Experimental Studies of Interfacial Heat Transfer and Initial Solidification Pertinent to Strip Casting
Les Strezov,Joe Herbertson +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the first 50 milliseconds of contact, the observed nucleation behaviour and the resultant surface and internal solidification structures were analyzed. Butler et al. used a moving paddle to simulate the initial solidification phase in strip casting.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal Decomposition of Wheat Straw and Mallee Residue Under Pyrolysis Conditions
TL;DR: In this article, the pyrolysis behavior of wheat straw and mallee residue and resulting gases, liquids, and chars were examined using computer-aided thermal analysis at heating rates of 10 and 100 °C/min to a temperature of 1000 °C.

Electrochemical reduction of metal oxides
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a process for electrochemically reducing a metal oxide, such as titania, in a solid state in an electrochemical cell that includes a bath of molten electrolyte, a cathode, and an anode.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms of initial melt/substrate heat transfer pertinent to strip casting
TL;DR: In this article, an experimental study of 304 stainless steel melts in direct contact with copper substrates under conditions approximating the meniscus region of a strip caster has highlighted the importance of interfacial heat transfer during the first 30 ms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Computer aided thermal analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors have designed a novel instrument to measure apparent specific heat of a range of different materials during continuous heating, and measured data was used to quantify specific and latent heat by employing inverse numerical modelling technique.
