ABSTRACT There are reports in the literature on the discovery of novel materials that were observed to shrink upon heating. Treat- ment of these materials in the same manner as the materials with positive coefficient of thermal expansion can lead to the misinterpretation of the laws of thermodynamics. This is because volume expansivity is usually defined at constant pressure. Negative values for volume expansivity can be shown using Maxwell’s reciprocity relations to lead to nega- tive values for absolute temperature for ideal gas. For real systems, using Helmholz free energy analysis at equilibrium an expression for the volume expansivity was derived. It can be seen that this expression would be always positive for real physical changes, either heating or cooling. Isentropic volume expansivity is proposed as better suited for analysis of materials with negative thermal expansion, NTE and composites used in space such as Hubble telescope and Chandra telescope with zero coefficient of thermal expansion. This kind of a switch from isobaric to isentropic has precedence in the history of development of speed of sound.

The phase composition, microstructure, phase change temperature and enthalpy of the alloy were investigated after 100, 200, 400 and 500 thermal cycles. The results indicate that no considerable phase transformation and structural change occurred, and only a small decrease in phase transition temperature and enthalpy appeared in the alloy after 500 thermal cycles, which implied that the Mg–25%Cu–15%Zn eutectic alloy had thermal reliability with respect to repeated thermal cycling, which can provide a theoretical basis for industrial application.

  • The Pressure-Amorphized State in Zirconium Tungstate: a Precursor to Decomposition

This is from the volume collapse V across amorphization, which is obtained for the first time by measuring linear dimensions of irreversibly amorphized samples during their recovery to the original cubic phase upon isochronal annealing up to 1000 K. The anomalously large V of 25.7 ± 1.2% being the same as that expected for the decomposition indicates that this amorphous state is probably a precursor to kinetically hindered decomposition. A P–T diagram of the compound is also proposed. 1. Introduction At high pressure many materials exhibit structural phase transitions, while some become amorphous [1–7]. Although it is widely believedthat the phenomenon of pressure-induced amorphization (PIA) arises due to kinetic hindrance of equilibrium phase transitions, the structure of the equilibrium high-pressure phase, which the compound should have ideally evolved to, has remained speculative or unknown in most cases.

  • The Coefficient of Thermal Expansion and Your Heating System By: Admin - May 06, 2021
    The Coefficient of Thermal Expansion and your Heating System By: Admin - May 06, 2021 We’ve all been there. The lid on pickle jar is impossibly tight, but when you run hot water over the jar you can easily unscrew the lid. The metal lid expands more than the glass jar, which is a simple illustration of how materials, when heated, expand at different rates. The relationship of how materials expand or contract through temperature change is driven by the coefficient of thermal expansion or CTE of those materials and is a critical factor when designing a heater. Determining the appropriate materials for the heater is not as simple as running warm water over a metal lid. The coefficient of thermal expansion is a critical factor when pairing dissimilar materials in a system. With the help of Watlow representatives, you can make sure your system is designed for success, efficiency and a long lifespan. What is the coefficient of thermal expansion? To understand the science behind the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), one must first understand the basics of thermal expansion. Physical property changes, such as shape, area, volume and density, occur during thermal expansion. Every material or metal/metal alloy will have a slightly different expansion rate. CTE, then, is the relative expansion or contraction of materials driven by a change in temperature. Metals, ceramics and other materials have unique coefficients of thermal expansion and do not expand and contract at equal rates. For example, if the volume of a section of aluminum and a section of ceramic are equal and are heated from X to Y degrees, the aluminum could increase in dimension by a factor of four compared to the ceramic.

Box 206; Al-Salt 19117 Jordan Abstract: This work explored the potential a cost-effective, simplistic and feasible method for commercial purposes to make sawdust polymeric films for zirconium Zr (IV) ions removal from aqueous medium. In this regard, cellulose acetate (CA) -co- Poly glycidyl methacrylate (PGMA) was prepared via radiation induced graft polymerization. The effect of sawdust content (SD) (wt%) on the properties of CA-co-PGMA biopolymer films was studied. The structural investigations and applicability of the prepared CA-co-PGMA/SD biopolymer films were carried out using XRD, SEM, FTIR, EDX and ICP. The introduction of more ionizable groups into the prepared biopolymer by NaOH-treatment regulated in improving its properties compared to untreated ones and these properties depend mainly on the number and form of the ionizable groups. Removal of zirconium (IV) from its aqueous medium was studied in batch mode experiments. The results of this study indicate that modification of CA-co-PGMA/SD biopolymer films shows great potential for simultaneous removal adsorptive of zirconium ions from its aqueous solution. Also, the prepared biopolymer has high efficiency for separation of Ti (IV) ions from its aqueous mixture with Zr (IV) ions.

Cohen Carnegie Institution of Washington, 5251 Broad Branch Road, NW, Washington, D. C. 20015, U. S. A. We investigate the equation of state and elastic properties of nonmagnetic hcp iron at high pressures and high temperatures using the first principles linear response linear- muffin-tin-orbital method in the generalized-gradient approximation. We calculate the Helmholtz free energy as a function of volume, temperature, and volume-constrained strain, including the electronic excitation contributions from band structures and lattice vibrational contributions from quasi-harmonic lattice dynamics. We perform detailed investigations on the behavior of elastic moduli and equation of state properties as a function of temperature and pressure, including the pressure-volume equation of state, bulk modulus, the thermal expansion coefficient, the Grüneisen ratio, and the shock Hugoniots. A detailed comparison has been made with available experimental measurements and theoretical predictions. PACS number(s): 05.70.Ce, 62.20.Dc, 65.40.-b, 31.15.Ar 1 I. Introduction Iron is one of the most abundant elements in the Earth, and is fundamental to our world. The study of iron at high pressures and temperatures is of great geophysical interest, since both the Earth’s liquid outer core and solid inner core are mainly composed of this element. Although the crystal structure of iron at the extremely high temperature (4000 to 8000 K) and high pressure (330 to 360 GPa) conditions found in the deep inner core is still under debate,[1-5] the hexagonal-close-packed phase (ε-Fe) has been found to have a wide stability field extending from deep mantel to core conditions, and serves as a starting point for understanding the nature of the inner core.[6] Significant experimental and theoretical efforts have been recently devoted to investigate properties of hcp iron at high pressures and temperatures.
