Plasma gasification process using computational fluid dynamics modeling by Mariam Sakhraji, Ana Ramos, Eliseu Monteiro, Khalid Bouziane, Abel Rouboa

“…It is well understood that increasing gasification temperature is beneficial since it enhances reaction rates, and influences the energy equilibrium of endothermic gasification. This emphasizes the importance of the current work because it depicts the various regions of the updraft reactor as well as the related gasification phases that occur in reality at different temperatures. …”

Transformation-Induced Relaxation and Stress Recovery of TiNi Shape Memory Alloy by Kohei Takeda, Ryosuke Matsui, Hisaaki Tobushi, Elzbieta A. Pieczyska

“…The results obtained are summarized as follows. (1) In the loading process, temperature increases due to the exothermic martensitic transformation (MT) until the holding strain and thereafter temperature decreases while holding the strain constant, resulting in stress relaxation due to the MT; (2) In the unloading process, temperature decreases due to the endothermic reverse transformation until the holding strain and thereafter temperature increases while holding the strain constant, resulting in stress recovery due to the reverse transformation; (3) Stress varies markedly in the initial stage followed by gradual change while holding the strain constant; (4) If the stress rate is high until the holding strain in the loading and unloading processes, both stress relaxation and stress recovery are large; (5) It is important to take into account this behavior in the design of SMA elements, since the force of SMA elements varies even if the atmospheric temperature is kept constant.…”
