Steady State Vapor Bubble in Pool Boiling

February 3, 2016
Author(s)
An Zou, Ashish Chanana, Amit Agrawal, Peter C. Wayner, Jr., Shalabh C. Maroo
Boiling, a dynamic and multiscale process, has been studied for over five decades; however, a comprehensive understanding of the process is still lacking. The bubble ebullition cycle, which involves nucleation, growth and departure, happens over a very

Technical Report of Range-BASF Program

February 2, 2016
Author(s)
Leonid A. Bendersky, Kwo-hsiung Young, Simon K. Ng
The goal of the RANGE-BASF Program is to provide an alternative solution for the energy storage media that powers electric vehicles other than the existing Li-ion battery. With the use of a rare-earth free metal hydride as the active negative electrode

Using Combinatorial Testing to Build Navigation Graphs for Dynamic Web Applications

February 2, 2016
Author(s)
Wenhua Wang, Sreedevi Sampath, Yu Lei, Raghu Kacker, David Kuhn, James F. Lawrence
Modelling a software system is often a challenging prerequisite to automatic test case generation. Modelling the navigation structure of a dynamic web application is particularly challenging because of the presence of a large number of pages that are

Firebrand Production from Building Components Fitted with Siding Treatments

February 1, 2016
Author(s)
Samuel Manzello, Sayaka Suzuki
Firebrand production from real-scale building components under well-controlled laboratory conditions was investigated. Re-entrant corner assemblies were ignited and during the combustion process, firebrands were collected to determine the size/mass

Large-Signal-Network-Analyzer Round Robin

February 1, 2016
Author(s)
Dylan F. Williams, Paul D. Hale, Catherine A. Remley, Gustavo Avolio, Dominique Schreurs, Diogo C. Ribeiro, Pawel Barmuta, Gian Piero Gibiino, Mohammad Rajabi, Arkadiusz Lewandowski, Jaros?aw Szatkowski, Kuangda Wang
This paper describes tests of the calibration-comparison method as an approach to assessing the measurement accuracy of large-signal network analyzer calibrations. We show that having one trusted reference calibration allows the calibration accuracy of the

Minimally destructive, Doppler measurement of a quantized, superfluid flow

February 1, 2016
Author(s)
Avinash Kumar, Neil Anderson, William D. Phillips, Stephen P. Eckel, Gretchen K. Campbell, Sandro Stringari
The Doppler effect, the shift in the frequency of sound due to motion, is present in both classical gases and quantum superfluids. Here, we perform an in-situ, minimally destructive measurement, of the persistent current in a ring-shaped, superfluid Bose

Nanoscale Constraints on Porosity Generation and Fluid Flow during Serpentinization

February 1, 2016
Author(s)
Benjamin Tutolo, David F. Mildner, Cedric V. Gagnon, Martin O. Saar, Jr. Seyfried
Field samples of olivine-rich rocks are nearly always serpentinized¿often to completion¿but, paradoxically, their intrinsic porosity and permeability are diminishingly low. Serpentinization reactions occur through a coupled process of fluid infiltration

On the Solidification of Multicomponent Alloys

February 1, 2016
Author(s)
William J. Boettinger
Various topics taken from the author's research portfolio that involve multicomponent alloy solidification will be reviewed. Topics include: ternary eutectic solidification and Scheil-Gulliver paths in ternary systems. A case study of the solidification of

Reference Module in Materials Science and Materials Engineering MATS 01908

February 1, 2016
Author(s)
Randolph E. Elmquist, Anthony Hartland
The cryogenic current comparator is used to maintain national representations of the ohm based on the quantized Hall resistance standard. The measurement technique utilizes the Meissner effect to establish accurate resistance ratios with specialized

THE INDOOR ENVIRONMENTAL SIDE OF RESILIENCE

February 1, 2016
Author(s)
Andrew K. Persily, Steven J. Emmerich
NIST is developing a framework to define programs and strategies to increase community-based resilience in the face of a broad range of natural disasters and other extreme events. Many of these events will affect indoor environmental quality either through

Adsorption, X-ray Diffraction, Photoelectron, and Atomic Emission Spectroscopy Benchmark Studies for the Eighth Industrial Fluid Properties Simulation Challenge

January 31, 2016
Author(s)
Daniel Siderius, Vincent K. Shen, Raymond D. Mountain, Richard B. Ross, David B. Aeschliman, Riaz Ahmad, John K. Brennan, Myles L. Brostrom, Kevin A. Frankel, Jonathan D. Moore, Joshua D. Moore, Derrick M. Poirier, Matthias Thommes, Nathan E. Schultz, Kenneth D. Smith
The primary goal of the eighth industrial fluid properties simulation challenge was to test the ability of molecular simulation methods to predict the adsorption of organic adsorbates in activated carbon materials. The challenge focused, in particular, on
