Microtextured superhydrophobic surfaces have shown potential in friction reduction applications and could be poised to make a significant impact in thermal management applications. The purpose of this paper is to account for the thermal effects of the heated fluid flowing in superhydrophobic microfluidic channels. Through microscopic observation and flow rate measurements it was observed that (1) heating may prolong the Cassie state even under elevated pressure drops by increasing the temperature in the gas layer and that (2) excessive heating may pinch the microchannel flow due to the air layer invading into the liquid layer.

ABSTRACTThe interfacial structure of a large lattice mismatched (˜25%) (111) Ag-Si system was studied by using transmission electron diffraction (SADP - Selected Area Diffraction Pattern). The epitaxial films of Ag (600–1200Å) were grown by MBE on flat Si(111) and misoriented Si(1ll) surfaces. We have examined the interfacial structures of the Ag on 2° misoriented Si(111) using diffraction patterns of cross sectional view. Through a detail analysis of thelocation and shape of the diffraction spots, we can determine the epitaxial relationship between Ag and Si, the small tilt angle of Ag(111) planes withrespect to the misoriented Si(111), the period of the finite terrace size of the misoriented Si substrate, and the size of the ordered region in the Ag film. The O-lattice analysis developed by Bollmann has beenapplied to this interface andthe result is compared with the SADP observation.

Mycobacteriophage R1 was originally isolated from a lysogenic culture of M. butyricum. The virus was propagated on a leucine-requiring derivative of M. smegmatis, 607 leu−, isolated by nitrosoguanidine mutagenesis of typestrain ATCC 607. Growth was accomplished in a minimal medium containing glycerol and glucose as carbon source and enriched by the addition of 80 μg/ ml L-leucine. Bacteria in early logarithmic growth phase were infected with virus at a multiplicity of 5, and incubated with aeration for 8 hours. The partially lysed suspension was diluted 1:10 in growth medium and incubated for a further 8 hours. This permitted stationary phase cells to re-enter logarithmic growth and resulted in complete lysis of the culture.

Amorphous materials are of current interest due to their desirable mechanical, electrical and magnetic properties. Furthermore, crystallizing amorphous alloys provides an avenue for discerning sequential and competitive phases thus allowing access to otherwise inaccessible crystalline structures. Previous studies have shown the benefits of using AEM to determine crystal structures and compositions of partially crystallized alloys. The present paper will discuss the AEM characterization of crystallized Cu-Ti and Ni-Ti amorphous films.Cu60Ti40: The amorphous alloy Cu60Ti40, when continuously heated, forms a simple intermediate, macrocrystalline phase which then transforms to the ordered, equilibrium Cu3Ti2 phase. However, contrary to what one would expect from kinetic considerations, isothermal annealing below the isochronal crystallization temperature results in direct nucleation and growth of Cu3Ti2 from the amorphous matrix.
