The flow in boundary layer is considered to be generated solely by the stretching of the sheet adjacent to porous medium with boundary wall slip condition. Highly nonlinear momentum and thermal boundary layer equations governing the flow and heat transfer are reduced to set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations by appropriate transformation. The resulting ODEs are successfully solved numerically with the help of shooting method. Graphical results are shown for non-dimensional velocities and temperature. The effects of heat generation/absorption parameter, the porous parameter, the viscoelastic parameter, velocity slip parameter, variable thermal conductivity and the Prandtl number on the flow and temperature profiles are presented. Moreover, the local skin-friction coefficient and Nusselt number are presented. Comparison of numerical results is made with the earlier published results under limiting cases.展开更多

Aqueous α- Al2O3 slurries with up to 50% solid contents (volume fraction) were prepared. The sedimentation of slurries during centrifugation was discussed with respect to the hydronamic conditions at large particle concentrations. The effect of solid contents on mass segregation was observed. Segregation phenomena were hindered for slurries with high solid loadings exceeding 50% (volume fraction). The dried and sintered behaviors of samples were analyzed. The cell struts in green bodies had good particles packing and showed high green density (63.4% theory density). After sintered at 1500 ℃, the cell struts of final products had high sintered density (98.8% theory density) and homogeneous microstructure. The porosity of final products is 75.6%展开更多
