Abstract:
A multi-channel body having excellent heat exchanging effectiveness, gas separating effectiveness and high thermal shock resistance is characterized in that a large number of channels are formed independently by being surrounded with partition walls, said partition walls are connected with partition walls surrounding other independent channels, continuous channels are formed with the partition walls, outer wall and the connecting walls around each channel, and a part of said continuous passages open outward the outer wall and a side face of said continuous passage is integrally and air-tightly sealed with the outer wall at at least one end face where the channels open.
Abstract:
A process for producing ultrafine particles of a ceramic, which comprises heating a ceramic having substantially the same components as the final ultrafine ceramic particles, a metal constituting the metal component of the final ultrafine ceramic particles, a mixture of said ceramic with said metal or carbon, or a mixture of said metal with carbon by an arc plasma or a high frequency induction plasma generated in hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, a gaseous mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen, or a gaseous mixture of nitrogen and oxygen.
Abstract:
A ceramic surface-metallic core particle composite fine powder material is disclosed, composed of fine particles each having a metallic core and a ceramic surface layer, in which the average value of the ratio of the thickness of the surface layer of a powder particle to the radius of the particle is subtantially greater than 0.05. A method and an apparatus for making this material from core metal and a gas which combines with the core metal to form the ceramic outer layer are also described, in which a gaseous mixture of vapor of the core metal and the gas is passed through a convergent-divergent nozzle and is thereby rapidly cooled by adiabatic expansion so that the core metal as it solidifies forms metal cores for fine particles while the gas reacts with the outer layers of these particles to form ceramic surface layers.
Abstract:
In a method of manufacturing parts or powders made of a compound of silicon or of a metal by exothermally reacting parts or powders of silicon or a metal in the solid state with a gas, wherein the differential flow rate or the pressure variation of the reactive gas in contact with the part or the powder is sensed, and the reaction is performed at increasing temperatures as a function of the said differential flow rate or pressure of the reactive gas:the improvement wherein a maximum differential flow rate or a maximum speed of pressure drop of the reactive gas is predetermined as a function of the chemical nature of the parts or powders, and optionally as a function of the density and the size of the parts, and the rise in temperature is suspended when the differential flow rate or the speed of pressure drop of the reactive gas reaches the predetermined maximum value, beyond which the reaction would run away and prevent complete transformation of the parts or the powders being obtained.
Abstract:
A reactor for chlorinating rubber has an inlet opening which closely surrounds the rubber material entering the reactor therethrough, and hence any tendency for escape of chlorine is countered by absorption of that chlorine by the entering completely non-chlorinated rubber. The chlorinated rubber emerging from the outlet opening of the chamber is immersed in water before leaving the reactor and hence the outlet is sealed, by the water, against escape of the chlorine treatment gas. The rubber and chlorine displacements through the reactor are counter current to one another.
Abstract:
A plasma processor comprising a plasma generating chamber which has a plasma outflow port, an evacuated plasma processing chamber which receives therein a member to be processed, such as a semiconductor substrate, and coaxial magnet means to form coaxial magnetic fields for transporting plasma from the plasma outflow port of the plasma generating chamber to the member to be processed, the distance between the plasma outflow port and the member to be processed being made shorter than the mean free path of gas remaining in the plasma processing chamber.
Abstract:
