Further information on liquid-metal heat transfer in tube banks is given by Hsu for spheres and elliptical rod bundles [Int. J. Heat Mass Transfer, 8, 303 (1965)] and by Kahsh and Dwyer for oblique flow across tube banks [Int. ]. Heat Ma.ss Transfer, 10, 1533 (1967)]. For additional details of heat transfer with liqmd metals for various systems see Dwyer (1968 ed., Na and Nak supplement to Liquid Metals Handbook) and Stein ( Liquid Metal Heat Transfer, in Advances in Heat Transfer, vol. 3, Academic, New York, 1966). 

Iron (Fe) is the most popularly used metal for various objectives. Though Fe is oxidized only very slowly in air to form iron oxides, the reaction rate increases drastically with increasing temperature. Fe powder is used to generate heat in various applications, including fireworks.

It has often been observed that catalytic samples having the same qualitative composition (for instance, platinum on alumina) but differing in preparation mode, show pronounced dissimilarities in catalytic behavior. Different methods of preparation will yield catalysts differing in crystallite size, crystallite size distribution and shape of the metal crystals. Since 1969, an important work on the statistics of surface atoms and surface sites on metal crystals was undertaken by van Hardeveld and Hartog [14]. In the mean time, a considerable amount of work started to determine the specific rates, rates per unit surface area of metal, for various reactions and in parallel, improvement of chemisorption techniques to determine the surface area of a metal component was achieved. 

In the area of lubrication, Fantesk starch-oil composites have been investigated for applications in oil well drilling [34] and as dry-film metalworking lubricants [35, 36]. Dry-film lubricants are those that are preapplied on sheet metal for various... 

For applications in heterogeneous catalysis, perovskites generally comprise a lanthanide (La is the most common) in the A site and a transition metal (Mn, Co, etc.) in the B site. The efficiency of such perovskite oxides, with or without cationic substitution, is well documented for a variety of catalytic reactions [2-9]. Actually, the specific catalytic activities of perovskites were sometimes found to be comparable to that of noble metals for various oxidation reactions. Early on, Arai et al. illustrated the activity of strontium-substituted LaMnOs, which was found to be superior to that of Pt/alumina catalysts at a conversion level below 80% [5]. Several authors have also discussed the application of La-based perovskite oxides as catalysts for volatile organic compound (VOC) oxidation (see, for example. Refs [10-14]). Zhang et al. have also shown that some perovskite oxides substituted with Pd or Cu are also good catalysts for the reduction of NO by CsHg [15-18] and by CO [19,20]. More recently, Kim et al. studied the effect of Sr substitution in LaCoOs and LaMnOs perovskites for diesel oxidation (DOC) and lean NO, trap (LNT) processes [9]. The observations made by these authors clearly indicate that the perovskites used in their study could efficiently outperform Pt-based catalysts. Typically, Lai. Sr cCoOs catalysts achieved higher...

Polymers and polymer composites have been increasinqly used in place of metals for various industries namely, aerospace, automotive, bio-medical, computer, electrophotography, fiber, and rubber tire. Thus, an understanding of the interactions between polymers and between a polymer and a rigid counterface can enhance the applications of polymers under various environments. In meeting this need, polymer tribology has evolved to deal with friction, lubrication and wear of polymeric materials and to answer some of the problems related to polymer-polymer interactions or oolymer-rigid body interactions. 

For example, assume that a pond is contaminated with metals. One goal of the ecological risk assessment is to identify if a known sensitive aquatic species (e.g., freshwater shrimp) is impacted by the concentrations of metals in the pond. This shrimp is a source of food for predatory fish in the pond, and therefore its abundance is linked to the health of the community. Literature values could be used to identify safe concentrations of metals for various species, but not for the specific one of interest at our site. These could be used and extrapolated to the target species, which introduces uncertainty into the results. Alternatively, water and/or sediment from the site could be brought into the laboratory and the species of interest could be directly tested for toxicity. These studies are known as bioassays. Results of bioassays are used to develop a protective concentration relevant to the species and site of interest.
