Excerpts

Its effect on surface temperature is quite significant during the day but at night, due to low heat capacity of the plaster layer, the stored heat is quickly lost and the temperature rises only slightly.

From the experimental results obtained, the following conclusions can be drawn: The fresh properties of the developed mixes showed a decreasing trend with the increases in silica fume and RCA and with the inclusion of steel fibres.

According to Figure 9 a the OP-TMF life of the reference material, Esshete 1250, does not show a clear trend when the material is aged before OP-TMF testing.

In addition, OC (3rd column in Table 4 ) shows a clear trend, as it increases when the amount of SFG increases.

It can be seen that both curves have an increasing trend, which correlated with the increase in nano-reinforcement content.

In the case of k 2 and h coefficient values, there was an increasing trend of these parameters in the following series: La(III) > Pr(III) > Nd(III) > Ce(III).

Upon adding both reinforcements to Al matrix to form a hybrid nanocomposite, an interesting trend was observed.

Figure 2 a–d highlights a significant trend.

The averaged diameter size examined with a help of ImageJ software shows a decreasing trend with increasing homogenization time.

It can be seen that with temperature increasing from RT to 550 °C, the UTS and hardness of the steel show a decreasing trend overall, although the UTS decreases more, while the hardness only slightly decreases.

In this subject an increasing trend was observed in recent years, focusing on thermal conductivity, temperature distribution, heat flux analysis, water system temperatures, setpoint optimization, and energy consumption reduction [ 9 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 ].

The relationship between micro-pore structure and compressive strength suggested that with the decrease of open porosity, the compressive strength showed an increasing trend.

Meanwhile, as the initial concentration gradually increased, the concentration of sodium ions rose and the viscosity of the solution increased, so that the content of each impurity in the product showed an increasing trend after the concentration exceeded 60 g L −1 . 3.1.2.

Though the difference between the number of breaks in the fibre appears small, a t -test shows that it is still highly significant.

While in the case of α = 45°, there was an increasing trend in the backward liquid leakage rate with increasing clearance.

Conclusions At each experimental temperature, wear rate essentially kept an increasing trend with applied load, and wear rate-applied load curve can be divided into two stages: a gradually increasing and maintaining plateau stage and a fast increasing and/or maintaining high-level plateau stage.

For the two different deformation methods, the equivalent strain values of the three regions all showed a trend of gradual decrease from the inner wall to the outer wall.

As t 8/5 increased, an increasing trend in cleavage-element size was observed.

This feature is particularly relevant in the low pH range, between 2 and 6, while at higher pH values, the surface charge fluctuation is minor but maintains a decreasing trend.

These results demonstrate a clear trend, with significantly lower vanadium amounts than expected based on the nominal values at higher vanadium loadings.

This figure shows an overall trend of the first compression and then dilation occurring for most specimens with relatively high density.

At the same pH, with the gradual increase of concentration, the total energy, elastic strain energy, and dissipated energy corresponding to the peak strength show a decreasing trend.

The friction noise value of the TPU modified with 3% PTFE also had an increasing trend, which conformed to the high COF during this period (see Figure 4 a).

The friction noise value of the TPU modified with 9% PTFE particles still exhibited a decreasing trend due to the decreasing trend of the COF shown in Figure 4 a.

This would explain a general decrease in strength with increasing fiber size, an overall trend also previously observed for other types of fibers [ 15 , 66 , 67 ].
