In this study, nucleation and grain growth was studied by using 2-dimensional generalized Monte Carlo simulations and experiments. As an attempt to improve the JMAK model, we proposed a new differential equation to be able to model nucleation and growth phenomena using nonextensive...

The main objectives of this paper are firstly to investigate the behaviour of the thin layer drying of plantain banana, mango and cassava experimentally in a direct solar dryer and secondly to perform mathematical modelling by using thin layer drying models encountered in literature. The...

The problem we are dealing with takes its origin in the electromagnetic shaping of melted metal. High frequency alternating currents are used in the process. They are running essentially on the conductor surface, so it implies skin effect since the electric and magnetic fields are strongly...

Analysis of a model for fast spinodal decomposition controlled by diffusion is proposed. Using the concept of fast phase separation, an interpretation of a purely non-equilibrium contribution to the entropy of a spinodally decomposing system is given in terms of multi-component fluids and of...

A review of studies focused on enhancing the thermal conductivity of phase change materials (PCM) for thermal energy storage upon introduction of nanostructures is presented. These emerging materials have only been studied since 2005 and represent a clear departure from previous/existing...
