Hardness and strength values of over 55 copper alloys strengthened by solid solution strengthening, precipitation hardening, cold working, and dispersion strengthening were compiled. The yield strength (YS) and ultimate tensile strength (UTS) values of the copper alloys examined ranged between 50 to 1300 MPa and 200 to 1400 MPa, respectively. The compiled values were classified based on strain-hardening potential an indirect method to understand the effect of strain-hardening characteristics. Least squares regression analysis was employed to establish correlations between strength and Vickers hardness values. Strain-hardening potential showed a significant effect on the correlations. In all the cases, a linear relation was obtained for both YS and UTS with hardness for the entire range of values under analysis. Simple empirical equations were proposed to estimate the strength using bulk hardness. The proposed correlations obtained for the entire range of values were verified with experimental values. A good agreement was observed between experimental and predicted values.

This paper makes use of the Ramberg-Osgood stress-strain relationship to evaluate the springback angle for wire products. Natural strain is present in the analysis. In order to incorporate the natural strain expression into the equations, a least-squares polynomial approximation is developed primarily to transform the Ramberg-Osgood equation. Results are compared with experimental values for various radii and angle of bends using several copper alloys with different strain hardening characteristics.

ABSTRACT An improved method for the assay of plasma progesterone by competitive protein binding is described. The improvement is based upon rigorous control of the variables, the compensation for and standardisation of interfering factors inherent in the method and the use of a human corticosteroid binding globulin, that meets the requirements for sensitivity at levels of 1.0 ng of progesterone and below. The assessment of the reliability of the individual steps in the method as well as that of the complete method is presented. The sensitivity of the method is around 0.2 ng progesterone per ml plasma. Accuracy was measured by adding progesterone in amounts ranging from 0.0 to 1.0 ng to 1.0 ml plasma. There was a linear relationship between the progesterone added and recovered throughout the entire range of values, with a coefficient of correlation (r) of 0.94. Of 52 related steroids tested, none was found which would remain associated with progesterone following extraction and purification and which would also compete with progesterone for binding sites.

Due to the technological importance that the extrusion process represents in the application of fast food, the objective of this work was to apply pregelatinized rice and sorghum flours in the development of an instant preparation soup and to evaluate its centesimal, technological, and their sensorial analysis. Ten formulations of the instant soup were prepared from the mixtures experimental design. According to the experimental results, it can be stated that the predicted values corroborated with the experimental values, that is, a mixture was obtained for the instant soup with the characteristics of water absorption, water solubility, color, luminosity and viscosity close to the predicted by the models. After the physical and chemical analysis, the microbiological characterization of the best formulation defined by the desirability test was used, which demonstrated that the product is suitable to microbiological standards. The results obtained showed that the 80:10:10 instant soup formulation of pregelatinized rice flour, pregelatinized sorghum flour and potato starch allowed the experimental development of a new product with good nutritional characteristics benefits. It was obtained a food with good technological characteristics solubility and absorption in water, good viscosity, light color and with good sensory acceptance by the tasters.

Strength, hardness, and ductility characteristics were determined for a series of palladium-copper alloys that compositionally vary from 5 to 25 weight percent copper. Alloy specimens subjected to vacuum annealing showed clear evidence of solid solution strengthening. These specimens showed, as a function of increasing copper content, increased yield strength, ultimate strength, and Vickers microhardness, while their ductility was little affected by compositional differences. Annealed alloy specimens subsequently subjected to exposure to hydrogen at 323 K and PH2 = 1 atm showed evidence of hydrogen embrittlement up to a composition of ~15 wt. % Cu. The magnitude of the hydrogen embrittlement decreased with increasing copper content in the alloy.

ABSTRACTThe theory of collective electron ferromagnetism given by Stoner applies to a system of electrons in a single energy band; for iron, cobalt and nickel this is identified with the band of states derived from atomic 3d functions. To bring in the generally assumed overlapping of the 3d band by the wide 4s band in these metals, the theory has been extended to take account of the transfer of electrons from 3d to 4s states with change of temperature. A previous calculation of this transfer effect must be regarded as inadequate, for the part played by the exchange energy in determining the distribution of electrons between the two sets of states was omitted. The general equations are derived in § 2 and used as a basis for discussion of the properties of nickel-copper alloys at absolute zero in § 3. In §§4 and 5 numerical results are presented which show the effect of the overlapping 4s band on the magnetic properties of a system such as nickel both above and below its Curie point. Comparison with the measured paramagnetic susceptibility of pure nickel above the Curie point strongly suggests that for this metal the overlapping 4s band has only a minor influence, although in principle the effect could be very large (cf. Fig. 4). This result is not unambiguous, however, because values thus inferred for the two unknown parameters lead to inaccurate predictions below the Curie point. First, the predicted values for the spontaneous magnetization are too small. Secondly, the theory demands that the nickel-copper alloys should only be ferromagnetic below a copper content of about 20 %, whereas experimentally the limit is known to be about 60 %. In conclusion, it is suggested that the implicit assumption of Stoner's theory that the exchange integrals between all pairs of 3d states are equal to one another is a more serious restriction on the theory than the consideration of only a single energy band.

The Seebeck coefficient (S) of Sni1-x- Tex liquid alloys was measured as a function of concentration and temperature. For 0 ≦ x <0.45 the behaviour is metallic; S values are small and negative, rising linearly with temperature. The predicted values of Ziman's theory when using the hard sphere approximation disagree with the experimental ones. The change in sign occurs for 0.45. For x = 0.5 (stoichiometric composition) the thermoelectric power decreases linearly with temperature. This fact is explained assuming a two-band model. For x ≧ 0.6 the liquid alloy becomes more semiconducting and presents a maximum in the isotherms of S for x = 0.65. For the excess tellurium concentration range we have calculated the difference EF - EV and γ/kB, assuming a S(1/T) law. The experimental values are compared with those of Dancy and Glazov.

A new model to predict the structure evolution of 30Cr2Ni4MoV steel is proposed based on the dislocation density in this research. Hot compression of 30Cr2Ni4MoV steel is carried out on Gleeble 1500 at different temperatures from 1233 K to 1473 K with a strain rate of 0.01 s-1 and the deformed samples are immediately quenched by water to frozen the austenite structure. The recrystallization kinetics model of 30Cr2Ni4MoV steel is successfully established by inverse analysis of the flow curve based on the relation between flow stress and dislocation density. In order to validate the proposed model, comparison between the predicted values and experimental values obtained by metallographic analysis is implemented. It is shown that the predicted results agree with the experimental results well.

A theoretical model is developed for prediction of the condensation coefficient on horizontal integral-fin tubes for both high and low surface tension fluids. The model includes the effects of surface tension on film drainage and on condensate retention between the fins. First, the fraction of the tube circumference that is flooded with condensate is calculated. Typically, the condensation coefficient in the flooded region is negligible compared to that of the unflooded region. Then the condensation coefficient on the unflooded portion is calculated, assuming that surface tension force drains the condensate from the fins. The model is used to predict the R-11 condensation coefficient on horizontal, integral-fin tubes having 748, 1024, and 1378 fpm. The predicted values are within ±20 percent of the experimental values.

Photocatalytic degradation of Direct Blue 15 (DB15), an azo dye, was studied using a swirl-flow monolithic reactor under UV irradiation. The degradation reactions were carried out to investigate effects of initial dye concentration, catalyst loading, and light intensity at an optimal pH. The experiments were designed and mathematically modelled by CCD-RSM (central composite design-response surface methodology) approach. It was found that the selected parameters significantly affect DB15 degradation. In terms of the linear term, catalyst loading and light intensity had a synergistic effect, while dye concentration registered the opposite effect. Strong interaction was observed between catalyst loading and both light intensity and initial dye concentration compared with the interaction of light intensity and initial dye concentration. Based on the experimental results, a quadratic model was developed to predict the percentage removal of DB15. The predicted values of the model were in good agreement with the experimental values (R2 = 0.987), indicating the model fits well for the parameter space for which experiments were performed. According to diagnostic plots, the model credibility was valid because its residuals were distributed normally and exhibited a random pattern based on their examination versus the predicted values. The results revealed that the initial dye concentration and catalyst concentration have a significant effect on the mineralization time.

Coagulation-flocculation is the most important parts of water treatment process. Traditionally, optimum pre coagulant dosage is determined by used jar tests in laboratory. However; jar tests are time-consuming, expensive, and less adaptive to changes in raw water quality in real time. Soft computing can be used to overcome these limitations. In this paper, multi-objective evolutionary Pareto optimal design of GMDH Type-Neural Network has been used for modeling and predicting of optimum poly electrolyte dosage in Rasht WTP, Guilan, Iran, using Input - output data sets. In this way, multi-objective uniform-diversity genetic algorithms (MUGA) are then used for Pareto optimization of GMDH networks. In order to achieve this modeling, the experimental data were divided into train and test sections. The predicted values were compared with those of experimental values in order to estimate the performance of the GMDH network. Also, Multi Objective Genetic Algorithms (MOGA) are then used for optimization of influence parameters in pre coagulant (Poly electrolyte) dosage.
