The cold-compressed AZ31 magnesium alloys with different (2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, 10%, 12.5% and 15%) were annealed at different temperatures (573, 623 and 673K) for different time. With aid of the optical microscopy, and microhardness tester, the microstructural evolution during annealing at different temperature of the compressed AZ31 has been investigated. The microstructural characterized results were further related to the hardness test results and the calculated activation energy. The results showed that for the compressed AZ31, the recrystallization can occur on the samples with the strain just above 10% and the deformation twinning plays an important role on the nucleation and grain growth of the recrystallization. It was found that the twinning boundary was the location of the recrystallization nuclei and a lot of recrystallized grains with equiaxed shape were found along the twinning boundaries. The relationships among the nuclei orientations and the crystallographic orientations on both sides of the twining boundary have been statistically investigated. The effects of the compressed strain and the annealing temperature on annealing behavior were also discussed based on the experimental results.

The property and microstructure of pure Al prepared by the cryogenic ECAP after annealing at different temperatures and times with and without the application of 12T high magnetic field were investigated by hardness test and optical microscopy observation. The results show that with the application of high magnetic field, the hardness of cryo-ECAPed pure Al is lower than that of material annealing without high magnetic field. The high magnetic field accelerates crystallization of cryo-ECAPed pure Al during annealing.

Abstract The decomposition stages of spruce wood sawdust were analyzed by means of sequential differential calorimetry. Two stages of decomposition were identified and activation energy of one stage was calculated using the Kissinger method. The DTA was conducted by means of SEDEX safety calorimeter. Sample was analyzed under three heating rates of 10, 20 and 45 °C/h in temperature range from room temperature to 400 °C. The calculated activation energy for the last and most clear decomposition peak was 122.63 KJ/mol. The results are comparable with the data calculated by J.V. Rissanen et al., who calculated activation energy for Spruce hemicellulose as 120 KJ/mol.

SummaryDetails are given of the method used in this laboratory for the preparation of k-casein. The recovery is about 25% and the material has a purity, estimated from electrophoretic patterns, of about 90% with β-casein as the main contaminant. Higher temperatures and lower ion concentration caused precipitation of k-casein in the presence of calcium ions, 0·1m-acetate buffer at pH 6·5 being sufficient to stabilize a 0·5% solution in the presence of 0·01–0·2m-CaCl2 at 20 and 30°C but not at all calcium concentrations at 40°C. It was also found that solutions of para-k-casein did not aggregate in the presence of concentrations of electrolytes above about 0·25m.The rate of release of non-protein nitrogen and decline in viscosity during the enzymic stage of gel formation in solutions of k-casein and rennin had similar apparent first order constants (0·087 ± 0·03 min—1 and 0·086 ± 0·021 min—1, respectively, at 25°C). A gel could be formed by rennin action in a solution containing as little as 6·25mg of the protein per litre. In the non-enzymic stage of gelling of k-casein solutions the calculated activation energy over the range of 20–40°C was much lower than that obtained from the non-enzymic stage of milk coagulation.

Abstract Thermal degradations of biomass corn leaves were studied for kinetic modeling. Thermogravimetric-differential analyzer runs at 5, 10, 20, and 30 °C min−1 heating rates were employed. Apparent activation energy and frequency factor values were calculated for first-order kinetics using several procedures. The procedure of Coats and Redfern showed 28.89 to 31.78 kJ mol−1 apparent activation energy and 15.5 to 157.12 min−1 frequency factor, respectively. Calculation of the apparent activation energy and frequency factor using Kissinger–Akahira–Sunose procedure gave 229.9–364.2 kJ/mol and 8.567 × 1023 and 1.13 × 1031 (min−1), respectively as the conversion increased from 0.1 to 0.9. The newly introduced excel solver procedure indicates a distribution activation energy over the entire range of conversion. For first-order reaction kinetics, the calculated apparent activation energy magnitudes ranged between 5.0 kJ mol−1 with frequency factor equals to 0.239 and 196.2 kJ mol−1 with frequency factor 2.89 × 1012 in the studied range. The low or high magnitudes of the calculated activation energy are not associated with a particular value of the conversion. The calculated apparent activation energies are related to the direct solution of the simultaneous equations that constitute the basis of the excel solver.


The need for studying the flow behavior of the treated juice in the three main parts of the process (After mixing, after Pasteurization and after cooling) is essential in predicting the pumping power requirement. In the present paper, the rheological properties of mango juice are determined at the end of three steps in the production line: First, after the mixing step, second after homogenization and finally after cooling. The following properties determined, Brix concentration, Acidity of solution, and the rheological properties. Mixed juice showed Bingham behavior with values of yield stress decreasing with increased temperature. The activation energy was determined to equal about 24 kJ.mol-1 . Samples collected after the homogenization step exhibited shear thinning behavior with an almost constant flow index of 0.525. The activation energy was determined as 10.93 kJ.mol-1 . The juice samples collected from that step exhibited a mild thixotropic behavior. The results of the third step involving cooling of the homogenized juice revealed that the liquid reverted to Bingham behavior with values of consistency index decreasing with increased temperatures. The calculated activation energy equals 11.22 kJ.mol-1 .

The ICECAP methodology is used to derive interionic potentials of some cation and anion impurities in MgO, namely, Li+, Na+, K+, Be2+, H−, S2−, and O2−. Analysis is given of the defect energies obtained by using the derived impurity potentials. Based on the available experimental data, comparison is made to justify the reliability of the derived impurity potential for Be2+. The calculated activation energy for Be2+ diffusion comes out to be 1.54 eV as compared to the experimental value of 1.60 eV, which is considered to be very satisfactory.

The new glassesof glass system x Li 2 O-50 V 2 O 5 -(50-x) P 2 O 5 were prepared by using conventional melt quenching method. The densities of these glasses have been measured by Archimedes method and corresponding molar volumes have also been calculated. The conductivity of these glasses was measured as a function of temperature and composition. The variations of conductivity versus temperature follow Arrehenius type relationship. Conductivity decreases with increasing Li 2 O content and increase with increasing temperature. The calculated activation energy decreases up to 15mol% of Li 2 O, it increases from 15mol% to 30 mol% of Li 2 O and again it suddenly drops at 40 mol% of Li 2 O. This may be due to structural changes in glass network and these glasses exhibit both electronic and ionic conductivity.

This article uses the thermal analysis to study the kinetics characteristics of Polyurethane foam. The partially oxidized and non oxidized materials were used to study the variation of reaction of the smoldering, and the mechanism of function and activation energy of two substances was obtained. The result show that the oxygenolysis of the non oxidized Polyurethane foam belongs to the second-level chemical reaction, while the oxygenolysis of partially oxidized belongs to the first-level chemical reaction; the oxidization reaction of Polyurethane foam is a process which have lots of reaction steps to mutual promote as well as connection with each steps ; Through the smoldering experiment verify that the response characteristics of the two substances under the same heat flux to a certain extent, and the results agree well with the calculated activation energy.
