in this study the operations of melting of au15ag40 nanoalloy have been studied using the molecular dynamic simulations through the gupta multiparticle potential and the nonergodicity of simulations is eliminated by the multiple histogram method. the melting characteristics are determined by the analysis of variations in the potential energy. the calculations indicate that the melting of au15ag...

The roll of melting heat transfer on magnetohydrodynamic natural convection in a square enclosure with heating of bottom wall is examined numerically in this article. The dimensionless governing partial differential equations are transformed into vorticity and stream function formulation and then solved using the finite difference method (FDM). The effects of thermal Rayleigh number (Ra</em...

A prototype modular single screw extruder fitted with a screw extracting device is used to monitor melting of an immiscible polymer blend (PP/PA6, with different weight ratios) in this popular type of processing equipment. As anticipated, the observed phenomena are much more complex than those involved in extruding PP or PA6, when the well known Maddock/Tadmor mechanism is valid. Consequently a...

where Ws and WL represent the number of independent ways of realizing the arrangements of solid and melt respectively and Sf is the entropy of fusion. Each new kind of disorder which occurs on passing from the crystal to the melt involves a new mechanism of randomization on melting. Ubbelohde! has summarized the different ways of randomization in the transition from the solid to the melt as pos...

In their letter, Datchi et al. (1) question (i) the recoverability of CO2-V at low pressure and (ii ) the identification of CO2-V as a Pna21 structure in our paper (2). We argue below that both of Datchi et al.’s (1) claims are incorrect. Regarding Datchi et al.’s (1) first claim, it is well known that polymeric phase V of CO2 (CO2-V) is metastable at low pressures below 10 GPa, where phase I i...

Melting is a major step in plasticating single screw extrusion, but most of the existing phenomenological know how was gathered by performing Maddock-type experiments with homopolymers. Given the current widespread industrial use of polymer blends, it is worth determining whether the same mechanisms and mathematical models apply, or whether different sequences develop. This work reports the res...

Experimental study of the atomic mechanism in melting and freezing processes remains a formidable challenge. We report herein on a unique material system that allows for in situ growth of bismuth nanoparticles from the precursor compound SrBi2Ta2O9 under an electron beam within a high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM). Simultaneously, the melting and freezing processes within ...

Molecular dynamics simulations were used to study the change in the mechanism of iron cluster melting with increasing cluster size. Melting of smaller clusters (e.g., Fe55 and Fe100) occurs over a large temperature interval where the phase of the cluster repeatedly oscillates between liquid and solid. In contrast, larger clusters (e.g., Fe300) have sharper melting points with surface melting pr...
