Metallic Interconnector

This study is intended to reduce the difference of thermal expansion coefficient between metallic interconnector and solid electrolyte of SOFC (Solid Oxide Fuel Cell) without sacrificing of electrical conductivity. Fe-Cr alloys have been chosen as candidate materials due to its merit of low cost and high temperature oxidation resistance. Different amount of alloys element and compositions have been varied to optimize the properties by method of alloys design with aid of thermodynamics software Thermal-Cal. Phase diagrams of multi-components alloys have been drawn to predict the possible stable phases formed in the investigated metals. An arc melter and plasma melting furnace were used to melt the investigated alloys. The measurements of thermal expansion coefficients and electrical conductivities are carried out with TMA and ASR resistance instrument. The results indicate that the Fe-10Cr alloy exhibits the smallest thermal expansion coefficient among the alloys, while Fe-16Cr has a lowest electrical resistance .

A new method is used in measuring the linear thermal expansion coefficients in composite consisting of a substrate Gd3Ga2Ga3O12 (GGG) and its epitaxial layer Y3Fe2Fe3O12 (YIG) within the temperature range 13.88 °C–32.50 °C. The results show that the thermal expansion coefficient of GGG in composite is larger than that of the GGG in single crystal; the thermal expansion coefficient of thick film YIG is also larger than that of thin film. The results also show that the thermal expansion coefficient of a composite consisting of film and its substrate can be measured by using a new method.

In this paper, a device with high accuracy capacitive sensor (with the error of 0.1 micrometer) is constructed to measure the axial thermal expansion coefficent of the twisted carbon fibers and yarns of Kevlar. A theoretical model based on the thermal elasticity and the geometrical features of the twisted structure is also presented to predict the axial expansion coefficient. It is found that the twist angle, diameter and pitch have remarkable influences on the axial thermal expansion coefficients of the twisted carbon fibers and Kevlar strands, and the calculated results are in good agreement with experimental data. We found that, with the increase of the twist angle, the absolute value of the axial thermal expansion coefficient increases. For the Kevlar samples, the expansion coefficient will grow by about 46% when the twist angle increases from 0 to 25 degrees, while the carbon fiber samples will grow by about 72% when the twist angle increases from 0 to 35 degrees. The experimental measurements and the model calculations reveal important properties of the thermal expansion in the twisted structures. Most notably, the expansion of the strand during heating or cooling can be zero when the twist angle is around β = arcsin(αL/αT)^1/2, where β denotes twist angle of the strand and αL, αT are the longitute and the transverse thermal expansion coefficient of the strand, respectively. According to the present experiments and analyses, a method to control the axial thermal expansion coefficient of this new kind of twisted structure is proposed. Moreover, the mechanism of this tunable thermal expansion is discussed. Based on the model, a method that can be used to rectify the thermal expansion properties of the twist structures is established. This may be a new way of fabricating zero expansion composite materials in the future.

The Debye–Scherrer pattern of the alloy Ni80Zr20 clearly shows the presence of a nickel solid-solution phase along with a new intermetallic phase Ni23Zr6, which seems to be isostructural with the Co23Zr6 phase. The thermal expansion coefficient of the Ni23Zr6 phase has been investigated in the temperature range 1003–1493 K. Linear variation of lattice parameter with temperature has been observed. The thermal expansion coefficient remains almost constant throughout this temperature interval.

Mismatch Effect

A design and simulation of a fully CMOS compatible micromachined multilayer cantilevers-based environmental thermometer are presented. The operation principle of the structure is depending on the mismatch effect of thermal expansion coefficient and the piezoresistive effect of polysilicon in CMOS process. Upon temperature variation, the deformation of the multilayer cantilever resulted from the large thermal expansion coefficient mismatch of different materials can be sensed and translated to an electrical voltage output by using a symmetric piezoresistive Wheatstone bridge. The mechanical characteristics of the device are analyzed with the extension of bi-layer Timoshenko model and the output of the read-out circuit is also simulated. The calculation and simulation show that the device with bi-direction deformation may have wide temperature range from -100 to 100°C and sensitivity about 0.15mV/°C, which fit the demand of radiosonde for environmental temperature measurement. This sensor may also have other favorable features, such as micro size, low-cost due to its working principle and compatibility with commercial CMOS process.

AbstractThe thermal expansion coefficient is an important thermal parameter that influences the performance of nanodevices based on two-dimensional materials. To obtain the thermal expansion coefficient of few-layer MoS2, suspended MoS2 and supported MoS2 were systematically investigated using Raman spectroscopy in the temperature range from 77 to 557 K. The temperature-dependent evolution of the Raman frequency shift for suspended MoS2 exhibited prominent differences from that for supported MoS2, obviously demonstrating the effect due to the thermal expansion coefficient mismatch between MoS2 and the substrate. The intrinsic thermal expansion coefficients of MoS2 with different numbers of layers were calculated. Interestingly, negative thermal expansion coefficients were obtained below 175 K, which was attributed to the bending vibrations in the MoS2 layer during cooling. Our results demonstrate that Raman spectroscopy is a feasible tool for investigating the thermal properties of few-layer MoS2 and will provide useful information for its further application in photoelectronic devices.

<p align="justify">A utilização de óleos vegetais residuais como fonte de energia alternativa vem ganhando espaço investigativo no Brasil, principalmente na produção de biocombustíveis e de misturas combustíveis com óleo diesel. O presente trabalho teve por objetivo estimar o coeficiente de expansão térmica de misturas de óleo diesel (OD) e óleo de soja residual (OSR) a partir da modelagem matemática de dados da massa específica em função da temperatura. As misturas estudadas foram: mistura 1 (25% OSR + 75% OD), mistura 2 (50% OSR + 50% OD) e mistura 3 (75% OSR + 25% OD). O intervalo de temperatura considerado foi de 25 a 90ºC. Para a estimativa do coeficiente de expansão térmica foi realizada uma análise de regressão linear. Os valores do coeficiente de expansão térmica encontrados foram 7,7508 x 10-4ºC-1 (para a mistura 1), 8,3355 x 10-4ºC-1 (para a mistura 2) e 8,2249 x 10-4ºC-1(para a mistura 3). Nas análises de regressão linear, os coeficientes de correlação foram próximos da unidade, indicando que para cada mistura a correlação é classificada como muito forte. A ausência na literatura de valores do coeficiente de expansão térmica para misturas OD + OSR dificultou a comparação com os valores encontrados.</p><p align="justify">Abstract</p><p align="justify">The use of residual vegetable oils as an alternative energy source is gaining momentum investigative in Brazil, mainly in the production of biofuels and blends with Diesel oil. This study aimed to estimative the thermal expansion coefficient of mixtures of Diesel oil (DO) and residual soybean oil (RSO) from the mathematical modeling of data of specific weight as a function of temperature. The mixture 1 (25% RSO + 75% DO), mixture 2 (50% RSO + 50% DO) and mixture 3 (75% RSO + 25% DO) were studied. The temperature range considered was 25 to 90ºC. A linear regression analysis was performed to estimative the values of the thermal expansion coefficient. The thermal expansion coefficients were 7.7508 x 10-4 ºC-1 (for the mixture 1), 8.3355 x 10-4 ºC-1 (for the mixture 2) and 8.2249 x 10-4 ºC-1 (for the mixture 3). In linear regression analysis, the correlation coefficients were close to unity, indicating that the correlation for each mixture is classified as very strong. The absence in the literature of the thermal expansion coefficients of the mixtures DO + RSO made it difficult the comparing with the values found.</p>
