Analytical and numerical solution for viscous dissipation effect on the heat transfer in a deformable channel

In this paper, shooting method and homotopy perturbation technique are applied for the flow analysis of temporal energy transport in a deformation channel with isothermal walls. An incompressible viscous fluid fills the space inside the channel. Analytical and numerical solutions are developed for the momentum and energy equations. The viscous dissipation effects are taken into account. Graphs for pertinent flow parameters are sketched and discussed. Comparison between the analytical and numerical solutions indicates an excellent agreement. It is noticed that behaviors of Prandtl and Eckert numbers on the temperature are qualitatively similar.

Role of compositional changes on thermal,magnetic,and mechanical properties of Fe-P-C-based amorphous alloys

This work aimed to tune the comprehensive properties of Fe-P-C-based amorphous system through investigating the role of microalloying process on the crystallization behavior,glass forming ability(GFA),soft magnetic features,and mechanical properties.Considering minor addition of elements into the system,it was found that the simultaneous microalloying of Ni and Co leads to the highest GFA,which was due to the optimization of compositional heterogeneity and creation of near-eutectic composition.Moreover,the FeCoNiCuPC amorphous alloy exhibited the best anelastic/viscoplastic behavior under the nanoindentation test,which was owing to the intensified structural fluctuations in the system.However,the improved plasticity by the extra Cu addition comes at the expense of magnetic properties,so that the saturation magnetization of this alloying system is significantly decreased compared to the FeCoPC amorphous alloy with the highest soft magnetic properties.In total,the results indicated that a combination of added elemental constitutes,i.e.,Fe69Co5Ni5Cu1P13C7 composition,provides an optimized state for the comprehensive properties in the alloying system.

On the difference spaces of almost convergent and strongly almost convergent double sequences

In this paper, we study the difference spaces \({\mathcal {F}}(\varDelta )\), \({\mathcal {F}}_0(\varDelta )\), \({\mathcal {[F]}}(\varDelta )\) and \({\mathcal {[F]}}_0(\varDelta )\) of double sequences obtained as the domain of four-dimensional backward difference matrix \(\varDelta \) in the spaces \({\mathcal {F}}\), \({\mathcal {F}}_{0}\), \({\mathcal {[F]}}\) and \({\mathcal {[F]}}_{0}\) of almost convergent, almost null, strongly almost convergent and strongly almost null double sequences; respectively. We examine general topological properties of those spaces and give some inclusion theorems. Furthermore, we deal with their dual spaces.

A novel amperometric hydrogen peroxide biosensor based on pyrrole-PAMAM dendrimer modified gold electrode

Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was immobilized into an electrochemically prepared copolymer of pyrrole–PAMAM (PAMAM; polyamidoamine) dendrimers for the construction of amperometric hydrogen peroxide biosensor. First, second, and third generation amidoamine–pyrrole dendrons having branched amine periphery and focal pyrrole functionality were synthesized via divergent pathway. Pyrrole dendrimers were covalently attached onto the electrode surface and polymerized by electrochemical copolymerization with pyrrole monomer. The synthesized dendrimers and copolymers have been characterized by FTIR-ATR and NMR. These copolymers have been utilized as conducting films for amperometric hydrogen peroxide sensing. The HRP retains its bioactivity after immobilization into the dendronized pyrrole-copolymers. Amperometric response was measured as a function of concentration of hydrogen peroxide, at fixed potential of +0.35 V vs. Ag/AgCl in a phosphate buffered saline (pH 7.5). The effect of pH and temperature of the medium, storage, and reusability properties were investigated. The results indicate an efficient immobilization of enzyme onto the PAMAM type dendrimer modified surface containing pyrrole monomer, which leads to high enzyme loading, and increased lifetime stability of the electrode.     

Interaction in the TlSe-Pr2Se3 system

The interaction of components in the TlSe-Pr₂Se₃ system was studied by differential thermal, X-ray powder diffraction, and microstructural analyses and also by microhardness and density measurements. The state diagram of this system was constructed. It was found that the section TlSe-Pr₂Se₃ is a quasi-binary section of the Tl-Pr-Se ternary system. In the TlSe-Pr₂Se₃ system at the component ratio 1: 1, a new chemical compound, TlPr₂Se₄, forms, which melts congruently at 1295°C. In the system based on TlSe, solid solutions form until 3.5 mol % Pr₂Se₃, and in the system based on Pr₂Se₃, solid solutions occur until 2.5 mol % TlSe.
