Download or read book Drying Ceramics in Ultrahigh frequency Electrical Fields written by Watertown Arsenal (Mass.). Laboratories and published by . This book was released on 1961 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The program undertaken was designed to determine the applicability of dielectric heating to the drying of ceramic components fabricated by wet processing techniques. The general characteristics of dielectric drying were studied along with the specific moisture removal characteristics for a typical wet-processed ceramic composition (50% clay, 25% flint, 25% feldspar). The results obtained in this investigation showed that rapid drying rates for ceramics are possible with the dielectric heating method. Wet ceramic components can be heated and dried uniformly in the electric field without the development of severe temperature and moisture gradients which might lead to cracking and/or warping of the components. Although drying rates were found to be extremely high, they are limited by the rupture strength of the material, i.e., its ability to withstand the stresses developed by the pressure of the escaping water vapor. Dielectric drying holds interesting possibilities for drying high-cost ceramic components or component systems which are difficult to process by other techniques. (Author).

Download or read book Ferroelectric Ceramics written by Setter and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the fascinating aspects of the field of ferroelectric ceramics is its interdisciplinary nature. This aspect is also a source of difficulty for the people working in the field. In a successful team of ferroelectricians the physics theoretician must understand the sintering technologist, the electrical engineer has to communicate with the crystallographer, the organic chemist will interact with the microelectronics engineer, the electron microscopist should collaborate with the systems engineer. It was the purpose of the summer school on ferroelectric ceramics that took place at the Centro Stefano Franscini (ETHZ), Monte VeritA, Ascona, Switzerland, in September 1991 to help to build bridges between people from the different disciplines and to draw for them, in the form of tutorial lectures, some of the different facets of ferroelectrics. The book is a written version of this summer school. It contains the following subjects: ferroelectric materials, physics of ferroelectrics, thin films, processing of ferroelectrics and their applications. It represents a cross section of topics of current interest. Materials are presented (L. E. Cross) from the point of view of the user, i. e. the tailoring of materials for specific applications. Two reviews address the important topic of ferroelectric domains and domain walls (I. Fousek and H. Schmid). In the part devoted to theory, three subjects of current interest are presented: phase transition in thin films (D. R. Tilley), weak ferroelectrics (A. K. Tagantsev) and dielectric losses (A. K. Tagantsev).

Download or read book Freeze Drying written by Georg-Wilhelm Oetjen and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-01-08 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many modern pharmaceutical and biological products, e.g. blood derivatives, vaccines, cytostatic drugs, antibiotics, bacteria cultures but also consumer goods such as soluble coffee are freeze-dried to transform perishable substances into a form that can be stored and reconstituted to their almost original state without loss of quality. The book describes the up-to-date fundamentals of freeze-drying, not just presenting the process in all its seven steps theoretically, but explaining it with many practical examples. Many years of experience in freeze-drying allow the authors to supply valuable criteria for the selection of laboratory, pilot and production plants, discussing the advantages, drawbacks and limitations of different plant designs. In this second, completely revised edition, process and plant automation are introduced in a separate section and methods to transfer pilot plant qualifications and process data to production are presented. The guidelines for process and plant evaluation and qualifications have been updated and enlarged. Trouble shooting is concentrated in a section of its own and literature has been updated with 100 new quotations to include references as recent as 2002, and 100 new tables and figures have been added.
