Abstract:
Separation science is a multi‐faceted discipline, underpinning almost all other fields of science and technology. Its scope encompasses fundamental and cutting edge processes and technologies, based upon exploitation of the physical distribution of chemical and biochemical species between solid, liquid or gaseous ‘phases’, facilitating their separation, purification, and analysis. Separation science plays a particularly pivotal element within the majority of modern analytical methods, methods which continue to support all manner of cutting edge scientific endeavour, including, for example, the

This is due to the triangular conflictions among thermal stability (superparamagnetic effect), single-to-noise ratio and writability of the recording media. One of the most promising methods to overcome this constraint is the patterned magnetic media technology. Although it is facing many challenges, the large potential gains in density offer

Abstract:
The issue of mold cooling is one, which presents a foundry with a dilemma. On the one hand; the use of air for cooling is safe and practical, however, it is not very effective and high cost. On the other hand, water-cooling can be very effective but it raises serious concerns about safety, especially with a metal such as magnesium. An alternative option that is being developed at McGill University uses heat pipe technology to carry out the cooling.<br>The experimental program consisted of designing a permanent mold to produce AZ91E magnesium alloy and A356 aluminum alloy castings with sh
