In this paper we report on the development tungsten oxide based chemiresistive sensors for the monitoring of oxygen at low temperatures (T ≤ 400 °C) in dry and humid air. The sensors were deposited onto alumina substrate by a combination of spin coating and a photolithographic process to define the sensing area. Our results show that the sensors comply with a linear relationship over a 0 to 20% concentration range, with a high response towards oxygen. The highest response was observed at 350 °C (ΔR/Ra = 7.8) in humid and in dry air (ΔR/Ra = 18). This result is a significant improvement over our previous experiments and we believe to take the concept of a metal-oxide based oxygen sensor a step closer.

Abstract Vapor-deposition is being used increasingly for fabricating complex shapes from tungsten. In contrast to conventional tungsten whose oxidation kinetics have been well explored, vapor-deposited material has never been investigated systematically with regard to oxidation. Oxidation rates were run at 600–1000 C (1112–1832 F) in air using a recording balance. Activation energies were calculated and oxidation rates were compared to those of sheet tungsten prepared using powder metallurgy techniques. Humid air and dry air were compared as corroding media.

Tracheobronchial blood flow increases with cold air hyperventilation in the dog. The present study was designed to determine whether the cooling or the drying of the airway mucosa was the principal stimulus for this response. Six anesthetized dogs (group 1) were subjected to four periods of eucapnic hyperventilation for 30 min with warm humid air [100% relative humidity (rh)], cold dry air (-12 degrees C, 0% rh), warm humid air, and warm dry air (43 degrees C, 0% rh). Five minutes before the end of each period of hyperventilation, tracheal and central airway blood flow was determined using four differently labeled 15-micron diam radioactive microspheres. We studied another three dogs (group 2) in which 15- and 50-micron microspheres were injected simultaneously to determine whether there were any arteriovenous communications in the bronchovasculature greater than 15 micron diam. After the last measurements had been made, all dogs were killed, and the lungs, including the trachea, were excised and blood flow to the trachea, left lung bronchi, and parenchyma was calculated. Warm dry air hyperventilation produced a consistently greater increase in tracheobronchial blood flow (P less than 0.01) than cold dry air hyperventilation, despite the fact that there was a smaller fall (6 degrees C) in tracheal tissue temperature during warm dry air hyperventilation than during cold dry air hyperventilation (11 degrees C), suggesting that drying may be a more important stimulus than cold for increasing airway blood flow. In group 2, the 15-micron microspheres accurately reflected the distribution of airway blood flow but did not always give reliable measurements of parenchymal blood flow.

Tracheobronchial blood flow increases two to five times in response to cold and warm dry air hyperventilation in anesthetized tracheostomized dogs. In this series of experiments we have attempted to attenuate this increase by blockade of the autonomic nervous system. Four groups of anesthetized, tracheostomized, open-chest dogs were studied. Group 1 (n = 5) were hyperventilated for 30 min with 1) warm humid [approximately 26 degrees C, 100% relative humidity, (rh)] air followed by bilateral vagotomy, 2) warm humid air, 3) cold (-22 degrees C, 0% rh) dry air, and 4) warm humid air. Groups 2, 3, and 4 (n = 3/group) were hyperventilated for 30 min with 1) warm humid (approximately 41 degrees C, 100% rh) air, 2) warm dry (approximately 41 degrees C) air, 3) warm humid air, and 4) warm dry air. Group 2 were controls. Group 3 were given phentolamine, 0.6 mg/kg intravenously, as an alpha-blockade, and group 4 were given propranolol, 1 mg/kg, as a beta-blockade after warm dry air hyperventilation (period 2). Five minutes before the end of each 30-min period of hyperventilation, measurements of vascular pressures, cardiac output, arterial blood gases, and inspired, body, and tracheal temperatures were measured, and differently labeled radioactive microspheres were injected into the left atrium to make separate measurements of airway blood flow. After the last measurements had been made animals were killed and their lungs were excised. Blood flow to the airways and lung parenchyma was calculated.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Indefinite chill (IC) roll and high speed steel (HSS) materials have been widely employed to manufacture work rolls as latter and former stands in hot rolling mills. The oxidation of work rolls is of importance for the surface quality of the rolled workpieces. The isothermal oxidation of the IC and HSS materials was conducted at 650 °C and 700 °C in both dry air and humid air. The isothermal oxidation curves indicate that HSS shows faster kinetics than the IC materials in dry air, whereas the opposite occurred in humid air. The oxide scales of the IC materials after the oxidation in both dry air and humid air are made up of two oxide phases. Two oxide phases were found when the HSS oxidized in the dry air and three oxide phases were found when oxidized in the humid air.

AbstractDithizone is an extracting agent largely used for metallurgical processes and has been found in waste waters. Its degradation is studied by exposing basic solutions to a gliding arc discharge burning in various gases (i.e., humid and dry air, humid air and tert-butanol) to underline the role of the formed °OH radicals and H

Effects of a metal oxide structure on the oxygen sensing properties are investigated. In the existence of the etched V-groove gallium oxide geometry, its electrical and sensing properties, i.e., high sensitivity and response time areinvestigated. Grain sizes of the material are dependent on different sputtering conditions and investigated by AFM. Under the partial-voltage circuit measurement, it can be confirmed that the increase of temperature will result in the increase of resistance for the Ga2O3 oxygen sensor. From experiment, good stability and repeatability of the oxide sensor are demonstrated when tested under oxygen concentration. These properties show that the oxide structure has a good potential for high sensitivity oxygen sensor.
