The problem was solved for two main cases. In the first case, heat generation was assumed variable by fin temperature for a solid fin and in second heat generation varied with temperature for a porous fin. Results are presented for the temperature distribution for a range of values of parameters appearing in the mathematical formulation(e.g. N, εG, and G). Results reveal that DTM is very effective and convenient. Also, it is found that this method can achieve more suitable results in comparison to numerical methods.展开更多

Li1.05Mn1.95O4 powder obtained by heat treating the precursor at 430 °C for 12 h and then calcining at 800 °C for 12 h shows an excellent cycling performance with an initial charge capacity of 118.2 mA·h·g-1 obtained at 0.5C rate and 93.8% of its original value retained after 100 cycles.展开更多
