The analysis of a new class of measuring instrument for heat quantities based on the use of multi-valued measures of heat conductivity of solids. For example, measuring thermal conductivity of solids shown the fallacy of the proposed approach and the illegality of the use of the principle of ambiguity to intensive thermal quantities. As a proof of the error of the approach, the relations for the thermal conductivities of the component elements of a heat pump that implements a multi-valued measure of thermal conductivity are given, and the limiting cases are considered. In two ways, it is established that the thermal conductivity of the specified measure does not depend on the value of the supplied heat flow. It is shown that the declared accuracy of the thermal conductivity measurement method does not correspond to the actual achievable accuracy values and the standard for the unit of surface heat flux density GET 172-2016. The estimation of the currently achievable accuracy of measuring the thermal conductivity of solids is given. The directions of further research and possible solutions to the problem are given.

AbstractUndoped microcrystalline silicon samples deposited in the transition regime between amorphous and microcrystalline growth have been investigated by dark conductivity measurement and Raman spectroscopy. From the latter, a semi-quantitative crystalline volume fraction Xc of the sample was deduced and correlated with dark conductivity data in order to reveal possible percolation controlled transport. No threshold was observed around the critical crystalline fraction value Xc of 33%, as reported previously, but a threshold in conductivity data was found at Xc≈50%. This threshold is interpreted here speculatively as being the result of postoxidation, and not constituting an actual percolation threshold.

Ultrafiltration of three laboratory made silica and two commercial silica sols was studied using Amicon YC membrane in a 200 ml capacity batch-cell. The effect of silica particle size, stirring conditions, pressure, pH and silica contents on ultrafiltration was investigated. The results obtained indicate that the smaller particles have, disregarding the stirring conditions, lower filtration flux. The differences observed in filtration flux are more pronounced in the conditions without stirring. The obtained value of the membrane resistance is independent of the conditions investigated (stirring, pressure, pH, silica contents and particle size). The values of the resistance of polarized solids, specific resistance, and the mass of gel per membrane surface unit were calculated for all experimental conditions.

Honey is one of the oldest sweetening foods and has economic importance, making this product attractive to adulteration with cheap sugars. This can cause a critical problem in the honey industry and a possible health risk. The present work has the aim of evaluating the authenticity of honey commercialized in two different provinces of Ecuador (Pichincha and Loja) by performing physicochemical and spectroscopic analyses. For this study 25 samples were collected from different places and markets and characterized by water, sucrose, reducing sugars and electric conductivity measurement. Also, their Raman and Infrared (IR) spectra were recorded and analysed using a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) in order to verify the quality of the honeys. In addition, a screening of several pesticides was performed in order to verify possible chemical threats to human health and honey bees. It was found that 8 samples have a deviation from the Standard established parameters. Two of them have a high difference in the content of sucrose and reducing sugars, which are located deviated from all the other samples in the PCA of the applied vibrational spectroscopy (IR/Raman), shaping two clear clusters. The results show that Raman and IR spectroscopy is appropriate techniques for the quality control of honey and correlates well with the physicochemical analyses.
