The objective of this work is to evaluate the performance and feasibility of the use of coating mortars with the incorporation of ground polyethylene terephthalate (PET) waste. It was studied the performance of 1: 4 mortars in weight with partial replacement of the aggregate by PET residuals in...

This paper establishes the performance characteristics of convective–radiative longitudinal fins of rectangular, trapezoidal and concave parabolic profiles with simultaneous variation of thermal conductivity, heat transfer coefficient and surface emissivity with temperature. The convection and...

Expressions for zeroth, second and fourth sum rules of longitudinal and bulk stress auto correlation functions have been derived for binary fluid mixtures. Longitudinal and bulk viscosities of an Ar–Kr mixture have been calculated using Mori's memory function formalism coupled with the sum...

Measurements of the electrical resistivity as a function of temperature, ρ(T), for different values of applied magnetic field, B<Subscript>a</Subscript> (0 ≤ B<Subscript>a</Subscript> ≤ 50 mT), were performed in polycrystalline samples of Bi<Subscript>1.65</Subscript>Pb<Subscript>0.35</Subscript>Sr<Subscript>2</ Subscript>Ca<Subscript>2</Subscript> Cu<Subscript>3</Subscript>O<Subscript>10+δ</Subscript> subjected to different uniaxial compacting pressure (UCP).

We study thermoelectric effects in superconducting nanobridges and demonstrate that the magnitude of these effects can be comparable or even larger than that for a macroscopic circuit. It is shown that a large gradient of the electron temperature can be realistically created on a nanoscale and...

We propose a new approach of smearing origins of a zero-bias conductance peak (ZBCP) in high-T<Subscript>c</Subscript> superconductor tunnel junctions through the analysis based on the circuit theory for a d-wave pairing symmetry. The circuit theory has been recently developed from conventional superconductors to...</subscript>

We review the use of superconductors as a playground for the experimental study of front roughening and avalanches. Using the magneto-optical technique, the spatial distribution of the vortex density in the sample is monitored as a function of time. The roughness and growth exponents...
