This paper reports the synthesis of hydroxyheptadecyl-substituted-1,3,4-thiadiazoles and mercapto-1,2,4-triazoles and the evaluation of extreme pressure activity of their admixtures (0.5% and 1% w/ v) with a paraffinic oil in a four-ball test. Alloy steel bearing balls of 12.7 mm diameter were used as test specimens. All the additives exhibited good activity in reducing wear and increasing the values of mean Hertz load (MHL) and flash temperature parameter (FTP) as compared to the base fluid. The presence of p-methoxy- and p-chloro- groups in the thiadiazole and mercapto triazole rings has been found to enhance the activity of these additives. Scanning Auger Electron Spectroscopy surface studies were conducted to analyse the additive-metal interaction. 相似文献
In this study, a β solidification procedure was used to align the lamellae in a Ti-47Al-2W (at.%) alloy parallel to the growth
direction. The Bridgman technique and the floating zone process were used for directional solidification. The mechanical properties
of the directionally solidified alloy were evaluated in tension at room temperature and at 800°C. At a growth rate of 30 mm/h
(with the floating zone approach), the lamellae were well aligned parallel to the growth direction. The aligned lamellae yielded
excellent room temperature tensile ductility. The tensile yield strength at 800°C was similar to that at room temperature.
The orientation of the γ lamellar laths in the directionally solidified ingots, which were manufactured by means of a floating
zone process, was identified with the aid of electron backscattered diffraction analysis. On the basis of this analysis, the
preferred growth direction of the bcc-β dendrites that formed at high temperatures close to the melting point was inferred
to be [001]β at a growth rate of 30 mm/h and [111]β at a growth rate of 90 mm/h. 相似文献
Gallium nitride (GaN) epilayers have been grown by chloride vapour phase epitaxy (Cl-VPE) technique and the grown GaN layers were irradiated with 100 MeV Ni ions at the fluences of 5 × 1012 and 2 × 1013 ions/cm2. The pristine and 100 MeV Ni ions irradiated GaN samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-visible transmittance spectrum, photoluminescence (PL) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) analysis. XRD results indicate the presence of gallium oxide phases after Ni ion irradiation, increase in the FWHM and decrease in the intensity of the GaN (0 0 0 2) peak with increasing ion fluences. The UV-visible transmittance spectrum and PL measurements show decrease in the band gap value after irradiation. AFM images show the nanocluster formation upon irradiation and the roughness value of GaN increases with increasing ion fluences. 相似文献
Exposure buildup factors for some polymers such as poly-acrylo-nitrile (PAN), poly-methyl-acrylate (PMA), poly-vinyl-chloride (PVC), synthetic rubber (SR), tetra-fluro-ethylene (Teflon) have been computed using the G.P. fitting method in the energy range of 0.015–15.0 MeV, up to the penetration of 40 mean free paths (mfp). The variation of exposure buildup factors for all the selected polymers with incident photon energy at the fixed penetration depths has been studied, mainly emphasizing on chemical composition (equivalent atomic number) of the selected polymers. It has been observed that for the lower penetration depths (below 10 mfp), the exposure buildup factor decreases with the increase in equivalent atomic number of the selected polymers at all the incident photon energies. However, at the penetration depth of 10 mfp and incident photon energy above 3 MeV, the exposure buildup factor becomes almost independent of the equivalent atomic number of the selected polymers. Further, above the fixed penetration depth of 15 mfp of the selected polymers and above the incident photon energy of 3 MeV, reversal in the trend has been observed, i.e., the exposure buildup factor increases with the increase in equivalent atomic number. 相似文献
Radiation processing is the utilization of ionizing radiation, usually photons or electron beams, to produce useful physical and chemical changes in a material. A potential application for electron beam processing for composite manufacturing is for curing carbon fiber prepregs. These prepregs, carbon fibers or fabrics preimpregnated with liquid polymer resin, are commonly used in the aircraft industry. Their use, however, can be time consuming and labor intensive. The advantages of radiation curing over thermal or chemical curing methods include improved rate control, reduced curing times, and curing at ambient temperature. There is no need for chemical initiators. A radiation-curable prepreg has been designed to meet the mechanical and physical property specifications of a leading aircraft manufacturing company. The resin is a mixture of an expoxy diacrylate, polybutadiene diacrylate, and a multifunctional monomer. This resin was used to impregnate a plain weave carbon fabric, at a loading of 35 percent (by mass), using a solvent process. Preliminary characterization studies show that the cured polymer produced by irradiation in air to a dose of 40 kGy is amorphous with a maximum gel fraction of 85 percent. The softening point of the polymer varied from 228°C (30-kGy sample) to 237°C (50-kGy sample). The linear thermal expansion coefficient of the polymer was 1.7 × 10−4 m/m°C from 25°C to 150°C and was unaffected by varying the applied dose from 30 to 50 kGy. 相似文献
In the Na-U-Mo-O system, five compounds with composition Na2UMo2O10, Na2U2Mo2O13, Na2U2Mo3O16, Na2UMo4O16 and Na2U2Mo4O19 were prepared by solid state reaction of Na2MoO4, UO3 and MoO3 in the required stoichiometric ratio. The compounds were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, infrared and thermal analysis techniques. The XRD data of all the above-mentioned compounds were indexed on the orthorhombic system. All the compounds showed thermal stability up to 600 °C in air and decomposed at 950 °C to form Na2U2O7. Infrared spectra of all the compounds show strong spectral bands in the range 700-950 cm−1 due to tetrahedra and the group. A pseudo-ternary phase diagram of Na2O-UO3-MoO3 was drawn using the quaternary compounds and information available on Na-U-O, Mo-U-O and Na-Mo-O ternary systems. The various phase fields prepared during this work were established by XRD analysis. 相似文献
A two-unit standby system is considered under excess time stochastic behaviour, i.e. the failure and repair time of the on line (off line) unit is exceeding some prespecified value. Whenever an operating unit crosses a prespecified operation time, it is sent to preventive maintenance and when repair of a failed unit crosses a prespecified time, the unit is rejected and replaced by a new unit. Using the regeneration point technique, certain characteristics of the system are derived and the cost of the system is calculated. Particular cases of the system are also considered. 相似文献
The energy consumption in the workspace envelope around operators was studied for lifting and lowering tasks. The entire working space was bisected into two identical halves. Within one, 81 target locations were selected. Six male young adults (mean age 27.3 years and mean weight 73.8 kg) stoop lifted and lowered 2.5, 5.0, and 10.0 kg loads from floor to their respective knee, hip, and shoulder heights in mid-sagittal, 30° lateral, and 60° lateral planes at half, three-quarters, and full reach distances. The steady state oxygen uptake was measured for quiet standing and the 81 activities. The energy expenditure and inspiratory ventilation volume was subjected to analysis of variance and post hoc analysis. The ANOVA revealed a significant effect of the task reach distance, level of lift and the magnitude of weight (p < 0.001). The plane of activity had no significant effect on metabolic cost. The increased reach of the task required 11–41% more energy and the increased load required 28–100% more energy. A high multiple correlation (r = 0.86, p < 0.001) was achieved for the energy cost of lifting/lowering. 相似文献
Back break is an unsolicited phenomenon caused due to rock condition, blast geometry, explosive and initiation system in mines. It does not help in creating a smooth high wall and free face for next blasting due to cracks, overhang and under-hang. It can cause rockfall during drilling due to the cracks present in the in situ rock mass at the perimeter. Due to improper free face created from the previous blast and the presence of loose strata in the face increases the overall cost of production. Therefore, predicting and subsequently optimising back break shall reduce their problems to some extent. In this paper, an attempt is made to predict back break using the random forest method. The variables used for the study was such as burden to spacing ratio, stemming to hole-depth ratio, p-wave velocity and the density of explosive. For the random forest model, R2 0.9791 and RMSE 0.87899 and for linear regression was R2 was 0.824 and root mean square error (RMSE) 0.72, respectively. From the field trials, it was evident that the use of low-density emulsion can help in reducing the back break and optimise the overall cost of the blasting process. The same results were validated using Random forest method wherein the model R2 was 0.9791 and RMSE was 0.8799.
The 1H and 13C n.m.r analysis of the sediments derived from visbroken short residues (150°C+) obtained at different severity levels is reported. The nature of sediments and structural changes during visbreaking and on storage at ambient conditions are related to the processing characteristics of the residual fuel oils. The possible relationship between storage stability and processing conditions is also discussed. 相似文献
