Engineering: environmental fluids

...is called the troposphere. Above 11 km the temperature stays the same at about –56.5 °C for increasing heights. This region is the stratosphere, and the height at which the constant temperature starts is the isothermal height (sometimes isothermal level), also known as the tropopause. At far greater altitudes there is more variation but because the air is so thin by then the concept of atmospheric temperature does not mean ......

Isothermal precision forging

...C below the forging temperature using cartridge or induction heaters (e.g. ~ 750°C for titanium alloys). Dies are sprayed with die lubricant or parting agents. No lubricant is used for Ti alloys (surface oxides are used as a tenacious oxide). Preform is heated to the forging temperature, placed between the heated dies and forged at slow rates of 10-3–10-2 s-1....
