AbstractThe most important property of cements and concretes after strength is the workability, which is controlled by the rheological characteristics of the mix. Theoretical modeling having proved complicated and in some cases mathematically untractable, cement specialists have concentrated on empirical based models for the last two decades. The major theoretical contributions to date on the properties of colloidal and concentrated suspensions are summarized and a general framework for theoretical modeling of cement viscosity is established. The empirical modeling and the experimental investigation of the rheological properties of fresh cements are reviewed and discussed. A semi-empirical model is proposed and its validity tested in the interpretation of some published experimental results.

Magnetic field assisted powder mixed electrical discharge machining (MFAPM-EDM) process is a hybrid process machining process which improves the machining characteristics and stability of process using assistive magnetic field and dielectric admixed powder. In this article, study on overcut has been performed on MFAPM-EDM machined Aluminium 6061 alloy. Discharge current, powder concentration, pulse on duration, pulse off duration, and magnetic field strength as process parameters have been varied during experimentation. Box Behnken design approach was employed for experimental design to carry out the experiments. Suitable Semi-empirical model was formulated using dimensional analysis for predicting the overcut. The empirical model developed was also compared with RSM model and was found better in predicting the response. Optimum process parameters for minimal overcut was conducted desirability function approach of RSM. Experimental results divulged discharge current as the most important parameters for overcut as compared to other process parameters on account of higher F-value. Confirmatory experiments revealed good correlation between optimum and experimental results.

In this study, a quantitative method for classifying the frost geometry is first proposed to substantiate a numerical model in predicting frost properties like density, thickness, and thermal conductivity. This method can recognize the crystal shape via linear programming of the existing map for frost morphology. By using this method, the frost conditions can be taken into account in a model to obtain the corresponding frost properties like thermal conductivity, frost thickness, and density for specific frost crystal. It is found that the developed model can predict the frost properties more accurately than the existing correlations. Specifically, the proposed model can identify the corresponding frost shape by a dimensionless temperature and the surface temperature. Moreover, by adopting the frost identification into the numerical model, the frost thickness can also be predicted satisfactorily. The proposed calculation method not only shows better predictive ability with thermal conductivities, but also gives good predictions for density and is especially accurate when the frost density is lower than 125 kg/m3. Yet, the predictive ability for frost density is improved by 24% when compared to the most accurate correlation available.

Intentional Agency

AbstractThis paper analyzes three contrasting strategies for modeling intentional agency in contemporary analytic philosophy of mind and action, and draws parallels between them and similar strategies of scientific model-construction. Gricean modeling involves identifying primitive building blocks of intentional agency, and building up from such building blocks to prototypically agential behaviors. Analogical modeling is based on picking out an exemplary type of intentional agency, which is used as a model for other agential types. Theoretical modeling involves reasoning about intentional agency in terms of some domain-general framework of lawlike regularities, which involves no detailed reference to particular building blocks or exemplars of intentional agency (although it may involve coarse-grained or heuristic reference to some of them). Given the contrasting procedural approaches that they employ and the different types of knowledge that they embody, the three strategies are argued to provide mutually complementary perspectives on intentional agency.
