Electrocoalescence of aqueous droplets in oil emulsions is commonly contemplated for enhancing separation. High voltage electric fields can induce charges to drops evoking merging adjacent droplets. The newly formed larger then sink faster gravitational common settlers. Therefore, separation performance an electrostatic coalescer strictly linked characteristics the field and properties liquid–liquid system. In this work, coalescence water sinking dodecane at a pulsed DC investigated. An...
The susceptibility of concrete structures due to alkali–silica reaction (ASR) can be assessed by means ASR prism testing at 60 °C, according RILEM AAR 4.1. There, expansion prisms indicates alkali-reactivity the examined mix. This work applies in situ measurement accelerated testing. Automated measuring facilitates both storage without usually necessary interruptions for manual and acquisition quasi-continuous data. A comparative experimental programme showed that conventional resulted...
Abstract During the service life of structural sealant glazing (SSG) facades, load‐bearing capacity silicone bonds needs to be guaranteed. Laboratory tests can assess durability SSG‐systems based on mechanical characteristics bond after simultaneous exposure both climatic and loads. This article studies how material two common sealants are affected by laboratory field exposure. Dynamic analysis (DMA) confirms a reduction in dynamic modulus exposed samples. Results from thermogravimetric...
During the service life of a Structural Sealant Glazing (SSG) facade, its silicone bond is simultaneously exposed to climatic and mechanical loads. Current durability assessment methods yet schedule separate test programmes for accelerated weathering loading. This study presents that applies loading weather cycling simulating 50 years use. Two common structural sealants are tested. The behaviour medium-scale system specimens in tension, compression shear recorded performance during exposure....
Abstract Der 60 °C‐Betonversuch ist eine in Deutschland und international verbreitete Methode, um die Empfindlichkeit von Gesteinskörnungen Betonen hinsichtlich einer Alkali‐Kieselsäure‐Reaktion (AKR) zu prüfen. Dieser Beitrag stellt neu entwickelte, automatisierte Variante der Prüfmethode einem Minireaktor vor. Dabei werden Dehnungen Betonprismen nicht wie beim konventionellen Test manuell, sondern automatisch entsprechend ausgerüsteten Prüfbehältern gemessen. Neben Reduzierung des...
