Heat is a familiar form of energy transported from a hot side to a colder side of an object, but not a notion associated with microscopic measurements of electronic properties. A temperature difference within a material causes charge carriers, electrons or holes, to diffuse along the temperature gradient inducing a thermoelectric voltage. Here we show that local thermoelectric measurements can yield high sensitivity imaging of structural disorder on the atomic and nanometre scales. Using this imaging technique, we discovered a defect-mediated dimensional evolution of strain-response patterns in epitaxial graphene with increasing thickness.

Finite element analysis of welding processes, which entail phase evolution, heat transfer and deformation, is considered in this paper. Attention focuses on numerical implementation of the thermo-elastic-plastic constitutive equation proposed by Leblond et al in consideration of the transformation plasticity. Based upon the multiplicative decomposition of deformation gradient, hyperelastic formulation is employed for efficient numerical integration, and the algorithmic consistent moduli for elastic-plastic deformations including transformation plasticity are obtained in the closed form. The convergence behavior of the present implementation is demonstrated via a couple of numerical example.

Agriculture is probably the most weather-dependent of all human activities. Variations lil climate have been, and continue to be, the principal source of fluctuations in global food production, particularly in the semi-arid tropical countries of the developing world. Throughout history, extremes of heat and cold, droughts and floods, and various forms of violent weather have wreaked havoc on the agricultural systems that depend on for food.(omitted)

The effect of frictional rolling and subsequent heat treatment was studied on the evolution of texture of AA 3003 Aluminum alloy. With frictional rolling without lubrication it is possible to obtain a larger friction between roll and sample which lead to the formation of uniform rolling texture in the whole thickness layers.

Flame retard of polymers was studied for prevention from burning by various additives stimulated the char formation during heating and thermal degradation of polymer materials. Forming char have high porosity, low thermal conductivity and act as thermal shield for heat transmission from the flame to the polymer and. oxygen towards the polymer. The results showed that various additives may regulate the processes of intumecsence. The efficient fire protective intumescent char was result of processes of melting, gas evolution, cross-linking, carbonization etc.

The trend to thinner crystalline silicon solar wafers in production of solar cells investigates re-evolution of back surface field (BSF) formation. We have studied mechanisms of back contact formation in Al evaporation and screen printed Al paste for Si solar cells by TEM analysis. We observed that Si diffuse into Al during heat up. The Si diffusion process made vacancies in Si wafer. The Al began to seep into the Si wafer (Al spike). During heat down, the Al spike were shrink which causes the doped region (BSF).

The effects of salts which was used as a catalysis in formation of $\alpha$-calciumusulfate hemihydrate from dicalcium sulfate hydrate were investigated on the hydration of $\alpha$-calciumsulfate hemihydrate. The hydration of $\alpha$-calciumsulfate hemihydrate was studied by the measurements of crystalline water, heat evolution. Also the hydrates were analyzed by XRD, DSC and SEM. The promotive effect each salts on the hydration was as follows: NaCl>NH4Cl>NaNO3>NH4NO3, and the hydration rate was accelerated with concentration of salts. The effect of Al2(SO4)3 and potassium sodium tartrate on the hydration was slmilar to water, whereas sodium succinate and gelatin retarded the hydration in comparision with water. These salts affected the hydration time but total heat evoution was similar.

The effects of subcooling and natural convection are studied numerically on the melting process of an initially subcooled phase-change medium filled inside a horizontal circular cylinder. It is postulated that melting continues with the tube wall kept at a constant temperature and with the unmelted solid core fixed. Primary emphasis is placed on the evolution of interface morphology, the local/overall heat transfer rate at the tube wall and at the interface, and the structure of natural convection. The numerical results are mainly presented in terms of the Rayleigh and subcooling numbers. As the degree of subcooling intensifies, the melting rate and the movement of the interface are impeded but the interfaces are of similar shape with the passage of time. The heat transfer characteristics are found to be mostly governed by the formation pattern of natural convection in the liquid phase. Good agreement with available experimental data is found.

The effects of triangular and rectangular discharge current waveforms on anode erosion in wire electric discharge machining is investigated based on heat transfer analysis of half-space subject to time and space-dependent heat flux. The thermal load on the anode is simulated by a hear flux that is calculated from time-dependent discharge channel radius and energy. Evolution of the melting front during discharge, the molten volume at the experimental result for qualitative verification of the analysis. It is demonstrated that the triangular current waveform is more efficient in eroding the anode than the rectangular one.

Here, certain Ricci flow for Finsler n-manifolds is considered and deformation of Cartan hh-curvature, as well as Ricci tensor and scalar curvature, are derived for spaces of scalar flag curvature. As an application, it is shown that on a family of Finsler manifolds of constant flag curvature, the scalar curvature satisfies the so-called heat-type equation. Hence on a compact Finsler manifold of constant flag curvature of initial non-negative scalar curvature, the scalar curvature remains non-negative by Ricci flow and blows up in a short time.
