THERMOELECTRIC HEAT EXCHANGER - HEAT TRANSMISSION INTENSIFIER FOR MAINTAINING A THERMAL REGIME IN ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS by Sh. A. Yusufov

“…A mathematical model is provided for determining the temperature of air flows from the heatexchange surfaces of a thermoelectric system (TES), as well as the limiting length of a thermoelectric system to achieve equal output temperature at given supply currents of thermoelectric batteries.Conclusion. On the basis of the conducted studies, it is concluded that a longer thermoelectric system for ensuring the intensification mode corresponds to an increased difference in the temperature of the coolant at the inlet. …”

Corrosion Resistance of AZ91 Magnesium Alloy with Pulse Electrodeposited Ni-SiC Nanocomposite Coating by A. Amadeh, M. Hajiali Fini

“…Microhardness of specimens was measured and the results revealed a significant enhancement from 74 H for bare AZ91 magnesium alloy to 523 HV for the specimen coated in the bath containing 15 g.L–1 SiC. The Corrosion behavior of the samples was studied by potentiodaynamic polarization, and the obtained data showed superior corrosion resistance for coated AZ91 magnesium alloy, i.e. the corrosion current density decreased from 2.69 mA.cm–2, for the uncoated sample, to 0.00046 mA.cm–2, for coated specimen in the bath containing 15 g.L–1 SiC and the corrosion potential increased from – 2.069 V to – 0.33 V at the same conditions. …”

The comparative study of the corrosion stability of Zn-Ni-Co alloy coatings deposited from chloride and sulphate baths by Marija G. Riđošić, Jelena B. Bajat

“…On the other hand, [Co2+]/Ni2+] ion ratio showed a significant influence on corrosion behaviour of ternary alloy coatings, and this influence was more pronounced with alloys deposited from chloride baths. It was shown that increased corrosion protection of steel can be achieved by electrochemical deposition of ternary alloys that contained lower amount off the alloying elements, while the composition of the ternary alloy can be optimized by proper choice of the type and composition of the deposition bath.…”
