2. Basic theories and principles 2.1 Chemical vapor deposition 2.1.1 Definition of chemical vapor deposition Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is a versatile process which is widely applied to produce coatings, powders, fibers and monolithic components [1]. Applying the chemical vapor deposition, it is possible to produce alloy and compounds of metals and nonmetal materials. Chemical vapor deposition can be defined as the deposition of a solid on a heated surface from a chemical reaction in the…

Stainless Steel (Car Components): Stainless steel which is also known as inox steel, is a steel alloy which features 10.5% of chromium. Stainless steel does not rust or stain like normal steel would and even though it is called stainless steel, it is not entirely stainless, because in low-oxygen, high salinity environments it is able to be stained. The main difference between stainless steel and general carbon steel is the amount of chromium present. Due to the amount of chromium that stainless…

the short-term muscle strength. The performance of muscles enhances. It is a strength exercise that uses resistance to muscular contractions. There are many different methods to perform anaerobic exercises. The most common of which are weight and resistance exercise. These two types of exercise use gravity (through weight stacks, plates or dumbbells) or machines to oppose muscle contraction, and the terms can be used interchangeably. Benefits When properly performed, strength training can…

4.1 First Side by Side Geometry The first model shown in figure 3 was for twin tunnels already constructed at a centre to centre spacing of 3D. This model helped to identify the influence of construction sequence on surface and subsurface ground displacement upon excavating the first and second tunnels underneath the existing twin tunnels. Figure 3: First Side by Side twin tunnels 4.1.1 Surface Displacements The surface displacements at distances of 4.75m, 7.125m, 9.5m and 11.875m from the…

proper race you need to have good muscular endurance to avoid fatigue. For a rower to improve their muscular endurance, they will need to undergo weight training. Weight training uses weights to provide resistance to the muscles. It improves muscular strength (high weight, low reps), muscular endurance (low weight, high reps) and power (medium weight and reps performed quickly). Weight training will improve the…
