Martensitic transformation in alloys of the system TiNi-TiCu prepared by ultrarapid melt cooling

Conclusion In alloys of the TiNi-TiCu system prepared in the form of thin tapes by ultrarapid melt cooling the B2-phase, which is unstable towards martensitic transformation B2B19, contains up to 35% Cu, whereas in bulk alloys prepared in the form of an ingot cooled at normal rates it contains about 10% Cu close to the M_S. In alloys containing up to 35% Cu there are no untransformed brittle phases preventing development of martensitic transformation throughout the volume of the material. The structure of alloys is quite uniform, particularly those obtained by crystallizing from the amorphous condition, and the grain size of the high-temperature phase is a fraction of a micron. The fine structure of alloys close to a globular at a high cooling rate. Thus, range of practically important alloys of the B2 type with inelastic behavior effects, e.g., the shape memory effect, is considerably expanded.Translated from Metallovedenie i Termicheskaya Obrabotka Metallov, No. 11, pp. 38–41, November, 1988.     

Determining the mechanical characteristics of soils from static-penetration data

Conclusion 1. For clayey soils, it is possible to confirm, using the curves in Fig. 2, the interlinking of the resultant data from the results of penetration and laboratory determinations of the compression modulus and the undrained-shear strength.2. For sandy soils, it is possible to determine with reliability the angle from Fig. 3 for different penetration depths and different values of q.Translated from Osnovaniya, Fundamenty i Mekhanika Gruntov, No. 1, pp. 28–30, January–February, 1978.

Temperature jump across a plane interface for a phase transition in a pure liquid

We develop a theoretical model of the development of a temperature jump across the boundary between phases during a phase transition in pure liquids.Notation G₁ mass flux of molecules of the liquid into the liquid - G₂ mass flux of molecules of the liquid into the vapor - G_v mass flux of vapor molecules - T₁ vapor temperature near the liquid surface - T₂ temperature of the liquid - T_v vapor temperature - R universal gas constant - c_p, c_v specific heats - r heat of vaporization - q heat flux density - K ratio c_p/c_v - parameter of the phase transition - F₀ area of the interface - P₁ pressure of the liquid - P₂ phase transition pressure - P_v vapor pressure Translated from Inzhenerno-Fizicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 54, No. 5, pp. 793–797, May, 1988.     

Principles of heat exchange in evaporation of a liquid film on a smooth horizontal tube

Experimental data are presented for the local heat liberation coefficient for flow of a liquid film on a smooth horizontal tube, permitting refinement of the concept of the heat exchange mechanism.Notation , , ,a kinematic viscosity, thermal conductivity, density, and thermal diffusivity of liquid - liquid film thickness - irrigation density Translated from Inzhenerno-Fizicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 54, No. 5, pp. 736–739, May, 1988.     

Synthesis of aromatic polyethers by Scholl reaction

This paper describes the synthesis and cation-radical polymerization of 1,5-bis(1-naphthoxy)-3-oxapentane. This monomer contains a flexible diethylene oxide unit between two 1-naphthalene rings. The FT-IR analysis of the resulted polymer indicates that it contains 1,4-disubstituted naphthalene structural units, i.e. 4,4-disubstituted-1,1-binaphthalene units. The polymer is crystalline with a melting point of 236 °C.Part IX: V. Percec and J. H. Wang: J. Mater. Chem., in press
