View Factor Orientation (or View factor or shape factor) plays an important role in radiation heat transfer. View factor is defined as, "fraction of radiation leaving surface 'i' and strike 'j' ". Summation Rule (View Factor) If there is are similar surfaces 'i' and 'j' , then: Blackbody Radiation Exchange Radiation Exchange between Opaque, Diffuse, Gray surfaces in an Enclosure 1. Opaque 2. Surfaces 3. Two surface enclosure Radiation Shield It is used to protect surfaces from radiation act like a reflective surface.

Nano-Materials

Nano-Materials 

It is defined as, "materials having size of individual building blocks less than 100 nm".
  • Bulk gold  ↔  have no catalytic properties but Au-Nanocrystal  ↔  excellent low temperature catalyst.
Why Nano-materials?
At nanoscale strange things happen to materials and their properties may change.
  1. Reactivity  ↔  smaller particles react differently with their environment than larger particles.
  2. Size  ↔  have different optical and reflection properties.
  3. Magnetism  ↔  have different magnetic properties.

Nanomaterials Synthesis Technique

It includes design and preparation of nanomaterials with high functionality (i.e. to fabricate nanoparticles with suitable properties).
Synthesis involves the control of size, shape, structure and composition and purity of constituents.
  1. Method of synthesis
  2. Growth Kinetics

1. Method of Synthesis

Two approaches are used:

a. Top-Down Approach

  • Refers to slicing or cutting of bulk materials.
  • Biggest problem is imperfection of structure surface.
  • It involves cutting, grinding, ball milling of solid state.

b. Bottom-Up Approach

  • Refers to build-up of material from bottom, atom-by-atom, molecule-by-molecule or cluster-by-cluster.
  • Better chance to obtain nanostructures with less defects, more homogenous chemical composition.
  • Physical Vapor Disposition Technique (PVD) ↔ involves evaporation, sputtering, plasma arcing, laser ablation.

2. Growth Kinetics

Synthesis of nanoparticles is a combination of two stages: Nucleation and Growth.
  • Nucleation  ↔  in which nuclei (seeds) act as templates for crystal growth.

Properties of Nano-Particles

  1. Catalytic  ↔  Better catalytic efficiency through higher surface to volume ratio.
  2. Electrical  ↔  Increase electrical conductivity in Ceramics. Increase electrical resistance in Metals.
  3. Magnetic  ↔  Increase magnetic coercivity up to a critical grain size, super paramagnetism.
  4. Mechanical  ↔  Improve hardness and toughness in metals and alloys and ductility and super-plasticity in Ceramics.

Corrections Of Tape

TAPING CORRECTIONS There are two types of corrections depending upon the type of errors in tape due to the different conditions.  1. Systematic Errors : Slope Erroneous tape length Temperature Tension Sag 2. Random Errors : Slope  Alignment Marking & Plumbing Temperature Tension & Sag 1. Temperature Correction  It is necessary to apply this correction, since the length of a tape is increased as its temperature is raised, and consequently, the measured distance is too small.  It is given by the formula,                         C t  = 𝛼 (T m  – T o )L Where,   C t  = the correction for temperature, in m.      𝛼 = the coefficient of thermal expansion.    T m  = the mean temperature during measurement.          T o  = the tempe...

Introduction To Solid Mechanics

Solid Mechanics OR Mechanics of Materials OR Strength of Materials: It is the study of mechanics of body i.e. forces and their effects on deformable solids under different loading conditions. Deformable Body Mechanics: It is the study of non-rigid solid structures which deform under load. Deformation/Distortion  ⇾ change of shape and size OR have some relative displacement or rotation of particles. It happens when we apply combined load. Rigid Body Motion  ⇾ Translation or rotation of particles but having constant distance between particles. Since deformation occur at particular load. Below this load, every body is considered as rigid body . Types of Load: Point Load   ⇾  Load apply on a single point i.e. concentrated load. Uniformly Distributed Load (UDL)   ⇾  Load remains uniform throughout an area of element like beam. Varying Distributed Load (VDL)   ⇾  Load varies with length with constant rate. Moment   ⇾  It measures the tend...
