Potential applied at the two ends of a tapered capillary can produce an electric field and a pH gradient at the same time. These fields will effect electrophoretic separation, if the diameters of capillaries are not uniform. In some cases these gradients can be used to our advantage. For example, this approach provides a simple way to perform isoelectric focusing without carrier ampholytes as J...

The existence of a net heat current conductive thermal waves is demonstrated even in the absence mean temperature gradient. This effect, which we called shuttling, generated by temperature-dependent conductivity materials excited with excitation periodically modulated time. We show that this modulation gives rise to superimposed on one gradient, enhances transport when increases temperature. By...

In a travelling wave thermoacoustic device, the regenerator sandwiched between a pair of (hot and cold) heat exchangers constitutes the so-called thermoacoustic core, where the thermoacoustic energy conversion from heat to acoustic power takes place. The temperature gradient along the regenerator caused by the two heat exchangers excites and maintains the acoustic wave in the resonator. The dev...

Nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations of microturbulence simultaneously driven by electron temperature gradient modes, trapped electron modes, and ion temperature gradient modes are presented, covering both electron and ion spatiotemporal scales self-consistently. It is found that, for realistic ion heat (and particle) flux levels and in the presence of unstable electron temperature gradient modes,...

Experiments were conducted to study the effects of heat release in a planar, gas-phase, reacting mixing layer formed between two free streams, one containing hydrogen in an inert diluent, the other, fluorine in an inert diluent. Sufficiently high concentrations of reactants were utilized to produce adiabatic flame temperature rises of up to 940 K (corresponding to 1240 K absolute). The temperat...

The object of the present paper is to study temperature distribution and thermal stresses of a functionally graded thick hollow cylinder with temperature dependent material properties. All the material properties except Poisson’s ratio are assumed to be dependent on temperature. The nonlinear heat conduction with temperature dependent thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity is reduced t...

The changing configurations of continents due to plate tectonics is thought to be responsible for some of the variation in climate over the last 600 Ma. Different topological constraints on the oceans may affect their ability to transport heat poleward and change the equilibrium pole-equator temperature of Earth. An ocean model was run for three simple continental geometries to determine the ef...

In this paper, we investigate the null controllability of thermoelastic plates when the control (heat source) acts in the thermal equation. In general, these models consist of an elastic motion equation and a heat equation, which are coupled in such a way that the energy transfer between them is taken into account. The plate, we consider here, is derived in the light of [18]. Transverse shear e...

The heat transfer for a non-Newtonian power-law fluid over a moving surface is investigated by applying a uniform suction/injection velocity profile. The flow is influenced by internal heat generation/absorption. The energy equation is solved at constant surface temperature condition. The Merk-Chao series is applied to obtain a set of ODEs instead of a complicated PDE. The converted ordinary diffe...
