Uniaxial model for a gas loaded variable conductance heat pipe

A new uniaxial model for a gas loaded variable conductance heat pipe (VCHP) is developed. This model takes into account the diffusion at the vapour-gas interface as well as the inertial effects of the moving vapour. Only steady-state conditions are considered. The generally accepted Edwards /Marcus model will be shown to be a first order...

Hydrogen embrittlement of the circumferentially notched round specimen

Delayed failure test results for hydrogenated and cadmium plated specimens, tested by Johnson, Korlet and Troiano, have been analyzed on the basis of equations developed by the author. It is found that in a non-homogeneous stress field the hydrogen diffuses to and accumulates at the elastic-plastic interface. The local hydrogen concentration...
