Abstract: The physical and chemical processes that occur typically within and around an oil sand fragment are considered when the fragment is suddenly introduced into a hot, low-uniform velocity, gaseous ...

Abstract: Measurements have been made of the effective thermal conductivity of some samples of oil sands using a transient technique over the relatively wide temperature range of −100°C to 200°C ...

Abstract: The behavior of tar sand fragments, molded into either slabs or spheres, was examined when exposed to low-velocity streams of the products of combustion of lean CH4 -air mixtures, at temperatures ...

Abstract: We present a rapid and simple evaluation of an individual's ability to control exertions in quasi-isometric conditions. This evaluation is based on a closed loop that consists mainly of a single-axis force measurement ...

Abstract: The behavior of small oil sand samples was monitored experimentally when subjected repeatedly to low-velocity heated air streams, with either prompt quenching or slow cooling of the samples to ...

Abstract: The precision, accuracy, coordination, and dexterity in hand strength are seen as adequate aspects to determine an individual's status and progress. In an attempt to explore those aspects, a cylindrical bar design-based ...
