This leads to a significant reduction in the number of production stages and increased material yield by producing a near-net-shape product [5].
The relative density was measured 8 times to ensure data accuracy and the average was taken as the actual relative density value.
The data obtained was further simplified by using X’pert High Score Plus software.
Furthermore, the test was repeated eight times to ensure data accuracy whilst the arithmetic mean of the eight successive indentations was taken as the actual hardness value.
The pores were further quantified, and the data obtained was discussed with respect to the relative density, microhardness and predicted yield strength properties for the sintered alloys in section 3.7.

Introduction Renewable power generation costs, particularly from solar and wind, have decreased significantly over the past 13-15 years, making them cost-competitive with fossil fuels in many regions, and a reduction of 89 % to $0.04/kWh was observed in the global average cost of electricity generated by solar PV [1].
Description of the Study Area The study was conducted in the Ethiopian Amhara region, at the town of Dangishta as shown in the Fig. 1a and the climate data of the site is depicted in Fig. 1b, with yearly average energy of 2334.3 kWh/m2.

The precipitation of oxygen in silicon wafers without MDZ control is a very complex mixture of effects mixing together both the 10 12 1013 10 6 10 7 10 8 10 9 1010 1011 Measurement Fit using Data between 108 and 1010 cm-3 [OPD] ≈ ([Pt] / 2.19 1010) 3.838 Oxygen Precipitation Density (cm -3 ) Vacancy Concentration (cm -3 ) Figure 2: Oxygen precipitate densities produced following test heat-treatments (800 °C, 4 hours + 1000C 16 hours) as a function of wafer vacancy concentration.
This can then be further broken down using data from vacancy profile analysis.
With an essential reduction in CIs, the bulk vacancy concentration can increase significantly.
Other important features of the data are the very strong dependence of the rate of increase of the density of observable particles on the final saturated density and on the oxygen concentration.
The unknown parameters of this dependence can be deduced from the available data on the platelet production (obtained by TEM) as well as on the onset of gettering.

In Algeria, sediment deposition in hydraulic structures like dams and reservoirs is estimated, on average, at 20 million m3 per year [4] which engenders a storage capacity reduction of 0.3% per year of the total capacity which is estimated at 6.2 billion m3.The recorded specific degradations are within the range between 1000 and 5000 t / km2/ year [5].
The diffraction data were interpreted with the software TOPAS.
In addition, the XRD data were collected between 8 and 65°/2θ. 2.3 Specimen preparation and mechanical performance tests: The properties, such as grain size, chemical activity and dry density, of the two types of raw materials are expected to be clearly different, depending on their origin.
The data from the laboratory experiments were analyzed in order to draw the graph representing the relationship between the optimum moisture content (OMC) and the maximum dry density (MDD) for each specimen. 2.3.3 The Californian bearing ratio: The Californian bearing ratio (CBR) is among the most important geotechnical parameters used for designing pavement layers in road construction.
The XRD analysis of the data obtained from the CTS patterns (Fig. 4) shows a predominance of calcite peaks, followed by smaller peaks of quartz, kaolinite, albite, and dolomite.

Comparison of the velocity data of the present work with Akbarinia and Behzadmehr [35].
The average Nusselt number data presented in Table 4 shows its strict increase as a function of the Reynolds number.
The increase percentage reaches 40% for a mixed convection corresponding to Ri = 0.1 compared to a purely forced convection, see the data in Table 5.
In effect, a reduction that reaches 21% with the application of a magnetic field with Ha = 50 compared to the case of its absence (Ha = 0), see Table 6.
According to the actual data, copper oxide nanoparticles are 22% more expensive than alumina, as shown in Table 8.

Based on the present data, the utilization and promotion of LNG will explosively grow.
During the 16th International Maritime Exhibition in China, energy-saving emission reduction issue in shipping is an industry-wide concern.

The signals from the accelerometer and the hammer are transferred to a PC by data acquisition NI-6009 interfaced with LABVIWE software.
Response Surface Method Based on the fact that design parameters play an important role in determent of the vibration characteristic of honeycomb sandwich structure, response surface method (RSM) was employed to study the influence of the design parameters on natural frequency and damping ratio, obtaining optimal parameter and develop a mathematical model based on numerical data.
The increasing of face thickness from (0.3 to 1) mm leads to increase in the natural frequency 39.34 % but causes a reduction of damping ratio by about 26 % for specific value of core height and cell angle equal to 10 mm and 200 respectively. 4.

Experimental data show that the efficiency of these dynamic parameters may be raised if we take care of some effects (boundary layer along the nozzle walls and a local high-pressure region) that occur when the gas-powder mixture moves in the supersonic nozzle and when the jet impinges on the substrate.
However, the velocity reduction within the elliptical flow is relatively small, at a maximum of roughly 20 m/s.
Fig. 8 CFD data, showing contours of density, for the bow shock at different standoff distances when using the helium nozzle at 2.0 MPa and 20 °C. [32] Pattison et al [32] studied the behavior of bow shock by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), particle image velocimetry and schlieren imaging.
Gartner et al [25] consider mechanical and thermal influences, and a comparatively modified simple expression for the critical velocity for bonding (in a system of identical particle and substrate materials) could be supplied (in SI units), giving a good estimate for favorable spray conditions: (12) Respective data concerns tensile strength (σTS), density (ρ), specific heat (cp) and melting temperature (Tm).
The high velocities attained in converging-diverging, De Laval type nozzles of recent HVOF designs allowed a further reduction of particle temperatures.

In [4] it was demonstrated with the help of a large data-set that the simulation of experimental EFGs in most cases already has converged, when the adding of ion-charges stops at 50 Angstroms distance.
The data have been recorded at a measuring temperature of 973 K.
The red line in the perturbation function is the fit to the data, the red line in the Fourier spectrum is the Fourier-transform of this fit-function.
But also the stoichiometry may change in a phase transition, as it happens during oxidation- or reduction-reactions.
The data show 111In/111Cd-probes in Ag2O [20].

A direct comparison of the two data sets is not possible since the different tracer atoms (Au in Ref. [39] and Ni in Ref. [40]) were used and the measurements were performed in different regimes of interface diffusion.
In our recent work [24] we have argued that it is the diffusion coefficient of relaxed high-angle GBs, as they are present in well-annealed high purity polycrystalline Ni, which has to be used in order to obtain the data that fit to the experimental observations of the relaxation times of ECAP-processed UFG Ni.
It was shown that rolling to 80% and 90% of total reduction of Ni at room temperature does not induce deformationmodified state of GBs similar to that in observed in ECAP-processed Ni.
Since recrystallization is accompanied by GB recovery, GB diffusion coefficients on the level of those measured in annealed coarse-grained polycrystals were expected, in obvious contradiction to the experimental data.
A recent compilation of the published data on the diffusional GB width in polycrystalline materials is given in Ref. [56].
