the objective of this research was to study the drying characteristics of powderedagricultural residues. drying experiments of wheat straw (triticum aestivum) wereconducted at four temperatures of 50, 60, 70, and 80°c by a thermogravimetric analyzer.drying temperature had a significant effect on the moisture change and drying time.there was no constant drying rate period, but a short rising rat...

We show the multidimensional stability of subsonic phase transitions in a non-isothermal van der Waals fluid. Based on the existence result of planar waves in our previous work [1], a jump condition is posed on non-isothermal phase boundaries which makes the argument possible. Stability of planar waves both in one dimensional and multidimensional spaces are proved.

For a two-level quantum mechanical system, we derive microscopically the exact expression for the fluctuation of microscopic work in a multistep nonequilibrium process, and we rigorously prove that in an isothermal process, the fluctuation is vanishingly small and the most probabilistic work is just equal to the difference of the free energy. Our study demonstrates that the convergence of the m...

the effects of temperature, time and the strategy of prepolymerization were studied on the morphology of polypropylene particles. propylene polymerization was carried out in slurry phase using 4th generation of ziegler-natta catalyst, cyclohexylmethyl dimethoxysilane as external electron donor, and triethyl aluminum as co-catalyst. prepolymerizations were carried out based on two strategies: is...

the present article serves the purpose of pursuing geometrization of heat flow on volumetrically isothermal manifold by means of rf approach. in this article, we have analyzed the evolution of heat equation in a 3-dimensional smooth isothermal manifold bearing characteristics of riemannian manifold and fundamental properties of thermodynamic systems. by making use of the notions of various curva...

Morphological models for polymer crystallization under isothermal and temperature gradient conditions with a particle level set method are proposed. In these models, the particle level set method is used to improve the accuracy in studying crystal interaction. The predicted development of crystallinity during crystallization under quiescent isothermal condition by our model is reanalyzed with t...
