Abstract:
Kraft pulp digesters have been used to convert wood chips into pulp for manufacturing a wide variety of paper products. Inside a kraft digester, chemical reactions remove lignin from their wood matrix in a caustic environment (pH~13.5, 170°C, 2MPa). Data on actual internal operating conditions in a kraft digester is needed to optimize kraft digester operation and obtain maximum production quality. Currently, this information is limited to selected static locations on the periphery of the digester. The objective of this thesis is to develop miniature temperature, pressure, and liquid conductivi

Apparatus to measure the thermal conductivity of YBa(_2)Cu(_3)O(_7-δ) at temperatures between 20K and 120K has been designed and constructed. The thermal conductivity is measured using a longitudinal steady state heat flow technique. Thermal conductivity measurements have been performed upon a sample of YBa(_2)Cu(_3)O(_7-δ) which has been subjected to a series of heat treatments in order to remove oxygen from the material. The measurements show conclusively that the thermal conductivity of YBa(_2)Cu(_3)O(_7-δ) is very strongly influenced by the oxygen content of the material. A reduction of th

Thermal Barrier Coatings (TBC) are used to shield hot sections of gas turbine engines, helping to prevent the melting of metallic surfaces. TBC is a sophisticated layered system that can be divided into top coat, bond coat, and the super-alloy substrate.

The service lives of the coatings are dependent on these parameters. These coatings act as a defensive shield to protect the substrate from oxidation
