Modeling the kinetics of atomic ordering in high temperature intermetallics

2003-05-01
Canonical ensemble Monte Carlo study was performed for the analysis of ordering characteristics of the high temperature X(3)Al (X=Fe and Ni)-based ordered intermetallics. Calculated partial ordering energies by means of the electronic theory of alloys in pseudopotential approximation were utilized as input data to determine the Hamiltonian of the system. Bragg-Williams long-range order (LRO) and Cowley-Warren short-range order (SRO) parameters were calculated from the equilibrium configurations attained at the end of Monte Carlo simulation for each predefined temperature and Al concentration levels of X(3)Al intermetallics. It was shown that the current predictions agree well with the experimental values of LRO and SRO parameters, indicating that the systems have transformed into perfect ordered superlattices by forming a single domain in the lattice structures. It seems that this present approach on the combination of Monte Carlo simulation methods with the electronic theory of alloys in pseudopotential approximation can be successfully applied to elucidate the ordering characteristics of high temperature Fe(3)Al and Ni(3)Al intermetallics.

Numerical investigation of coupled heat and mass transfer inside the adsorbent bed of an adsorption cooling unit
Solmus, Ismail; Rees, D. Andrew S.; Yamali, Cemil; Baker, Derek Keıth; KAFTANOĞLU, BİLGİN (2012-05-01)
In this study, the influence of several design parameters on the transient distributions of temperature, pressure and amount adsorbed in the radial direction of a cylindrical adsorbent bed of an adsorption cooling unit using silica gel/water have been investigated numerically. For this purpose, a transient one-dimensional local thermal non-equilibrium model that accounts for both internal and external mass transfer resistances has been developed using the local volume averaging method. For the conditions in...
Investigation of electrical characteristics of Ag/ZnO/Si sandwich structure
Gullu, H. H.; Surucu, O. Bayrakli; Terlemezoğlu, Makbule; Yildiz, D. E.; Parlak, Mehmet (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-08-01)
In this study, temperature-dependent current-voltage (I-V), frequency-dependent capacitance-voltage (C-V) and conductance-voltage (G/omega-V) measurements are carried out for the electrical characterization of a zinc oxide (ZnO) thin film-based diode. The sandwich structure in the form of Ag/ZnO/Si/Al is investigated at temperatures between 220 and 360 K and in the frequency region of 1 kHz-1 MHz. ZnO thin film layer is deposited on a p-Si wafer substrate as a transparent conductive oxide layer by taking in...
Comparison of method of lines and finite difference solutions of 2-D Navier-Stokes equations for transient laminar pipe flow
Selçuk, Nevin; Tanrikulu, S (2002-03-10)
Performances of method of lines (MOL) and finite difference method (FDM) were tested from the viewpoints of solution accuracy and central processing unit (CPU) time by applying them to the solution of time-dependent 2-D Navier-Stokes equations for transient laminar flow without/with sudden expansion and comparing their results with steady-state numerical predictions and measurements previously reported in the literature. Predictions of both methods were obtained on the same computer by using the same order ...

Nesrullajev, A; Salihoglu, S; Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 1998-01-01)
This work presents our investigations of mezomorphic properties of two polymorphic liquid crystals, namely, 4-nonyloxy-4-butoxyphenyl benzoate and N-(-4-heptyloxybenzylidene-4-butylaniline) in a wide temperature range, particularly, in the phase transition regions. By means of an original Experimental method. the heterophase regions and also the phase transition temperatures have been determined for these materials with high accuracy. These phase transition intervals have been analyzed using a mean field mo...
