My group developed a simple method to prepare copper nitride fine particles from copper carboxylate in a solvent of long-chain alcohols without the use of high temperatures or high pressures. By selecting copper acetate or copper decanoate as the copper source, my group demonstrated that the morphology of the copper nitride fine particles varied between cubic and plate-like, respectively. Altho...

The computational fluid dynamics is concentrated on the forced air cooling of the CPU using a heat sink. This paper utilizes CFD to identify a cooling solution for a desktop computer, which uses an 80 W CPU maximum whereas this number will be increased in the range of 70-120W in the forthcoming desktop computer systems. The design is able to cool the chassis with one fan with air blowing over h...

in the present research, friction stir welding (fsw) process was used for butt joining of pure copper plate to 316l stainless steel plate. mechanical properties and microstructural characteristics of the joint were evaluated by microhardness and tensile tests as well as optical and scanning electron microscope (sem). it was found that microstructure of the weld nugget (wn) has fine grains where...

Retained intraocular BBs are difficult to remove. According to manufacturers' specifications, BBs have a spherical diameter of 4.5 mm and a copper plate covering a steel core. They have only moderate magnetic properties because of the copper plate cover and they are too large to be grasped by almost all intraocular forceps and, therefore, present a problem when they are retained in the eye afte...

Many companies in India manufacture solar water heaters but these are not becoming popular in the domestic sector because of their high cost. The Ministry of Non-Conventional Energy Sources (MNES), New Delhi is recommending flat-plate collectors with copper (Cu) risers, headers and plate. Therefore, their cost is high. Long term studies have been carried out at the Central Arid Zone Research In...

This paper presents the numerical analysis of a Miniature-Scale Refrigeration System (MSRS) for electronics cooling. The system consists of a simulated electronic chip attached to a microchannel cold plate evaporator, a compressor, a microchannel condenser, and an expansion device. The system uses R-134a as the refrigerant. A copper block heater is designed to simulate the heat generation of an...

Thirty-seven metal chelate complexes of salts of 8-quinolinols with aromatic hydroxycarboxylic acids were screened by the disc-plate method against strains of five bacteria and five fungi. The copper (II) chelates of 8-quinolinolium salicylate and 8-quinolinolium-3'-hydroxy-2'-naphthoate showed outstanding antifungal and good antibacterial properties and appear to be potentially more economical...
