AbstractCompound semiconductors find extensive application as magnetic position sensors in the automotive environment. Typical applications involve the sensor element, a permanent magnet attached to the sensor, and a moving magnetic circuit -a target wheel. Wider mechanical gaps in the magnetic circuit can be utilized with a sensor of higher sensitivity, and thus high sensitivity is valuable. Further limitations on the choice of materials are imposed by temperature sensitivity, as the automotive environment is characterized by wide temperature operating ranges (-40°C up to 200°C). The magnetic signal may be hidden by the temperature drift in the sensor output, andthus temperature stability limits the sensor's resolution. Automotive position sensors find use in ignition timing and misfire detection (cam and crank sensors), as wheel speed sensors (anti-lock brakes and other types of active wheel-control), in brushless electric motors and several other applications. This work reviews progress achieved to refine the use of InSb for automotive sensing applications.

The textures and chemistry of sulphides were investigated in 63 rocks from the Fiskenæsset complex, West Greenland, by light microscopy, electron microprobe, and X-ray diffraction techniques. Sulphides are found disseminated throughout the layered sequence, being especially concentrated in the ultramafic zone and in ultramafic lenses in the higher zones. Sulphide phases are restricted to the Cu-Fe-Ni-Co-S system – pentlandite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, pyrite, millerite, heazlewoodite, cobalt-pentlandite, polydymite, godlevskite, violarite, cubanite, and digenite. Most sulphides occur interstitially as rounded globules often containing significant quantities of oxides. Some aggregates occur as inclusions in silicate or chromite, as ragged stringers between other phases, or with scalloped intercumulus textures. Subsolidus reactions are common; fine-scale intergrowths of pentlandite-pyrite, chalcopyrite-pyrite, chalcopyrite-cubanite, pentlandite-heazlewoodite and pentlandite-godlevskite-polydymite occur. Euhedral pyrite is found in the anorthosites and chromitites. Pyrite-millerite appears to be an equilibrium pair in some rocks. Weathering affects the major phases in the following order: pyrrhotite > chalcopyrite > pentlandite. Temperature stability limits for several of the phases, equilibrium phase assemblages, and textures of the sulphide intergrowths, all indicate that the sulphides have re-equilibrated to low temperatures. The common pyrite-pentlandite assemblage places a 230°C upper limit, and the digenite composition places a 125°C lower limit, on the temperature of equilibration. A marked sulphide stratigraphy which correlates with silicate chemistry is present in the Fiskenæsset complex. There is a systematic progression from Ni,Fe-rich sulphides in the lower ultramafic and mafic zones to Cu,S-rich assemblages in the upper, more felsic zones. Sulphide fractionation exhibiting some of these features is also found in other layered igneous intrusions. The similarity of the Fiskenæsset sulphides with those in other intrusions, coupled with the unlikely possibility of derivation of the sulphides by assimilation or metasomatism, implies that the sulphides were derived from the original magma.

Constraining deep-water recycling along subduction zones is a first-order problem to understand how Earth has maintained a hydrosphere over billions of years that created conditions for a habitable planet. The pressure-temperature stability of hydrous phases in conjunction with slab geotherms determines how much H2O leaves the slab or is transported to the deep mantle. Chlorite-rich, metasomatic rocks that form at the slab-mantle interface at 50–100 km depth represent an unaccounted, H2O-rich reservoir in subduction processes. Through a series of high-pressure experiments, we investigated the fate of such chlorite-rich rocks at the most critical conditions for subduction water recycling (5–6.2 GPa, 620–800 °C) using two different natural ultramafic compositions. Up to 5.7 GPa, 740 °C, chlorite breaks down to an anhydrous peridotite assemblage, and H2O is released. However, at higher pressures and lower temperatures, a hydrous Al-rich silicate (11.5 Å phase) is an important carrier to enable water transfer to the deep mantle for cold subduction zones. Based on the new phase diagrams, it is suggested that the deep-water cycle might not be in secular equilibrium.

The present research aims to analyse diffusion flame in a tube type burner with Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) as a fuel. An experimental investigation is performed to study flame appearance, flame stability, Soot free length fraction (SFLF) and CO emission of LPG diffusion flame. Effects of varying air and fuel velocities are analysed to understand the physical process involved in combustion. SFLF is measured to estimate the reduction of soot. Stability limits of the diffusion flame are characterized by the blowoff velocity. Emission characteristic in terms of CO level is measured at different equivalence ratios. Experimental results show that the air and fuel velocity strongly influences the appearance of LPG diffusion flame. At a constant fuel velocity, blue zone increases and the luminous zone decreases with the increase in air velocity. It is observed that the SFLF increases with increasing air velocity at a constant fuel velocity. It is observed that the blowoff velocity of the diffusion flame increases as fuel velocity increases. Comparison of emission for flame with and without swirl indicates that swirl results in low emission of CO and higher flame stability. Swirler with 45° vanes achieved the lowest CO emission of 30 ppm at Φ = 1.3.
