The effect of ultrasonic treatment on the microstructure of Sn-30 wt.% Bi alloy was studied at different temperatures. Results showed that the ultrasonic treatment could effectively refine the microstructure of Sn-30 wt.% Bi alloy at a temperature range between the liquidus and solidus. Application of the ultrasound could fragment the primary Sn dendrites during solidification due to a mixed effect of ultrasonic cavitation and acoustic streaming. The divorced eutectic formed when the ultrasonic treatment was applied for the whole duration of the solidification. The eutectic phase grew and surrounded the primary Sn dendrite, and pure Bi phase grew in between the Sn dendritic fragments. The mechanism of the fragmentation of dendrites and the divorced eutectic structure by ultrasonic treatment was discussed.

AbstractThe effect of ultrasonic treatment on the solidification structure of Fe-36Ni invar alloy was investigated. The experiment results showed that the ultrasonic treatment before its solidification had no significant effect on the solidification structure. However, when ultrasonic was inputted into the molten alloy during its solidification process, the primary dendrites were broken up into lots of fragments and solidification structure was refined significantly. When ultrasonic treatment was applied in the melt doped with yttrium before its solidification, ultrasonic cavitation could break up precipitates into many small ones, which could refine its solidification structure as nucleation cores. In samples containing yttrium treated by ultrasonic at 1753 K, the number of the precipitates was 623/mm2 and its average size was 2.18 µm; while at 1803 K, they were 604/mm2 and 2.34 µm respectively. The ultrasonic cavitation had a similar effect at two different temperatures. The solidification structure refined greatly at 1753 K was due to its low pouring temperature.

In this paper, We use a novel principle to detect acceleration and report how I-V characteristics and piezoresistance coefficient of AlGaN/GaN HEFT-micro-accelerometer are affected by setting different temperatures. It is shown that saturation current of device would go down if the temperature goes up, which is about 0.028mA/°C, based on the research. However, the device can work well at the temperature range of -50°C to 50°C, which indicates that it can work safely in the larger temperature range.

Headspace technique and gas chromatography method with mas detector has been used for the determination of volatile organic compounds (VOC) emitted from various building and finishing materials, such as sealing foams, mounting strips, paints, varnishes, floor coverings. The tests were carried out for different temperatures (in the temperature range of 60 to 180 °C) and the time of heated vials with tested materials inside. These tests were conducted to verify the possibility of use this method of determination the VOC emission. Interpretation of chromatograms and mass spectra allowed to identify the type of compounds emitted from the tested materials and the optimum time and temperature for each type of material was determined. The increase in heating temperature of the samples resulted in increase the type and number of identified compounds: for four materials the increase was in the whole temperature range, for others it was from 90 °C. On the other hand, emission from mineral wool was low in whole temperature range. 30-minutes heating of the samples was sufficient to identify emitted compounds for most of tested materials. Applying a longer time, i.e. 24 hours, significantly increased the sensitivity of the method.

Silica Alumina

The cracking of cyclo pentene on silica-alumina was studied in a flow system over the temperature range 368 to 505 °C. The analysis of the products was carried out by gas-liquid chromatographic techniques and the design of the apparatus made it possible to measure the pressures of compounds of low molecular weight at a series of points along the catalyst bed. Partial analyses were made of the extremely wide range of products of high molecular weight collected at the end of the reactor for reactions at three different temperatures. The results obtained were sufficiently detailed to provide activation energies for the for­mation of a number of the products and for the decomposition of cyclo pentene and to per­mit the application of thermodynamical calculations to ascertain the source of substances such as cyclo pentane and methyl cyclo pentane. The results of the flow experiments together with a subsidiary experiment on the reactions which occurred to cyclo pentene at 68 °C on the catalyst in a static system indicated that the formation, polymerization and isomerization of the surface complexes to condensed six-membered ring systems must be extremely rapid processes in the temperature range required for the catalytic cracking of cyclo pentene. These processes probably occur through the formation of carbonium ions and consequently the formation of these ions is unlikely to be the slow step in the catalytic cracking of olefins. The rate of the cracking reaction may depend on the rate of decomposition of carbonium ions considerably larger in size than the original olefin.

Methanogenic degradation of organic matter occurs in a wide temperature range from psychrophilic to extreme thermophilic conditions. Mesophilic and thermophilic methanogenesis is relatively well investigated, but little is known about low temperature methanogenesis and psychrophilic methanogenic communities. The aim of the present work was to study methanogenesis in a wide range of temperatures with samples from sediments of deep lakes. These sediments may be considered deposits of different types of microorganisms, which are constantly exposed to low temperatures. The main question was how psychrophilic methanogenic microbial communities compare to mesophilic and thermophilic ones. Methanogenesis in a temperature range of 2–70°C was investigated using sediment samples from Baldegger lake (65 m) and Soppen lake (25 m), Switzerland. Methane production from organic matter of sediments occurred at all temperatures tested. An exponential dependence of methane production rate was found between 2 and 30°C. Methanogenesis occurred even at 70°C. At the same time stable methane production from organic matter of sediments was observed at temperatures below 10°C. Methanogenic microbial communities were enriched at different temperatures. The communities enriched at 4–8°C had the highest activity at low temperatures indicating that a specific psychrophilic community exists. Addition of substrates such as cellulose, volatile fatty acids (butyrate, propionate, acetate), methanol and H2/CO2 stimulated methane production at all temperatures. H2/CO2 as well as methanol were directly converted to methane under thermophilic conditions. At low temperatures these substrates were converted to methane by a two-step process. First acetate was formed, followed by methane production from acetate. When acetate concentrations were high, acetoclastic methanogenesis was inhibited at low temperatures. This reaction appears to be one of the “bottle neck” in psychrophilic methanogenesis.

High-temperature creep experiments were performed on a Cu-2.8 ат.% Co solid solution. Cylindrical foils of 18 micrometers thickness were used for this purpose. Creep tests were performed in a hydrogen atmosphere in the temperature range of about from 1233 K to 1343 K and at stresses lower than 0.25 MPa. For comparison, a foil of pure copper and Cu-20 at.% Ni solid solution were investigated on high temperature creep. Measurements on the Cu foil showed classical diffusional creep behavior. The activation energy of creep was defined and turned out to be equal 203 kJ/mol, which is close to the activation energy of bulk self-diffusion of copper. There was a significant increase in activation energy for the Cu-20 at.% Ni solid solution. Its activation energy was about 273 kJ/mol. The creep behavior of Cu-Co solid solution was more complicated. There were two stages of diffusional creep at different temperatures. The extremely large activation energy (about 480 kJ/mol) was determined at relatively low temperature and a small activation energy (about 105 kJ/mol) was found at high temperatures. The creep rate of Cu-Co solid solution was lower than that of pure copper at all temperatures. In addition, the free surface tension of Cu-2.8 ат.% Co was measured at different temperatures from 1242 K to 1352 K. The surface tension increases in this temperature range from 1.6 N/m to 1.75 N/m. There were no features on the temperature dependence of the surface tension.

By Monte Carlo method with EAM potentials, the specific heat of liquid Co50Fe50and Co48Fe48Th4alloys at different temperatures are obtained. The effect of Th on the thermophysical parameters is examined. Over the temperature range from 1400 to 2000 K, the specific heat decreases from to Jmol-1K-1after Th was added. It is the addition of Th element which has bigger atomic radius, larger atomic mass, and complex arrangement of extranuclear electron, leads to the reduced specific heat.

The mechanical response of the composite structure in T650-35/PMR-15 aged at different temperatures was studied numerically. The time-dependent internal stresses in the composite ply and its constituents were computed during the creep process. In order to predict the effective properties of PMR-15/T650-35 composite ply in the temperature range [250-350°, the time-dependent mechanical properties of PMR-15 matrix determined experimentally [, were considered. The mechanical properties of the fibers do not experience any change due to the aging process in such a temperature range [2, . In order to achieve the computations, the visco-elastic Eshelby Kröner self-consistent model was used.
