The compatibility of SRI-3 polyisoprene rubber with plasticizing additives based on recycled petrochemical raw materials (DVCH, DVCH with modifying additive (MA) in the amount of 0.5; 1.0; 2.5; 5.0 and 10.0% mas.) in comparison with industrial petroleum oils (PO-6 and I-20). The compatibility of polymer with a plasticizer additive was evaluated by of experimental data using the equilibrium swelling method. As a result, the polimer-plasticizer interaction parameter (Huggins parameter) and the diffusion coefficient of plasticizing components in the polymer volume were determined. Analysis of the experimental data showed that the plasticizer component based on recycled petrochemical raw materials DVCH has better compatibility with the elastomer matrix SRI-3 compared to industrial oils PO-6 and I-20. Was established that the use of modifying additives in the amount of 0.5 and 1.0% mas. leads to an increase in the diffusion coefficient and a decrease in the Huggins parameter in comparison with DVCH in individual form It indicates their better compatibility with rubber SRI-3. Was shown that a further increase in the content of modifying additive (more than 1.0% mas.) in the volume of plasticizing component DVCH is impractical. This leads to a deterioration of the parameters, and, as a result, to a worse compatibility with the elastomer.

The possibility of using a non-magnetic fraction of a detonation charge with a diamond fraction from the disposal of ammunition to modify the restoration coatings of a natural product – clay and secondary raw materials — was studied. Four different coating variants were investigated. For this, a T-620 electrode was used with its additional modification by coating with bentonite clay, as well as with a non-magnetic fraction of the detonation charge and applying it in the form of a slip coating on the cutting surface of the cultivator. It is shown that the use of such additives allows to increase the resistance of the working tool of agricultural machines, reduces its tendency to damage due to the minimum penetration of the thin-walled product of the hoe blade and a decrease in the cross section of the transition layer and the level of stress. Each modifier makes changes to increase the microhardness to varying degrees. An increase in microhardness is observed on the surface of the coating and its gradual decrease to the transition layer. The surface coating with the additional introduction of bentonite clay in a liquid bath has the highest microhardness. Its microhardness varies from HV-50-1009.7 to HV-50-615.2. Similarly, the effect of the modifying additive of the detonation charge, the microhardness varies from HV-50-969.6 to HV-50-633.26. When clay or a mixture is introduced into the restoration coating, the wear resistance increases by 1.3 - 2 times with respect to the deposited surfacing only by the electrode and by 2 - 3 times to the initial material of the cultivator. It was found that the lowest coefficient is characteristic for dry friction, as well as for hydroabrasive, for samples with additional modification with clay or a detonation charge

Under coastal or marine conditions, chloride erosion is the major accelerating factor of reinforcement corrosion. Therefore, it is of vital importance to investigate the chloride diffusion model. Research reveals that the concrete stress state has great influence on chloride diffusion; therefore a stress influence coefficient was incorporated in chloride diffusion coefficient model by many researchers. By referring to the experimental data from eight different researchers, the law between stress influence coefficient and concrete stress ratio is studied in detail, and equations relating the stress influence coefficient with the concrete stress ratio are established. Compared with three typical existing groups of equations, it is found that the proposed equations give the most accurate estim.ation of the stress influence coefficient. Hence, the proposed equations can be adopted to improve the valuation of chloride diffusion coefficient, and a modified chloride diffusion model is put forward. Three groups of experimental data are used to validate the modified chloride diffusion model, which is shown to be reasonable and having high prediction accuracy.

Rate-based models suitable for equipment or transport-reaction modeling require a capability for predicting transport coefficients over a sufficient range of temperature and pressure. This paper demonstrates a relatively simple novel approach to correlate and estimate transport coefficients for pure components over the entire fluid region.The use of Chapman-Enskog transport coefficients for reducing self-diffusion coefficient and viscosity to dimensionless form results in relatively simple mathematical relationships between component dimensionless transport coefficients and residual entropy over the entire fluid region. Dimensionless self-diffusion coefficients and viscosities were calculated from extensive molecular dynamics simulation data and experimental data on argon, methane, ethylene, ethane, propane, and n-decane. These dimensionless transport coefficients were plotted against dimensionless residual entropy calculated from highly accurate reference equations of state.Based on experimental data, the new scaling model introduced here shows promise as: (1) an equation of state-based transport coefficient correlation over the entire fluid region (liquid, gas, and critical fluid), (2) a component transport coefficient correlation for testing transport data consistency, and (3) a component transport coefficient correlation for interpolation and extrapolation of self-diffusion coefficient and viscosity.

This chapter challenges traditional views on Iron Age dress. Recent research has greatly enhanced our understanding of how textiles were manufactured in Iron Age Europe. The variety of qualities, textures, techniques, raw materials, colours, and cuts give insights into the detailed knowledge of the craftspeople involved. Textiles used for dress, blankets, or furniture fittings were appreciated not only for their appearance, but also for the quality of the work. In everyday life, their optical qualities were used to express and signal gender, social roles and status, while the labour expended on textiles found in wealthy burials underlines both the status of the deceased and the extent of conspicuous consumption in funerary rituals—for instance, for wrapping grave furniture and goods. The chapter also looks at experimental data showing how labour-intensive textile production was, and the types of clothing and accessories found in different archaeological contexts or depicted in visual representations.

A theoretical model is developed for the movement of loose sediments in oscillatory flow with or without a net current. In the present formulation the model is two-dimensional, but may readily be extended to three dimensions. It is assumed that all movement of sediments occurs in suspension, and exact analytical solutions are given for the time variation of the concentration profile, the instantaneous sediment flux and the net flux of sediment over a wave period. The model requires as empirical input a diffusion coefficient e and pick-up function p(t), for which experimental data are presented. Two examples are discussed in detail, illustrating important aspects of the onshore-offshore sediment motion.

Noni seeds have been used for years as an important medicinal source, with wide use in the pharmaceutical and food industry. Drying is a fundamental process in the post-harvest stages, where it enables the safe storage of the product. Therefore, the present study aimed to fit different mathematical models to experimental data of drying kinetics of noni seeds, determine the effective diffusion coefficient and obtain the activation energy for the process during drying under different conditions of air temperature. The experiment used noni seeds with initial moisture content of 0.46 (decimal, d.b.) and dehydrated up to equilibrium moisture content. Drying was conducted under different controlled conditions of temperature, 40; 50; 60; 70 and 80 ºC and relative humidity, 24.4; 16.0; 9.9; 5.7 and 3.3%, respectively. Eleven mathematical models were fitted to the experimental data. The parameters to evaluate the fitting of the mathematical models were mean relative error (P), mean estimated error (SE), coefficient of determination (R2), Chi-square test (c2), Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) and Schwarz’s Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC). Considering the fitting criteria, the model Two Terms was selected to describe the drying kinetics of noni seeds. Effective diffusion coefficient ranged from 8.70 to 23.71 × 10-10 m2 s-1 and its relationship with drying temperature can be described by the Arrhenius equation. The activation energy for noni seeds drying was 24.20 kJ mol-1 for the studied temperature range.

An expression is proposed that relates the transport properties of polar substances (diffusion coefficient, viscosity coefficient, and thermal conductivity coefficient) with entropy. To calculate the entropy, an equation of state with a good description of the properties in a wide region of the state is used. Comparison of calculations based on the proposed expressions with experimental data showed good agreement. A deviation exceeding 20% is observed only in the region near the critical point as well as at high pressures.

The exchange characteristics of a highly soluble gas with the pulmonary airways during a single-exhalation maneuver were analyzed using a mathematical model previously described by our group (M. E. Tsu et al. Ann. Biomed. Eng. 16: 547–571, 1988). The model integrates the simultaneous exchange of water, heat, and a soluble gas with the pulmonary airways. The purpose of this paper is to provide experimental data for model validation. Exhaled ethyl alcohol concentration profiles of human subjects were measured with an Intoxilyzer 5000 and were plotted against exhaled volume measured with a wedge spirometer. Each subject performed a series of breathing maneuvers in which exhalation flow rate was the only variable. Phase III has a positive slope (0.047 +/- 0.0089 mol alcohol in air.mol alcohol in alveolus-1.l-1) that is statistically independent (P > 0.05) of flow rate. Reducing the molecular diffusion coefficient of alcohol in the nonperfused tissue layer improves the fit of the model to the experimental data. The optimal diffusion coefficient of alcohol for all subjects was 12 +/- 5.3 (SD) x 10(-7) cm2/s, which is 8% of the diffusion coefficient of alcohol in water (1.6 x 10(-5) cm2/s). We concluded that the experimental data showing a positive slope of the exhaled alcohol profile are consistent with a reduced diffusivity of alcohol in the respiratory mucosa. The reduced diffusion coefficient enhances reabsorption of alcohol by the airways on exhalation and creates a positive phase III slope.

The study is focused on the water diffusion phenomenon through the Raffiaviniferafibre from the stem. The knowledge on the behavior of those fibres in presence of liquid during the realization of biocomposite, is necessary. The parameters like percentage of water gain at the point of saturation, modelling of the kinetic of water absorption, and the effective diffusion coefficient were the main objectives. Along a stem of raffia, twelve zones of sampling were defined. From Fick’s 2nd law of diffusion, a new model was proposed and evaluated compared to four other models at a constant temperature of 23°C. From the proposed model, the effective diffusion coefficient was deduced. The percentage of water gain was in the range of 303–662%. The proposed model fitted better to the experimental data. The estimated diffusion coefficient was evaluated during the initial phase and at the final phase. In any cross section located along the stem of Raffiavinifera, it was found that the effective diffusion coefficient increases from the periphery to the centre during the initial and final phases.

Transport of solutes through diffusion is an important metabolic mechanism for the avascular cartilage tissue. Three types of interconnected physical phenomena, namely mechanical, electrical, and chemical, are all involved in the physics of transport in cartilage. In this study, we use a carefully designed experimental-computational setup to separate the effects of mechanical and chemical factors from those of electrical charges. Axial diffusion of a neutral solute (Iodixanol) into cartilage was monitored using calibrated microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) images for up to 48 hr. A biphasic-solute computational model was fitted to the experimental data to determine the diffusion coefficients of cartilage. Cartilage was modeled either using one single diffusion coefficient (single-zone model) or using three diffusion coefficients corresponding to superficial, middle, and deep cartilage zones (multizone model). It was observed that the single-zone model cannot capture the entire concentration-time curve and under-predicts the near-equilibrium concentration values, whereas the multizone model could very well match the experimental data. The diffusion coefficient of the superficial zone was found to be at least one order of magnitude larger than that of the middle zone. Since neutral solutes were used, glycosaminoglycan (GAG) content cannot be the primary reason behind such large differences between the diffusion coefficients of the different cartilage zones. It is therefore concluded that other features of the different cartilage zones such as water content and the organization (orientation) of collagen fibers may be enough to cause large differences in diffusion coefficients through the cartilage thickness.
