Problems of adherence of thermal protective coatings to aerospace structures have become important with their use on vehicles such as the space shuttle and for jet engine turbine blades. In these structures a dielectric coating which acts as a thermal barrier. is bonded to a conductive substrate. Failure of these coatings to adhere to the substrate can result in catastrophic failure of the vehi...

The peaked ion-temperature profile with steep gradient so called ion internal transport barrier (ion ITB) was formed in the neutral beam heated plasmas on the Large Helical Device (LHD) and the high-iontemperature regime of helical plasmas has been significantly extended. The ion thermal diffusivity in the ion ITB plasma decreases down to the neoclassical transport level. The heavy ion beam pro...

Paper presents the application of Gauss estimation procedure in measuring thermal diffusivity of single materials using the laser pulse method. Unlike procedures, based on that originally established by Parker et al., where thermal diffusivity is derived using one or more characteristic points of experimental signal, this one belongs to socalled inverse technique, which makes use of complete me...

ion based on detailed computational thermal repository performance calculations has resulted in implementation of the STC estimation algorithm and a supporting reference dataset. This method is capable of rapid estimation of temperature increase near emplacement tunnels as a function of waste composition, limiting radius, rlim, waste package spacing, S, near field thermal conductivity, Kth, and...

A microfabricated calorimeter (μ-calorimeter) with an enclosed reaction chamber is presented. The 3D micromachined reaction chamber is capable of analyzing liquid samples with volume of 200 nl. The thin film low-stress silicon nitride membrane is used to reduce thermal mass of the calorimeter and increase the sensitivity of system. The μ-calorimeter has been designed to perform DC and AC calori...

A Michelson interferometer was used as a precise detector in the Mirage effect configuration in order to determine the thermal diffusivity of the diluted rnagnetic semiconductor Cd, -,Mn,Te, in the concentration range O<x<0.6 at roorn ternperature. This zinc-blende temary alloy exhibits an alrnost linear behavior of the thermal diffusivity as a function of Mn concentration. This trend is simila...

Thermal diffusivity values of molten germanium and silicon were measured by a laser flash method. Simple but useful sample cell systems were developed to keep the molten germanium and silicon shape uniform for a given thickness. In the present experimental condition, it is necessary to consider the effect of not only the radiative heat loss but also the conductive heat loss at the interface bet...

In lock-in thermography the thermal diffusivity can be obtained from the slope of the linear relation between the phase of the surface temperature and the distance to the heating spot. However, in the case of thin samples, the linearity is not found. In this work we identify heat conduction to the surrounding gas as the mechanism responsible for the lost of linearity. Accordingly accurate measu...

introduction: malt extract is one of the malt products obtainedfrom concentrations of water soluble extract of grains such as barley and is a proper alternative to white sugar. it has a high diastasis properties andcontainshigh amount of different vitamins specially the group of vitamin b as well as high amount of fermentable sugars. therefore, malt extract has high nutritional value and is rec...

Cross-magnetic-field heat transport in a quiescent pure ion plasma is found to be diffusive and to be dominated by long-range collisions with impact parameters up to a Debye length. The measured thermal diffusivity x agrees within a factor of 2 with the long-range prediction xL ­ 0.49nȳb2l 2 D over a range of 103 in temperature, 50 in density, and 4 in magnetic field. This thermal diffusivity i...
