Abstract Development of high temperature and corrosion-resistant materials is one of the key issues for the deployment of advanced nuclear reactors and also to accommodate the problem that occurred in the conventional reactor as the lesson-learned from Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactor power plant accident. One of the high performance materials for that purpose is austenitic stainless steel such as AISI 316L that widely used for power plant. In this study we investigate the characteristics of AISI 316L austenitic phase transformation if cold working is applied. In general, during the cold working process the mechanical characteristic and the phase of the austenitic steel will change. It is expected that the characteristic of AISI 316L austenitic steel will be improved by optimum cold working mechanism. Cold working of AISI 316L austenitic steel at various percentage reduction of 5%, 15%, 25% and 38% have been done. Afterward, the sample was characterized using X-Ray Diffraction and Optical Microscope to analyze the microstructure characteristics and phase transformation. The results showed that the phase transformation in AISI 316L austenitic steel occurred from austenite – gamma (FCC: Face-Centered Cubic lattice) to martensite – alpha prime (BCC: Body Centered Cubic lattice). The percentage of martensite phase was increasingly growth related to the increasing of the percentage of cold working value i.e. 8.3%, 21.6%, 29.6% and 37.1%, respectively. The hardness of AISI 316L austenitic steel increased with the increasing of the cold working percentage. AISI 316L double phases which covers of austenite-martensite intermix phase structure with higher hardness mechanical properties has been successfully developed.

An experiment of measuring thermal diffusivity of material by laser pyoelectric effect is reported. The phase of pyoelectric signal is detected by photothermal pyoelectric technique, then the thermal diffusivity of material is determined by nonlinear fitting. The detection system is designed. Single-arrange composite Al 2O 3/Al is measured, and thermal diffusivity at arbitrary direction was measured by this method.

収縮座標拡散方程式は脱溶媒に基づく体積収縮を自動的に考慮する点有用であるが, その濃度依存diffusivityは初期溶媒濃度が高く広い濃度範囲にわたる脱着過程では必ず極大値をもつ. このような場合を含む脱着過程につき, 積分型収縮座標拡散方程式に基づき, (diffusivity積分値)/(脱着速度×脱着達成率)を算出する方法を示した. このとき, 濃度分布の0次と1次モーメントの関係式, および (平均濃度/中心濃度) の比を脱着速度マスター曲線より算出する経験式を用いた.

Solid thermal diffusivity is very important to study unsteady heat conduction under low temperature.In order to study solid thermal diffusivity under low temperature,sample thermal diffusivity under different temperature is computed in term of thermal diffusivity theory model in the paper.Besides,function relation between laser frequency and phase lag is gained by numerical simulation.The two groups of data are approximately equal by contrasting the numerical result and experimental result.The research indicates that solid thermal diffusivity could be measured availably by laser photothermal.Numerical simulation of solid thermal diffusivity under low temperature shows that solid thermal diffusivity changes remarkably when the scope of temperature is from 20 K to 80 K,however,the change is less from 80 K to 300 K.

Concrete can be regarded as a composite material composed of cement paste or mortar as a matrix and gravel as an aggregate. Thermal diffusivity is a measure of material's ability to undergo a temperature change. In this study, the thermal diffusivity of concrete was measured and the results were examined from the viewpoint of a composite material.When both of the fine and the coarse aggregates are of the same rock type, the diffusivity of the concrete shows a tendency to increase with increasing the aggregate content. When they are different, however, such tendency no longer exists. Hence the rock type is one of the most important factors which determine the diffusivity of concrete.Since the exact value of diffusivity of aggregate is generally unknown, a model coarse aggregate was made of the mortar of known diffusivity and was used to make concrete samples. The measurement of the diffusivity on these samples showed that the diffusivity of concrete can be expressed in terms of the diffusivities and the volume fractions of the constituent materials. This result can be used to estimate an unknown diffusivity of aggregate, mortar or concrete when two of these three quantities are known.

ABSTRACT A transient method was used to measure thermal diffusivity of a Millhopper fine sand. Tests were conducted for three bulk densities and seven volumetric water contents. Deviation of individual measurements was within 5% of the mean. Sensitivity analysis was used to analyze the effect of experimental errors on measured thermal diffusivity. The effect of diffusion of water vapor on the measured thermal diffusivity was found to be insignificant using the described procedure.

In this work the diffusivity of mercury in a commercial additived activated carbon was experimentally determined using an Argelian condensate. The diffusivity was estimated using the homogeneous solid diffusion model (HSDM) for short and long times (effective diffusivity). To the employed solid/liquid ratios, the values the diffusivity at short times were smaller than the corresponding values at long times and were in range obtained to diffusivity of organic solutes in activated carbon. The effective diffusivity was found to better represent the process than the diffusivity determined at short times, indicating that diffusivity depends on solute concentration in solid.
