The TiC-Cu composites with different mass fraction were prepared by powder metallurgy method. The effect of ball milling time and sintering temperature on the morphology, relative density and electrical conductivity of TiC/Cu composites has been investigated. As-milled sintered compacts were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and conductivity measurements. The results demonstrate that under laboratory conditions with the milling time increasing grains are remarkable refined. Mechanical milling can bring about changes of lattice parameters, the grain size first decrease and then increase as milling time increasing. Relative density showed strong dependency on the milling time. The effect of the grain being refined by ball milling is helpless to improve electrical conductivity of composites. For the composites with TiC content<50wt.%, as milling time prolonging the electric conductivity decreases while for the 50%TiC-Cu the conductivity are not be impacted.

The disposal of gas emission from vehicle is the biggest contributor to the environmental pollution which generates most carbon monoxide, hydrocarbon, and lead (Pb=Plumbum). Those substance particulates are pollutants and harmful for both the environment and human life. One of the innovations that can reduce the pollutive particulates is to reduce CO gas by assembling a catalytic converter are displayed. In order to find out the effect of catalytic converter absorption toward (CO) gas particulate, varied with various materials in an environmentally friendly catalytic converter, a simulation using fluent software is carried out. From the simulation, it is seen a significant thermal condition and CO mass fraction absorption from various different materials, by applying mass fraction of CO=0.04;N2=0.8796; and O2=0.12, the decrease of high mass fraction (decrease of CO=0.004 mass fraction) occurs at the channel centre area due to the mass fraction of various materials that moves away from the center with a longer rest time (high conversion) at the surrounding channel.

AbstractA systematic, high angular-resolution study of IR-quiet Massive Dense Cores (MDCs) of Cygnus-X in continuum and high-density molecular tracers is presented. The results are compared with the quasi-static and the dynamical evolutionary scenario. We find that the fragmentation properties are not compatible with the quasi-static, monolithic collapse scenario, nor are they entirely compatible with the formation of a cluster of mostly low-mass stars. The kinematics of MDCs shows individual velocity components appearing as coherent flows, which indicate important dynamical processes at the scale of the mass reservoir around high-mass protostars.

Abstract The physical processes behind the transfer of mass from parsec-scale clumps to massive-star-forming cores remain elusive. We investigate the relation between the clump morphology and the mass fraction that ends up in its most massive core (MMC) as a function of infrared brightness, i.e. a clump evolutionary tracer. Using ALMA 12 m and ACA we surveyed 6 infrared-dark hubs in 2.9 mm continuum at ∼3″ resolution. To put our sample into context, we also re-analysed published ALMA data from a sample of 29 high mass-surface density ATLASGAL sources. We characterise the size, mass, morphology, and infrared brightness of the clumps using Herschel and Spitzer data. Within the 6 newly observed hubs, we identify 67 cores, and find that the MMCs have masses between 15–911 M⊙ within a radius of 0.018–0.156 pc. The MMC of each hub contains 3–24 per cent of the clump mass (fMMC), becoming 5–36 per cent once core masses are normalised to the median core radius. Across the 35 clumps, we find no significant difference in the median fMMC values of hub and non-hub systems, likely the consequence of a sample bias. However, we find that fMMC is ∼7.9 times larger for infrared-dark clumps compared to infrared-bright ones. This factor increases up to ∼14.5 when comparing our sample of 6 infrared-dark hubs to infrared-bright clumps. We speculate that hub-filament systems efficiently concentrate mass within their MMC early on during its evolution. As clumps evolve, they grow in mass, but such growth does not lead to the formation of more massive MMCs.

Wiebe Function

Abstract Current unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) propulsion technologies includes hydrogen fuel cells, battery systems, and internal combustion engines (ICE). However, relying on a single propulsion technology might result in a limited operational range. This can be mitigated by utilizing a hybrid configuration involving a battery pack and an ICE or a fuel cell for charging. Due to its significant weight advantage and high mass-specific energy content, hydrogen (H2) is an ideal fuel for both power plant options. However, use of H2 with an ICE requires precise operational control through combustion process simulation with the predictive approximation of the mass fraction burned profile. In this area, the relatively simple single-Wiebe function is widely deployed for a variety of different fuels, as well as combustion regimes. In general, the description of the single-Wiebe function includes the extent of complete combustion (a), magnitude of the maximum burn rate (m), and combustion duration (θd). However, the literature often provides values for these parameters without necessarily relating them to operational characteristics that can influence ICE power. As a result, it is critical to correlate the burn rate of the fuel to ICE operating parameters, such as the engine compression ratio, inlet pressure, mean piston speed, exhaust gas recirculation level, equivalence ratio, and spark timing. Therefore, in an attempt to physically define these parameters, this effort performs a sensitivity analysis using linear regression (least squares method) to assess the impact of engine operating conditions on the Wiebe function in comparison to experimental data for port-fuel injected hydrogen ICEs. The result is a model that can estimate the values of a, m, and θd in combination with a relatively high coefficient of determination (R2) when compared to the experimental mass fraction burned profiles. Finally, others can expand this methodology to any experimental data for engine and fuel-specific Wiebe parameter determination.

Evolution Modeling

The surface C/N abundance ratios of many cluster and field G and K giants following the 1st dredge-up phase are much lower than predicted from standard stellar evolution modeling. The occurrence of substantial mass loss, either during or immediately after the main-sequence phase would both reduce the mass fraction of the unprocessed envelope necessary to contaminate with CN-cycle products, as well as allow CN-processing of a greater amount of core material during the earlier high-mass phase. Willson, Bowen and Struck-Marcell (1987) have proposed that a combination of pulsation and rapid rotation could drive substantial mass loss in main-sequence stars of initial mass 1-3 MΘ. We evolved a grid of 16 mass-losing models from the zero-age main sequence through 1st dredge-up. The models have initial masses of 1.25, 1.5, 1.75 and 2.0 MΘ, and exponentially decreasing mass-loss rates with e-folding times 0.2, 0.4, 1.0 and 2.0 Gyr; all models evolve toward a final mass of 1.0 M". Since the mass-loss epoch is short-lived, most of the models reach 1.0 M0 rapidly, and follow the evolutionary track of a standard 1 MΘ model redward away from the main sequence and up the 1st giant branch. The convecuve envelope deepens during 1st dredge-up to homogenize the outer 3/4 of the star's final mass.

Lignocellulosic materials are abundant in nature, rich in some functional groups, considered less harmful to human health and the environment.The resulting waste may be recycled for other beneficial uses. Lignin is known to be a natural binder in lignocellulosic materials and several studies have confirmed it has binding ability with soil particles. This paper studied its stabilising potential in compressed lateritic bricks, especially its effects on density and compressive strength properties of the bricks. Lignin additives extracted from sawdust were used to stabilise laterite, while the bricks were moulded with the UNIFE ram, a type of the CINVA ram. The laterite was stabilised at 4%, 8% and 12%, while cement stabilised samples and 0% (unstabilised laterite) samples prepared accordingly were used as controls. The results showed that the LBAs contributed to the strength gained by the bricks at 3, 7, 14 and 28 days air curing, while the bricks samples were categorised as high density.
