The fractural behavior of composites was characterized by linear elastic fracture mechanics according to standard of ASTM-D5045 in which three-point bending test procedure was used to investigate plane-strain fracture toughness (Kıc) and strain energy release rate (Gıc) of the composite specimens. Glass transient temperatures of the samples were evaluated by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Fracture surfaces of the produced specimens were examined by SEM. The highest Young’s modulus value was 10.48 GPa for the sample produced with 37 μm particle size and 60 wt. % filler content and it was found that a considerable increase was obtained according to the 3.05 MPa values of the unfilled epoxy. Experimental results show that fracture toughness value of the silica filled epoxy composite was improved by 98% compared to unfilled epoxy.","PeriodicalId":12983,"journal":{"name":"High Temperatures-high Pressures","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69442781","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Coal/biomass co-gasification in supercritical water (SCW) is a better choice for both coal and biomass to offset their disadvantages. Therefore, based on the experimental results of coal/carboxymethylcellulose (CMC, as a model compound of biomass) co-gasification in SCW by continuous flow thermal-catalytic reaction system at a reactor wall temperature of 650 �C, pressure of 25 MPa, a residence time 30 s and 0.1 wt% NaOH additive, the effects of heat transfer efficiency, heat supply methods, and CMC fraction on exergy and energy efficiency of reactor (the core device in reaction system) were investigated. The results show that energy and exergy efficiencies are in excess of 69% and 43%, respectively. The priority order of heat supply for the reactor is as follow: lower temperature heat source > higher temperature heat source > direct electricity heat supply method. The heat transfer efficiency has great influence on the energy and exergy efficiencies in terms of thermophysics. The higher CMC fraction is helpful to improve exergy efficiency.","PeriodicalId":12983,"journal":{"name":"High Temperatures-high Pressures","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69442539","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is found that phonon dispersion curve of ScSi has no virtual frequency within a given pressure range from 0 GPa to 35 GPa, indicating that the material is thermodynamically stable. When a given pressure is larger than 40 GPa, ScSi is thermodynamically instable and will occurs phase transition. Band structure and density of states confirm that ScSi is metallic. The elastic constant Cij increases with increasing pressure, and meets the Born�s criterion, which shows that ScSi possesses mechanical stability. Meanwhile, the ductility and toughness of material increase with increasing pressure, which is very conducive to industrial applications. In addition, Debye temperature and sound velocity increase linearly with pressures, indicating that appropriate pressure can improve elasticity, hardness, melting point and specific heat.","PeriodicalId":12983,"journal":{"name":"High Temperatures-high Pressures","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69442610","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this context, the study of transport phenomena at the nano- and micro-scales aims far beyond the plain miniaturization of devices, being mainly directed towards process efficiency improvement and lower energy and raw materials consumption. The analysis of heat and mass transfer at such scales has required the development or extension of both theoretical and experimental methodologies. In light of the inherent multiscale nature of microfluidic devices, classical fully numerical methodologies often require large refined meshes with associated costly computations. A hybrid numerical-analytical approach for the analysis of microfluidic and thermal micro-systems is here reviewed, which includes a computational-analytical integral transform method for partial differential direct problems, that, together with mixed symbolic-numerical computations, lead to robust cost-effective algorithms for micro-scale transport phenomena analysis. Examples of this hybrid approach in selected applications are then examined more closely, including micro-reactors for continuous biodiesel synthesis with multiple reactive interfaces and three-dimensional thermal micro-devices with solid-fluid thermal conjugation.","PeriodicalId":12983,"journal":{"name":"High Temperatures-high Pressures","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69442850","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is clear from the results obtained that decrease in the size of the semiconductor compound nanomaterials led to band gap expansion and this increase is significant for particle size below 5 nm.

This study aims to correct the error in the coefficient of the theoretical model developed for droplet shape prediction by Vafaei and Podowski [1]. The corrected model is also rearranged by non-dimensional numbers. The contact angle and the shape of water droplets for different volumes and surface types are predicted by the rearranged model and validated by experimental results. Contact angles have been over-estimated compared to experimental results because of measurement errors in geometrical parameters. It is found that the contact angle model is too sensitive to geometrical parameters. Moreover, the contact angle is found to be independent of the volume.","PeriodicalId":12983,"journal":{"name":"High Temperatures-high Pressures","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69442423","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
