Thermal analysis of smart fins in a micro heat exchanger

Micro heat exchangers using smart fins undergo variation of temperature along the passage of fluid flow. This requires analysis of these smart cantilevers under thermal load. In the present research, thermal analysis of bi-metallic smart, surface mounted, piezo patched cantilevers under thermal excitation, has been carried out. Electro-thermo-elastic governing equations and constitutive equations ...

Analysis of precious metals in jewelry

Abstract For thousands of years, man learned the craft of making jewelry from gold. Gold is a noble metal which does not react with the air and has a shiny yellow color.Over the years, alloying of the gold was necessary to improve its properties since pure gold is too soft to be used for jewelry. Alloying of the gold is usually by low-cost metals such as copper, zinc, silver or nickel. Since ...

Analysis of Highly Mineralized Aqueous Solutions by ICP-AES

Environmental Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) methods, such as EPA 200.7 or SW846 Method 6010, expect that samples will be fairly dilute without an overabundance of dissolved constituents (less than 2000 ppm Total Dissolved Solids). Laboratories running mine-impacted waters, such as acid rock drainage from exposed copper tailings, or mineral digests of a “waste” sample (that is ...
