Rheo-kinetic behaviour of an epoxy resin, coupled with an aliphatic polyamines hardener, used in fibre reinforced plastics, was analysed comparing experimental data to theoretical models. Then the modelling of technological filament winding process for thermoset matrix composites, developed through a numerical code realized with MATLAB, is reported. The model includes winding and curing phase decoupling the manufacturing process into sub-models. Four sub-models are used: fibre motion, thermal, kinetic and rheological model. Considerable differences are obtained in process condition, using several thermal treatments. The numerical modelling helps to detect the process conditions to optimise the filament winding process.

Resistivity temperature – dependence and residual resistivity concentration-dependence in pure noble metals(Cu, Ag, Au) have been studied at low temperatures. Dominations of electron – dislocation and impurity, electron-electron, and electron-phonon scattering were analyzed, contribution of these mechanisms to resistivity were discussed, taking into consideration existing theoretical models and available experimental data, where some new results and ideas were investigated.

CNDO/2 calculations for simple models of adsorption and dehydration reactions of secondary aliphatic and aromatic alcohols on polar catalysts are presented. The models involve selected stages of elimination mechanisms of various types (E1, E2 and E1cB elimination). Calculated quantum chemical quantities were correlated with reported experimental data. It is shown that reactivities for the series of substituted phenylethanols correlate very well with the ease of carbonium ion formation. In the case of aliphatic alcohols, calculated quantities correlate generally with the reactivities on SiO2 and are in anticorrelation with the reactivities on Al2O3.NaOH.

There are almost 9500 biogas plants in Germany, which are predominantly operated with energy crops and residues from livestock husbandry over the last two decades. In the future, biogas plants must be enabled to use a much broader range of input materials in a flexible and demand-oriented manner. Hence, the microbial communities will be exposed to frequently varying process conditions, while an overall stable process must be ensured. To accompany this transition, there is the need to better understand how biogas microbiomes respond to management measures and how these responses affect the process efficiency. Therefore, 67 microbiomes originating from 49 agricultural, full-scale biogas plants were taxonomically investigated by 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing. These microbiomes were separated into three distinct clusters and one group of outliers, which are characterized by a specific distribution of 253 indicative taxa and their relative abundances. These indicative taxa seem to be adapted to specific process conditions which result from a different biogas plant operation. Based on these results, it seems to be possible to deduce/assess the general process condition of a biogas digester based solely on the microbiome structure, in particular on the distribution of specific indicative taxa, and without knowing the corresponding operational and chemical process parameters. Perspectively, this could allow the development of detection systems and advanced process models considering the microbial diversity.

It is well known that the presence of entrained air bubbles in hydraulic oil can significantly reduce the effective bulk modulus of hydraulic oil. The effective bulk modulus of a mixture of oil and air as pressure changes is considerably different than when the oil and air are not mixed. Theoretical models have been proposed in the literature to simulate the pressure sensitivity of the effective bulk modulus of this mixture. However, limited amounts of experimental data are available to prove the validity of the models under various operating conditions. The major factors that affect pressure sensitivity of the effective bulk modulus of the mixture are the amount of air bubbles, their size and the distribution, and rate of compression of the mixture. An experimental apparatus was designed to investigate the effect of these variables on the effective bulk modulus of the mixture. The experimental results were compared with existing theoretical models, and it was found that the theoretical models only matched the experimental data under specific conditions. The purpose of this paper is to specify the conditions in which the current theoretical models can be used to represent the real behavior of the pressure sensitivity of the effective bulk modulus of the mixture. Additionally, a new theoretical model is proposed for situations where the current models fail to truly represent the experimental data.
