Experimental results are presented on the influence of confinement (normal to heated surface) on nucleate boiling in forced flow. The forced flow conditions and confinement geometry studied are similar to those found for boiling between a primary-fluid tube and a tube-support plate in steam generators of pressurized-water-reactor nuclear power plants. Visual observations of the boiling process within the confined region (crevice) between the tube and its support plate, obtained by high-speed photography, are related to simultaneous two-dimensional temperature maps of the hot primary-fluid-tube surface. The results demonstrate the existence of three confinement-dependent boiling regimes in forced flow conditions that are similar to those found in pool boiling conditions. These regimes are shown to be associated with the Weber number.d in pool boiling conditions. These regimes are shown to be associated with the Weber number.

Transient and steady state photoelectronic analysis in TlInSe2 crystals QASRAWI, ATEF FAYEZ HASAN; Hasanlı, Nızamı (Elsevier BV, 2011-08-01) The temperature and illumination effects on the transient and steady state photoconductivities of TlInSe2 crystals have been studied. Namely, two recombination centres located at 234 and at 94 meV and one trap center located at 173 meV were determined from the temperature-dependent steady state and transient photoconductivities, respectively. The illumination dependence of photoconductivity indicated the domination of sublinear and supralinear recombination mechanisms above and below 160 K, respectively. Th...
Electrical conductivity of polypyrrole films at a temperature range of 70 K to 350 K Kaynak, A (Elsevier BV, 1998-01-01) The de conductivity of electrochemically synthesized polypyrrole films doped from light to intermediate levels with p-toluene sulfonic acid was measured in the temperature range of 77 to 300 K, using a modified four-probe rig. Plots of de conductivity vs. temperature were parameterized by fitting Mott's Variable Range Hopping conduction model. The localization length of localized electrons was assumed to be 3 Angstrom, which is approximately equal to the length of a pyrrole monomer. Mott parameters of polyp...
Tribological properties of MgO-CaO-SiO2-P2O5-F-based glass-ceramic for dental applications Park, Jongee; Öztürk, Abdullah (Elsevier BV, 2007-04-01) Microhardness and tribological behavior of a glass-ceramic produced from a glass in the MgO-CaO-SiO2-P2O5-F system have been investigated with regard to the phases formed and microstructure developed during crystallization. The results of X-ray diffraction analysis indicated that apatite and wollastonite are the predominant crystalline phases. Scanning electron microscopy examination revealed that the wollastonite crystal content decreases and apatite crystal content increases as the depth distance from the...
Single- and double-helix vortex breakdown as two dominant global modes in turbulent swirling jet flow Vanierschot, Maarten; Mueller, Jens S.; Sieber, Moritz; Perçin, Mustafa; van Oudheusden, Bas W.; Oberleithner, Kilian (Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2020-01-25) In this paper, we study the shape and dynamics of helical coherent structures found in the flow field of an annular swirling jet undergoing vortex breakdown. The flow field is studied by means of time-resolved tomographic particle image velocimetry measurements. The obtained flow fields are analysed using both classic and spectral proper orthogonal decomposition. Despite the simple geometrical set-up of the annular jet, the flow field is very complex. Two distinct large-scale helical flow structures are ide...
Ultrathin oxynitridation process through ion implantation in a poly Si1-xGex gate MOS capacitor Jacob, AP; Myrberg, T; Friesel, M; Nur, O; Willander, M; Serincan, U; Turan, Raşit (Elsevier BV, 2003-02-01) Effect of temperature and time of heat treatment on the distribution of ion-implanted nitrogen in poly Si0.65Ge0.35 gate MOS samples was studied. Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) was used for the qualitative analysis of the nitrogen distribution. Rapid thermal processing was carried out for a temperature range of 950-1070degreesC for the redistribution of ions. The nitrogen implantation doses were 5 x 10(14) cm(-2), 2 x 10(15) cm(-2) and 5 x 10(15) cm(-2), all with an implantation energy of 50 keV. Fo...
