5. Proposed Research Questions and Tasks Four proposed research tasks will direct to fabrication conditions (Task 1), fabrication thermal analysis (Task 2), fabricated parts performance (Task 3), microstructure control methodology (Task 4), respectively. These tasks are designed to answer the questions and solve the problems in the results of preliminary experiments and observations from reported investigations. 5.1. Task 1. Investigating feasible formation conditions and effects of laser power…

Since the water splitting reaction using semiconductor electrode reported by Fujishima et al. in 1972 [1], there is increasing interest in the development of metal oxide photocatalysts for environmentally friendly applications such as air purification [2], hydrogen production via water splitting [3] and the removal of organic molecules from water [4]. Recently, photocatalyst thin film has aroused growing interests instead of a powder type of photocatalyst. Photocatalyst film can be deposited…

1. Redox Catalyst Catalyst is defined as a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without changing its chemical composition and affecting the standard Gibbs free energy, by lowering the activation energy of a chemical reaction. It does so by providing an alternative reaction pathway. In redox reaction, the key chemical event is the net movement of electrons from one reactant to the other. The oxidation state of atoms are changed. Transition metal is used as redox catalyst due…

Electrical Properties AC Conductivity, Ac Resistivity, Dielectric loss, and Dielectric constant are electrical properties and measured as a function of frequency. AC Conductivity and Resistivity AC resistance (ρac) was recorded by LCR meter model 4275 in the frequency range 1MHz to 3GHz. AC conductivity was determined by using the value of Ac resistance. As we know, Ac Conductivity is reciprocal of Ac resistance can be calculated by the relation; ac =1/ρac (6) The variation of AC…

3. Results and discussion 3.1. XRD analysis The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern of Sn-substituted Ni-Zn ferrites with the chemical composition of Ni0.6-x/2Zn0.4-x/2SnxFe2O4 (NZSFO) are shown in Fig. 1. The XRD spectra were indexed and fcc cubic phase was identified. The structural parameters are calculated from the XRD data and have been discussed in Ali et al [6]. The lattice constants are calculated from the XRD data and represented in Table 1. The distances between the magnetic ions at…

800 °C. Therefore, most of the Metal processes sustainability advantages and disadvantages will apply here. Evaluation of which process should be used While there is only 2 processes for Ceramic's, in my opinion the Injection Moulding would be more beneficial. The main reason I have chosen this over Powder Metallurgy, is that the Injection Moulding process offers a far higher hardness strength than the Powder Metallurgy version. This would be an excellent feature for us, as we do not want the…

1) What are engineering stress and strain? Answer: Engineering Stress: Engineering stress is also called nominal stress, and it is defined as the applied load divided by the original cross sectional area of the material. Engineering Strain: Engineering strain is defined as the amount of material that deforms per unit length in a tensile test. Engineering strain is also known as nominal strain. 2) In the figure below, graphically show the toughness of three class materials:…

The primary test showing of an association between naturally visible piezoelectric marvels and crystallographic structure was distributed in 1880 by Pierre and Jacques Curie. Their analysis comprised of a decisive estimation of surface charges showing up on extraordinarily arranged precious stones (tourmaline, quartz, topaz, natural sweetener and Rochelle salt among them) which were subjected to mechanical anxiety. These outcomes were a sound representative for the Curies ' creative ability and…

manipulated digitally. The 3-D digital data was transferred to the UT Aerospace Engineering/ Engineering Mechanics Learning Resource Center to be digitally processed. The original 3-D digital model was too complex to manufacture using the laser sintering machine available at UT so they had to change it to be more simple. The number of facets representing the femur bone was reduced to a more manageable 30,000. Smaller data set was still very accurate for the intended…

 The Zeroshift concept is to remove the synchromesh components within a manual transmission and replace them with Zeroshift rings, Figure 1. Synchronization is performed externally with the assistance of torque intervention performed by the engine control unit and an automated clutch (standard equipment in an AMT).  The Zeroshift rings act as a pair and represent a dog engagement type transmission. The unacceptable backlash found in dog engagement transmissions is eliminated by splitting the…
