abstract in order to estimate the reference evapotranspiration different equation is used. validity of each methods depends upon the climate and the parameters which are used in these equations. therefore it is necessary to calibrate these methods for any specific area and for any desired frequency. in this study common temperature and radiation based methods were used for calculating crop evap...

the thermally stimulated discharge (tsdc) current is studied for acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (nbr) loaded with different high abrasion furnace carbon black (haf). tsdc peak appears only for higher haf contents > 60phr (70 and 80phr of haf contents), the tsdc spectra consist of a sharp peak corresponding to a peak temperature tm which is slightly shifted to higher temperature for 70phr ...

In this work, effects of different tool pin profiles of flat and tapered shoulder geometries on the peak temperature in friction stir welding are investigated analytically. The developed models used for the analytical investigations considered the welding process as a combination or mixture of the pure sliding and the pure sticking. From the results, the amount of heat generation and the peak t...

With the continuing increase of chip density and the shrinkage of feature size of transistor in VLSI circuits, high temperature has become a concerned issue. High temperature not only decreases the functionality and reliability of chips, but also causes high package cost in order to cool down the system. For design consideration, one important issue related to temperature is how hot the chip ma...

Heat generation in an exothermic reaction during the curing process and low thermal conductivity of the epoxy resin produces high peak temperature and temperature gradients which result in internal and residual stresses, especially in large epoxy samples. In this paper, an optimization algorithm was developed and applied to predict the thermal cure cycle to minimize the temperature peak and the...
