Thermostructural Analysis of Plate-Type Heat Exchanger Prototypes Considering Weld Properties by Kee-nam Song, Sung-deok Hong

“…Welded plate-type heat exchanger prototypes made of Hastelloy-X alloy were manufactured, and performance tests on the prototypes were performed in a small-scale nitrogen gas loop at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute. Owing to a lack of mechanical properties in the weld zone, previous research on the strength analyses of the prototypes was performed using the parent material properties. …”

Computational Investigation of the Electronic and Optical Properties of Planar Ga-Doped Graphene by Nicole Creange, Costel Constantin, Jian-Xin Zhu, Alexander V. Balatsky, Jason T. Haraldsen

“…Using density functional theory with a local density approximation, we simulate the electronic band structure and show the effects of impurity doping (0–3.91%) in graphene on the electron density, refractive index, optical conductivity, and extinction coefficient for each doping percentage. Here, gallium atoms are placed randomly (using a 5-point average) throughout a 128-atom sheet of graphene. …”
