Study of A Phenomenon STT (Spin Transfer Torque) on the Material La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 Shaped Nanowire Using Micromagnetic Simulation

STT (Spin Transfer Torque) can be referred to as a process of manipulation and control of spin current in the field of spintronics. When the material is ferromagnetic nanowire La0.7Sr0.3MnO3injected currents will move the domain wall with accompanying changes of spin currents. In mikromagnetik simulation shows that the application is capable of producing flow velocity or pressure of domain wall in the direction of electron flow. The domain wall pressure generating magnetization changes with increasing current density occurs. To that end, the simulation research was done in order to obtain the effect of the injection of electric current to the magnetization of the material. This phenomenon is simulated by modeling the material into the 3D geometry. The greater the current density is given the domain wall velocity or pressure on the nanowire faster so that the magnetization process is also faster. Changes in the velocity of the fastest domain wall is obtained when the material is injected with a current density as well as M-t get a graph showing oscillation pattern that is denser when the current is increased. Furthermore, the total energy analysis with variations in size diameter of 10 nm, 20 nm and 30 nm. The results show that with increasing diameter, total energy tends to increase.

Catalytic Indirectly Heated Gasification of Bagasse

The catalytic indirectly heated gasification of bagasse was investigated in this study. The quality of the gaseous fuel was assessed using the total energy analysis of the gas, in which both heat content and total yields of the gas produced from the gasification of bagasse are analyzed at temperatures ranging from 700 to 1000°C. Untreated bagasse gasification was used as a baseline for the investigation of the effect of catalysts on the gasification process. The total energy analysis showed a significant improvement of gas quality due to increase of temperature and due to the use of alumina-zinc based catalysts at temperatures below 900°C. The presence of these catalysts in the gasification process affected the quality of the gases formed, mainly by increasing the hydrogen production, reduction of the gas dilution by carbon dioxide and a slightly higher production of carbon monoxide. Above 900°C, temperature dominates the gasification reaction mechanisms causing the catalysts to have little or no significant effect. Thermal cracking of tar is of major importance on the gasification process, as the tar yields reduce from 42.1 to 24.7% of the bagasse original weight with the increase of the gasifier temperature from 700 to 1000°C. However, the solid residue reduced only from 16 to 13.3%. Hence, the increase in the gaseous yields at high temperature appeared to be due to the gasification of tar with some contribution from secondary reactions involving char. The result was the production of a medium heat content gaseous fuel.
