The equation of state, the expressions of lattice parameter and thermal expansion coefficient in general form are obtained by the statistical moment method. Applying to Cu , Al and Ni metals, we determine these properties in simple analytic form for each metal. Numerical results for the thermal expansion coefficient of these metals in different temperatures and pressures are in good agreement with experiments.

A simple theoretical model is developed to study the effect of size and temperature on the coefficient of thermal expansion and lattice parameter of nanomaterials. We have studied the size dependence of thermal expansion coefficient of Pb , Ag and Zn in different shape viz. spherical, nanowire and nanofilm. A good agreement between theory and available experimental data confirmed the model predictions. We have used these results to study the temperature dependence of lattice parameter for different size and also included the results of bulk materials. The temperature dependence of lattice parameter of Zn nanowire and Ag nanowire are found to present a good agreement with the experimental data. We have also computed the temperature and size dependence of lattice parameter of Se and Pb for different shape viz. spherical, nanowire and nanofilm. The results are discussed in the light of recent research on nanomaterials.

AbstractThe surface regions of α-alumina and hot pressed silicon nitride were modified by suitable alloying in order to improve their wear resistance. The surface modification in polycrystalline α-alumina was done by diffusing chromia into the surface region which resulted in the formation of a thin layer of A12O3 - Cr9O3 solid solution which has a lower thermal expansion coefficient than pure α-alumina. Also Cr2O3 has a larger lattice parameter than α-alumina thus during cooling the surface was put into compression. The surface region of hot pressed silicon nitride was modified by diffusing α-alumina into the surface which resulted in the formation of a thin sialon layer. A surface compressive stress was again introduced due to the lower thermal expansion coefficient and larger latticeparameter of sialon compared to silicon nitride.Wear tests were conducted against 52100 steel under both lubricated and unlubricated sliding contact using a block on ring apparatus. The wear resistance of chromia surface alloyed α-alumina was improved considerably over unalloyed α-alumina under both lubricated and unlubricated conditions. The wear resistance of alumina surface alloyed silicon nitride was also improved over unalloyed silicon nitride under both lubricated and unlubricated conditions.Different wear modes were identified by examining the worn surfaces under the scanning electron microscope.

Abstract The present paper studies through numerical methods, the thermodynamic heat transfer characteristics of free convection flow of supercritical nitrogen over a vertical cylinder. In the present analysis, the values of volumetric thermal expansion coefficient ($\beta$) are evaluated based on Redlich-Kwong equation of state (RK-EOS) and Van der Waals equation of state (VW-EOS). The calculated analytical thermal expansion coefficient values using RK-EOS are very close to NIST data values in comparison with VW-EOS. A set of coupled nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) governing the supercritical fluid (SCF) flow are derived, converted into non-dimensional form with the help of suitable dimensionless quantities and solved using Crank-Nicolson implicit finite difference method. The simulations are carried out for nitrogen in the supercritical region. The obtained numerical data is expressed in terms of graphs and tables for various values of physical parameters. The increasing value of reduced temperature decreases the average Nusselt number and skin-friction coefficient, whereas amplifying value of reduced pressure enhance the heat transfer rate and wall shear stress in the SCF region. Present results are compared with the previous results and the two are found to be in good agreement, i. e. the numerically generated results found to be in agreement with existing results.

Abstract The density, thermal expansion coefficient, and thermal pressure coefficient for polyisobutylene of mol wt 40,000 have been accurately determined from 0 to 150°. Results are compared with the reduced equation of state employed in the theory of solutions. The characteristic parameters v*, T*, and p* required for the treatment of polyisobutylene solutions are obtained from the experimental results.

Anharmonic effective potential, Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS) and its parameters of hcp crystals have been theoretically and experimentally studied. Analytical expressions for the anharmonic effective potential, effective local force constant, three first cumulants, a novel anharmonic factor, thermal expansion coefficient and anhamonic contributions to EXAFS amplitude and phase have been derived. This anharmonic theory is applied to analyze the EXAFS of Zn and Cd at 77 K and 300 K, measured at HASYLAB (DESY, Germany). Numerical results are found to be in good agreement with experiment, where unnegligible anharmonic effects have been shown in the considered theoretical and experimental quantities.

The Debye–Scherrer pattern of the alloy Ni80Zr20 clearly shows the presence of a nickel solid-solution phase along with a new intermetallic phase Ni23Zr6, which seems to be isostructural with the Co23Zr6 phase. The thermal expansion coefficient of the Ni23Zr6 phase has been investigated in the temperature range 1003–1493 K. Linear variation of lattice parameter with temperature has been observed. The thermal expansion coefficient remains almost constant throughout this temperature interval.
