Magnetic field induction and magnetic force distribution profiles in plasma focus discharge device

We report a simple-to-perform technique to investigate the distribution of the azimuthal magnetic field induction, Bθ, and the induced magnetic force acting on the plasma current sheath(PCS) in a plasma focus(PF) discharge. This in situ measurement technique can undoubtedly be beneficial when other fast-imaging techniques are not available. techniques are not available. Experimental work was conducted in the low-energy Mather-type EAEA-PF1 device operated in argon. The axial distribution(Bθ)_z along the coaxial electrodes system was measured with a four magnetic-probe set technique at different radial distances(r=2.625×10~(-2) to 4.125×10~(-2) m) within the annular space between the coaxial electrodes during the 1 st and 2 nd half cycles of the discharge current waveform, where inner electrode of coaxial electrode system has a +ve polarity and-ve polarity, respectively. Axial,radial and total magnetic force distribution profiles were estimated from Bθdata. Investigation of PCS shape in terms of its inclination(curvature) angle, θ, along the axial rundown phase and the correlation between the magnetic forces per unit volume acting on the PCS, the inclination angle θ of the PCS,and the formation of a powerful PF action during the 1 st and 2 nd half cycles is carried out.Dependence of inclination angle, θ, on total magnetic force per unit volume acting on PCS axial motion was studied, separately, during the 1 st and 2 nd half cycles.     

Seed composition of non-industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) varieties from four regions in northern Morocco

This study aims to determine the chemical composition of hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) seeds of two varieties cultivated in four different regions of northern Morocco. The content of protein, insoluble fibre, ash, total phenols and flavonoids was found to be 19.25%–24.18%, 26.40%–37.40%, 3.72%–5.39%, 134.57–199.90 mg 100g⁻¹ and 39.40–69.54 mg 100g⁻¹ respectively. Oil contents ranged from 26.42 to 35.19 g 100 g⁻¹ of seeds in the four collection sites with variable oxidative stability at 100°C from 9.73 to 15.42 h. Total tocopherol content was between 376.46 and 796.06 mg kg⁻¹ of oil, with a dominance of γ-tocopherol. Fatty acids consisted mainly of unsaturated fatty acids (87.30-88.96%) with a predominance of linoleic acid (48.26%–55.39%). Triacylglycerols (TAGs) composition analysis revealed the presence of 18 TAGs with an equivalent carbon number of 38–48. The composition of TAGs was predominated by LLL (14.34%–22.62%), OLL (12.77%–18.78%) and LLLn (12.32%–18.59%). Furthermore, the majority of the evaluated parameters were strongly influenced by the varietal factor, growing area and their interaction. The knowledge of this composition variability in seeds of non-industrial Cannabis sativa varieties cultivated in northern Morocco could be useful in new Cannabis variety breeding programmes potentially valuable as non-conventional oil in cosmetic and agro-industry.

Enhancement of melt-spun process Bi–Ag lead-free solder for high temperature applications

The enhancement of lead free solders has emerged as one of the most important issues in the electronics assembling industries. Bi–Ag hypo and eutectic alloys have been considerd as one of the lead free solders that can replace the Pb–Sn solder for high temperature applications. This study investigates the effect of various compositions of silver on the mechanical, thermal and electrical properties of the melt-spun process Bi–Ag hypo and eutectic alloys was directionally solidified using copper wheel technology.The microhardness (Hv), creep resistance were measured from solidified ribbons.The results showed that presence of α-Bi phase, Ag_99.5Bi_0.5 (with a cubic structure Fm-3m) and Ag_0.97Bi_0.03 (with a cubic structure Fm-3m) embedded in Bi matrix. Furthermore, the eutectic composition Bi—2.5 wt% Ag shows the more regular microstructure than hypo eutectic composition. It is also concluded that the solderability of solder is significantly imported due to the surface tension of molten Bi–Ag lead-free solder decreases with the Ag content. The obtained results show a surprising desirable decrease in melting temperature with increasing Ag from 269 to 261 °C. Also, it was found that the eutectic composition Bi—2.5 Ag exhibit good mechanical properties superior to hypo-eutectic composition.
