An analytical expression for prediction of the effective dielectric constant of a three phase 0-3-0 ferroelectric composite is presented. The analytical results are verified with the experimental results from Nan et al [1]. We extend the analytical model, so that the influence of the shape of the third phase inclusion, on the effective dielectric constant of the composite, can be investigated. The results indicate that the dielectric constant increases ∼7 times, when the aspect ratio of the conductive inclusion is increased from 1 (sphere) to 10 (spheroid). The analytical predictions compare favorably with the experimental values.

The third phase formed in the process of extracting vanadium in a N235/HCl system was usually regarded as a limit to the throughput of the plant. To have a deep insight on this problem, the formation of the third phase in the extraction of vanadium by tertiary amine N235 in the concentrated HCl system was studied. The optimum parameters of three-phase system extraction were determined, and FTIR analysis was carried out to characterize the structure of extracted complexes and analyze the mechanism of formation and elimination of the third phase. The results showed that vanadium extraction efficiency was 86.5% with 20% v/v N235 and a phase ratio (O:A) of 1:2 in 2 min at 25 °C, though an obvious third phase was found within the experimental HCl concentration range. Cl− is the participant in the process of increasing the vanadium extraction efficiency, whereas H+ has an inhibitory effect on vanadium extraction. Meanwhile, the structure of the extracted complex was confirmed as (R3N)m(HCl)m+x·([Formula: see text])·(H2O)n through a solvation mechanism with molecular association, which was further proved by FTIR spectral analysis. Furthermore, the limited solubility of the ion-extracted complexes in the nonpolar solvent kerosene made the third-phase form. The third phase disappeared when phase modifier (about 5% v/v TBP) was added into the organic phase, as the polarity of the organic phase increased.

Two-phase materials are commonly used in engineering application because of its various properties like strength, thermal conductivity, durability and toughness etc. Effective thermal conductivity (ETC) of two-phase material is the fundamental property to predict its thermal performance. Various geometry (spheres, cylinders, irregular particles) have been considered by researchers for calculating ETC of two-phase materials. Due to complex structure, hollow circular cylinder geometry is not reported yet. In this paper, two-dimensional periodic two-phase system, with hollow circular cylinder shape is considered for calculating ETC. In present work unit cell approach method is used to derive collocated parameters model for estimation of ETC. Hollow circular cylinder model with Ψ = 0.2 gives good result for estimating ETC with average percentage error of 6.46%.

The aim of the present paper is to determine the effective thermal conductivity of three-phase soils, made of a quasi-spherical solid grain, and surrounded by two phase, which can be water and air or water and ice. The effective thermal conductivity is obtained theoretically by integrating the conduction equation under the thermal distribution of parallel heat fluxes in steady-state. The effective thermal conductivity is evaluated at a given degree of porosity (ratio between the void volume and the total one) and different degrees of saturation (ratio between the water volume and the void one) from dryness up to saturation. Comparisons between experimental data and theoretical predictions confirm that the present model can predict the effective thermal conductivity with a fairly good agreement without using any empirical constant.
