Fundamental Material Properties of the 2LiBH4-MgH2 Reactive Hydride Composite for Hydrogen Storage: (I) Thermodynamic and Heat Transfer Properties
Thermodynamic and heat transfer properties of the 2LiBH4-MgH2 composite (Li-RHC) system are experimentally determined and studied as a basis for the design and development of hydrogen storage tanks....
Thermal Conductivity of Magnesium Hydride
Thermal conductivity of magnesium hydride before and after ball milling with vanadium and vanadium oxide catalyst has been investigated. Measurements were taken on the loose powder as well as on...
Laser-Induced Heating in GdVO4: Yb3+/Er3+ Nanocrystals for Thermometry
Abstract: Photoluminescent temperature sensors based on gadolinium orthovanadate (GdVO4) doped with 10% ytterbium and 2% erbium are developed and dispersed in different media (lubricant fluid,...
Influence of firing temperature on the ceramic properties of illite-chlorite-calcitic clays
Abstract: The influence of firing temperature on the ceramic properties of illite-chlorite-calcitic clays has been investigated. Three samples of the same clay deposit have been selected. Weight...
