Investigation on effect of time dependent surface chloride concentration on apparent average chloride diffusion coefficient in concrete

The error function solution of Fick’s second law assumes the constant surface chloride concentration, when it is used to calculate the apparent average chloride diffusion coefficient in concrete during the exposure period. However, the surface chloride concentration in concrete often vary with time. The purpose of this study is to investigate...

Junction temperature and luminous flux prediction for white LED array based on electrical-photo-thermal modeling

During the operation of an LED array, its thermal and optical performances are always not equal to the superposition of the individual LED's characteristics because of a significant thermal coupling effect between the arrays. Based on this, this paper proposes an electrical–photo-thermal model, with considering both junction temperature and...

Enhancing luminous flux and color rendering of laser-excited YAG:Ce³⁺ single crystal phosphor plate via surface roughening and low-temperature sintering a CaAlSiN₃:Eu²⁺ phosphor-in-borate glass

Y₃Al₅O₁₂:Ce³⁺ (YAG:Ce³⁺) single crystal phosphor (SCP) exhibits high internal quantum efficiency (IQE) and excellent thermal conductivity and stability. Such properties are promising in high-power laser-excited white lighting applications. However, YAG:Ce³⁺ SCP usually shows...
