Engineering the surface texture and shape of channels in ceramic substrates

摘要: Abstract Ceramic/ceramic joining can transform surface channels on a ceramic subcomponent into an interior channel. Interior have number of potential uses in advanced applications, including application as conduits variety fluids, such fuel, medicine, or cooling fluids. For fluids particular, the texture and shape channel greatly affect its heat transfer fluid flow characteristics. This paper explores means “engineering” textures shapes channels, fabrication with circular non-circular cross-sections well smooth textured walls (and combination regions). The microstructure is analyzed using laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM). Although LSCM has been used extensively biological studies, this study one first studies to apply tool characterize three-dimensional materials.
