In the current study a ternary Cu-Ge-Sb system has been experimentally assessed. Chemical andphase compositions of the alloy samples from three vertical sections Cu-GeSb, Ge-CuSb and Sb-CuGe were studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy(EDS) and confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD). Hardness of th...

A reliable operation of the equipment is primarily important for each installation. One of the measures of safe operation steam-boiler systems is purity pipes. Very acceptable method of determining the soiling pipe is a method of staining.In this paper is described the determination of soiling boiler tubes in power plant Ugljevik after a decade of ...

Use of water for recreation or treatment of very it’s very important to maintain health and working capacity of the population. A significant number of people temporarily or permanently, used pools for that purpose. That is why today, in the developed countries, great attention is paid to the quality of water for recreation. The aim of this w...

In this study the 3D surface model was successfully applied in investigating the influence of theprocess parameters on the physical and mechanical properties of the glass-ceramics. Glassceramicswas produced from coal fly ash and waste glass through the sintering method. The rawmaterial was taken from “REK Bitola”, a thermal power plant ...

Based on relations for the maximum work at the closed thermodynamic system, the paper presents implementation of a general model for determining the minimum storage volume for compressed air. Due to the mechanical and thermodynamic imbalance of observed model, there are the conditions for obtaining the maximum work. Derived relations, which represe...

Two different studies of the thermal aging of polyesters based on lactic and glycolic acidswere compared. Thermal degradation of poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA), poly(L-lactic acid-co-glycolicacid) (PLLGA) and poly(DL-lactic acid-co-glycolic acid) (PDLGA) was studied by the dielectricthermal analysis (DETA). The aging was performed at 37C in vacuum ove...

Fly ash is useful for a variety of applications, because it is a plaster or silicate or aluminosilicate material which is in an isolated form and in the presence of water is combined with calcium hydroxide (from lime, portland cement or dust from furnaces) and formed mixtures with the characteristics of the binder. In this project analyzed the poss...
