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...

Neutron diffraction measurements have been made for D2O water in the confined geometry of various mesoporous silicas over a wide temperature range. The data have been taken for cooling and heating runs incorporating the nucleation and melting of the crystalline phases and the super-cooled liquid...

The locust is a kind of grasshoppers. Gregarious locusts form swarms and can migrate over large distances and they spread and damage a large area (locust outbreak). When the density is low, each of locusts behaves as an individual insect (solitary phase). As locusts become crowded, they become...

A general finite element framework for the application to different types of phase transforming alloys and under general thermo-mechanical loadings is presented. The developed technique is exemplified on cubic to tetragonal transformations of shape memory alloys.
