Many years ago I projected an experiment to test the voltaic relations between different metals with glass substituted for the electrolytic liquid of an ordinary simple voltaic cell, and with so high a temperature that the glass would have conducting-power sufficient to allow induction through it to rule the difference of potentials between the two metals. Imperfect instrumental arrangements, and want of knowledge of the temperature at which glass would have sufficient conductivity to give satisfactory results, have hitherto prevented me from carrying out the proposed investigation. The quadrant electrometer has supplied the first of these deficiencies, and Mr. Perry’s recent experiments on the conductivity of glass at different temperatures the second. The investigation has now been resumed; and in a preliminary experiment I have already obtained a very decided result.

The respiratory rates of three species of planktonic copepods, Acartia clausi, Centropages hamatus and Temora longicornis, were measured at four different temperatures.The relationship between respiratory rate and temperature was found to be similar to that previously found for Calanus, although the slope of the curves differed in the different species.The observations on Centropages at 13 and 170 C. can be divided into two groups and it is suggested that the differences are due to the use of copepods from two different generations.The relationship between the respiratory rates and lengths of Acartia and Centropages agreed very well with that previously found for other species. That for Temora was rather different: the difference is probably due to the distinct difference in the shape of the body of Temora from those of the other species.The application of these measurements to estimates of the food requirements of the copepods is discussed.

The polyfunctional organic compounds 2- hydroxymethyl -1,4- butanediol (trihydric alcohol) and toluene diisocyanate -2, 4- diisocyanate (TDI) were taken as the raw materials in this study. A polyurethane dendrimer was synthesized by utilizing the difference in the reaction activity of two isocyanate groups of TDI at different temperatures. The polymerization process conditions were studied. The addition polymerization of para-position NCO groups occurred at 50 °C, and that of ortho NCO groups occurred at 90 °C. According to the structure of the dendrimer synthesized, methyl orange was used as the guest molecule. Consequently, the aqueous methyl orange showed a phase transfer. With the increase of dendrimer concentration, the transfer rate of methyl orange increased.

Heat-treated salamis “Vysočina“ were produced with standard way in a meat factory; their diameter was 55 mm. Samples were stored under laboratory conditions at different temperatures: 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 °C and sensory analysed every week during one month storage. The dry matter (d.m.) was measured, too. Descriptors of general appearance, sausage casing, texture, cut surface, dry edge, smell, taste, and salty were monitored. Biggest changes were in descriptors general appearance and sausage casing (P < 0.001) and also in dry edge (P < 0.010) during the month period. Germs of moulds were found only at 5 and 10 °C. Rapid increase of d.m. in samples was noticeable in the first week of the storage time. It was 3 % d.m. at 5 °C and 11 % d.m. at 25 °C. Increase of d.m. of salamis continues slowly in the next three weeks period; the total difference was about 10 % d.m. in the temperature range measured. Decrease of d.m. at 5 °C was noticed in the last week of the measurement. The difference was 3.5 % d.m. This change means that the equilibrium moisture content of the samples of salamis has been reached at the temperature 5 °C. The best sensorial quality of salamis “Vysočina” was in the storage temperature ranged from 15 to 20 °C.

The change in the microhardness over the thickness of samples made of EDT-69N binder cured in vacuum and at atmospheric pressure at temperatures from 130 to 170°C was investigated. It was found that the change in microhardness along the thickness of the samples occurs according to the parabolic law, with the maximum values being achieved in the middle of the sample cross-section along the thickness. With an increase in the molding temperature, the microhardness in the middle section of the sample increases from 222 MPa at a molding temperature of 130°C to 410 MPa during molding at 170°C. At the critical molding temperature (170°C), the microhardness in all zones of the specimen cross section (subsurface, semi-average, and core) levels off, while the parabolic dependence degenerates into a straight line. It is shown that the method of scratching (sclerometry) demonstrated a sufficiently high sensitivity to the state of samples cured at different temperatures. With an increase in the molding temperature, the width of the sclerometric grooves decreases. At a critical molding temperature of 170°C, the groove width is stabilized and becomes constant throughout the sample thickness. To characterize the difference in the values of the microhardness of the cured binder in the sample volume, it is proposed to use a dimensionless “coefficient of volume anisotropy,” which can take a positive, negative or zero value. With an increase in the curing temperature of the binder and, accordingly, with an increase in the microhardness of the sample, the coefficient of volume anisotropy decreases, and when the samples are molded at the critical temperature, it turns to zero, which indicates the absence of anisotropy.

The paper presents comparison of microstructure and fracture surface morphology of the CuAlNi shape memory alloy (SMA) after different heat treatment procedures. The investigation was performed on samples in as-cast state and heat treated states (solution annealing at temperatures of 850 °C / 60’ / H2O and 920 °C / 60’ / H2O along with tempering at two different temperature 150 °C / 60’ / H2O and 300 °C / 60’ / H2O). The microstructure of the samples was examined by optical (OM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with device for EDS analysis. The obtained fracture surfaces were examined by SEM. Optical and scanning electron microscopy showed martensitic microstructure in all investigated samples. However, the fractographic analysis of samples after tensile testing reveals significant changes in fracture mechanism. In both solution annealed states the results shows transgranular type of fracture, but after tempering at two different temperatures the difference is obvious. After tempering at 150 °C, along with transgranular type of fracture appear some areas with intergranular type of fracture. After tempering at 300 °C, fracture surface reveals completely intergranular type of fracture.

Gas-lubricated microbearings are widely applied in multiple fields due to their advantages of high-speed, low friction level and other features. The operating environment of microbearings is complex, and the difference of temperature has an important influence on their comprehensive performance. In this investigation, FEM (finite element method) is employed to investigate the static, dynamic and limit characteristics of microbearings lubricated by different kinds of gas at different temperatures. The results show that the rise of temperature leads to the decline of equivalent viscosity of gas, which weakens the load capacity of microbearings, and furthermore, affects the operating stability of microbearings. The dynamic performances of microbearings at different temperatures are very different, and the two dynamic limit characteristics are more sensitive to temperature when it changes.

AbstractPlasma-sprayed cast iron splats were deposited onto polished aluminum substrates preheated to different temperatures ranging from 25°C to 250°C. The morphology of single splat was observed by a field emission scanning electron microscope. Quantitative characterization methods, including fractal dimension (FD) and circularity analyses of the splat profile, were employed to identify the difference in morphology of the splats with the change of the substrate temperature. The results showed that the substrate temperature has a significant effect on the spreading of molten droplets and the morphology of resultant splats through changing the solidification rate of the droplets. With the increment of substrate temperature, the homogeneous and sufficient spreading of the droplets resulted from low solidification rate reduces the splashing of the droplets. In addition, the evaporation of adsorbed moisture on the substrate improves the wettability between the spreading droplet and the substrate, then benefits the homogeneous spreading of the molten droplet. As a result, a distinct decline in the FD value was observed. It was also suggested that the FD analysis could be used to characterize the morphology of the splat more effectively while the circularity method was heavily dependent on the area of the splat.

ABSTRACT Sorption isotherms are of great importance in post-harvest procedures, especially for predicting drying and storage, which help to establish the final moisture content of the product under certain environmental condition. Hysteresis is a phenomenon that occurs due to the difference between adsorption and desorption curves, which aids the evaluation of chemical and microbiological deteriorations, indicating the stability of stored products. Moisture sorption isotherms of castor beans were determined and hysteresis was analyzed. Static gravimetric technique at different temperatures (25, 35, 45 and 55 ± 1 °C) was used. Saturated salt solutions in the range of 37-87% ± 2% were utilized to create the required controlled relative humidity environment. Equilibrium moisture content data were correlated by different mathematical models and the Modified Halsey model presented good adjustment for the data, according to statistical procedures. Hysteresis between adsorption and desorption isotherms is present over the range of 0.2-0.9 of water activity, regardless of the temperature. This phenomenon decreases with temperature increase.

Rotational viscosities of different asphalt binders were determined at temperatures between 80°C and 185°C. Viscosity–temperature dependence of asphalt binders was described with the use of the Vogel–Tammann–Fulcher (VTF) and the William–Landel–Ferry (WLF) equations. The Vogel temperature ( Tv) and the glass transition temperature ( Tg) for different asphalt binders were determined by fitting experimental values of viscosity at different temperatures with these two equations. For asphalt binders, the difference between Tv and Tg was about 40K. Effects of asphaltenes, aging, chemical modification, and polymer content on these temperatures were evaluated. As asphaltene content increased, both temperatures, Tv and Tg, increased. Different polymers showed different effects on these temperatures. The values of Tv and Tg were correlated with the critical cracking temperature ( Tcr) determined through use of a bending beam rheometer and a direct tension tester. The results suggested that the correlations between Tv, Tg, and Tcr could be used to determine Tcr from the rotational viscosity results tested at high temperature. With simple rotational measurements, a quick estimation of Tcr of asphalt binders could be obtained. Liquid fragility theory was also used to study Tg of asphalt binders. Parameters determined with the VTF and WLF equations indicated that asphalt binders behaved as fragile liquids because of their non-Arrhenius behavior in the temperature range studied.

Abstract Measurement of physical properties of materials in extreme conditions, such as high temperature, is limited by technological challenges. Nevertheless, modeling of several phenomena relies on the existence of experimental data for their validation. In this study, a method suitable for determination of density in a liquid phase at high temperature is proposed and tested on Al2O3–ZrO2 system. A methodology for acquiring the temperature dependence of density for radioactive materials is proposed and is aimed to refine severe nuclear accidents modeling. The oxide was melted in an induction furnace with a cold crucible. The measurement was based on evaluation of the volume of the melt at different temperatures, in a range from 2100 to 2400 °C. The densities of the oxide in the solid-state and the skull-layer were measured using a pycnometer. A temperature dependence of the density was established and the results were compared with literature. The difference between existing data and the measured values in this work was less than 5%. Thus, the proposed methodology provides reliable density values in extreme conditions.
