temperature of substrate and conduction of heat along the thickness of ceramic oxide coatings (TCOC) play an important role in the bond strength and microstructure of the coatings, which decides its performance and quality. In this study, u...

INTRODUCTION It is common in some cryosurgical procedures to rely on freeze-thaw cycle(s) to destroy undesirable tissues. Most research in cryosurgery focuses on the freezing process and much less attention has been paid to thawing or re-warming. However, as ice melts during thawing, the extracellular solution can become locally hypotonic, driving water into cells, resulting in cell expansion a...

This paper examines the effect of the water sprays commonly used to cool freshly drawn glass fibers. A model has been developed using a Karman-Pohlhausen treatment of the velocity and thermal boundary layers and accounting for the evaporation of an entrained water spray. Solutions of the model equations have been calculated, and the effect of changing various process parameters is studied. Vari...

Plasma spray process is one of the most versatile thermal spray deposition processes. There are great number of parameters that influence the quality and characteristic of deposited coating and their values must be defined precisely for each type of coating and used equipment individually. A review of the technology developed for deposition of ferrous-based powder spray (Fe-1.3Cr-1.5Mn-1.2C0.3N...

In this paper, the babbitting of a bearing in boiler feed pump of an electromotor has been studied. These bearings have an important role in reducing the shut down times in the pumps, compressors and turbines. The most conventional method in babbitting is casting as a melting method. The comparison between thermal spray and casting methods in babbitting shows that the thermal spraying babbitt l...

Maintaining protein conformational stability and integrity during formulation is critical for developing protein pharmaceuticals. Accordingly, high sensitivity differential scanning calorimetry (HSDSC) and Fourier transform (FT)-Raman spectroscopy were employed to assess conformational stabilities (thermal stability and folding reversibility) and structural integrities, respectively, for three ...
