Corrosion tests of Al and SS-304-sputtering-surface treated STBA26 (9Cr.1Mo.0.1Si) and SiC/SiC composites with BN (boron nitide) coating has been conducted in high temperature LBE of 700°C at low oxygen concentration of 6.8 × 10−7 wt% and the behavior was analyzed. The sputtering technique was used to protect the steel from corrosion. The thickness of sputtering-treated layer was 21.45 μm. All specimens were immersed in LBE in a pot for 1000 hours. The STBA26 (9Cr.1Mo.0.1Si) without surface treated were also tested for comparison with sputtering-treated steels. The results showed that sputtering-treated layer still remained on the base of STBA26. No penetration of LBE was observed in this layer. The layer could protect the steel from penetration of LBE. The result also showed that thin layer which contains aluminum oxide and chromium oxide was formed on the surface-treated layer, and it protected the base area. On the contrary, the penetration in base area was observed in the as received STBA26. In SiC/SiC composites, there appeared cracks in a thin surface area and LBE penetrated deeply into the material. The corrosion did not occur in this SiC/SiC composite in the high temperature LBE.

Spontaneous emission spectroscopy has been applied to measure the time-resolved temperature profiles of gaseous fuel flames using high temperature and low oxygen concentration combustion air. Two emission peaks of C2 radical species have been observed at visible wavelengths from propane-air flames. The ratio of these two peaks depends on the flame temperature. The relationship between the ratios of these peaks was correlated with the thermocouple output using a premixed flat flame burner and a multichannel CCD spectrometer. Using this relationship, the flame temperature was determined from the ratio of the C2 peaks. Time-resolved emission intensity profiles of the two C2 bands (two-wavelength image) were observed simultaneously with a high sensitivity video camera fitted with an optical system. The time-resolved temperature profiles were constructed from these intensity profiles by utilizing the previously determined relationship at each pixel. To evaluate fluctuations of flame temperatures, the standard deviation profiles for the temperature profiles have been constructed. This spectroscopic diagnostic technique has been used to measure the profiles of mean flame temperature and temperature fluctuation produced from a concentric diffusion flame using propane as the fuel and high temperature and low oxygen concentration combustion air. In this study, the effect of air-preheat and low oxygen concentration in the combustion air on the subsequent flame temperature and temperature fluctuations has been determined by analyzing the spectra of spontaneous emission from the C2 radicals.

During three consecutive years, monthly samples of zooplankton were taken in the lacustrine (dam) zone of Jurumirim (São Paulo, Brazil). The seasonal effect on basic limnological features (thermal regime, oxygen distribution, phytoplankton biomass, etc.) was also examined. The influence of the seasonality on the fluctuation of the zooplankton composition and abundance was not clearly detected (low degree of recurrent patterns). Rotifers (32 taxa) were the most abundant organisms during almost the entire study period with some seasonal alternations in the maximum abundance peaks of the main taxa (Conochilus unicornis, Keratella americana, K. cochlearis and Hexarthra spp.), except for Polyarthra (mainly P. vulgaris). Only occasionally copepods were numerically dominant. Higher copepod abundance was positively associated to periods of increase in the water retention time. Among the Copepoda (10 taxa) the calanoids (mainly Notodiaptomus iheringi) were more abundant, especially in warmer periods. Conversely, cyclopoids had higher abundance in autumn and winter. The species Thermocyclops minutus and T. decipiens co-occurred, but the first attained higher abundance. Some evidence of co-existence strategies between both species are considered. Cladocera (17 taxa) was never numerically dominant and the main taxa (Bosmina spp., Ceriodaphnia spp. and Diaphanosoma spp.) occurred almost the whole study period and did not present a seasonal pattern of fluctuation. Diaphanosoma (mainly D. birgei) attained the highest abundance among cladocerans. Most organisms were always found at the surface, but they also occupy the whole water column, even in periods of stratified conditions and low oxygen concentration in the bottom layers. Among the main zooplanktonic taxa, only Hexarthra avoids deep layers. An exceptionally high concentration of Copepoda nauplii on the surface was influenced by low transparency, high concentration of phytoplankton at this layer and low oxygen concentration at the bottom. In periods of higher retention timevariability there was a more heterogeneous distribution of the zooplankton in the water column. The increase in the retention time seems also to favor the copepod development. Finally, some inter-decade changes are considered on the basis of zooplankton assemblage structure observations.
