Dust explosions threaten the solids process industry. Parameters influencing dust include particle size, chemical composition, and polydispersity; however, morphology is often overlooked. Studies show impacts cloud minimum ignition energy (MIE) via heat transfer because higher specific surface results in lower conductive resistance. However, not only factor impacting MIE; effect of on dynamics ...

ruthenium dioxide nanoparticles (ruo2 ) with an average particle size of 50 nm are readily synthesized from rucl3.xh2o via the precipitation process in the presence of in-situ sodium octanoate as anionic surfactant. the phase composition, morphology, lattice parameters and size of nanoparticles in these products are characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir), x-ray diffrac...

Three-dimensional visualization is a new research field in information processing and VTK is a visualization toolkit with strong functions. Due to the fact that most two-dimensional microfabric models of coarse-aggregate materials are not accurate, three-dimensional model is needed. This study laid its focus on the theoretical model of three-dimensional visualization and the visualization techn...

Ti Grade 2 was prepared by cryogenic attritor milling in liquid nitrogen and liquid argon. Two types of milling balls were used—stainless steel balls and heavy tungsten carbide balls. The effect of processing parameters on particle size and morphology, contamination of powder and its microhardness was investigated. Milling in liquid nitrogen was not feasible due to excessive contamination by ni...

Cobalt Oxide/ Zinc Oxide nanocomposite was synthesized by dropwise addition ofCo(NO)3.6H2O and Zn(NO3)2.4H2O solutions to KOH solution at different temperatures followed bycalcination at 300ºC for 4 h. The morphology and structure of nanoparticles and the influence oftemperature on particle size were studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-RayDiffraction (XRD). Minimum particle s...

Mullite and mullite/ZrO2-7wt.%Y2O3 coatings could be thought among the main protective layers for environment barrier coatings (EBCs) to protect Si-based substrates in future gas turbine engines. Considering that feedstock of the compound powder is not commercially available, two powder processing routes Spray Drying (SD) and Flame Spheroidization (FS) were implemented for both types of powders...
