Experimental Study on CHF Limit of Cr-coated Fuel Cladding under High Temperature and High Pressure Flow Condition by FAN Guanhua, FANG Qifei, YAO Xi, PENG Zhenxun, GUO Ming, CHEN Senyang, LYU Lulu, ZHANG Ge, SU Qianhua, LU Donghua

“…The main parameters that affect the CHF experimental result are inlet temperature, inlet flow rate, outlet pressure and the rod structure parameters. In order to avoid the influence of factors other than the chromium coating on the experimental results, ensure that the external diameter, length and surface roughness of the heater rods (Cr-coated and conventional surfaces) are excactly the same. …”

Chalcolithic stamp seals from Tepe Gheshlagh, and a look into their application in ownership and exchange systems by Mahnaz Sharifi, Abbas Motarjem

“…With a descriptive-analytical method, an attempt was made to expound on Gheshlagh’s glyptic assemblage that attest to the existence of an ownership system and commercial exchanges. A structural analysis of the glyptic iconography suggested that each of the linear, circular, or repeating patterns were less mere personal insignias intended to exclude the possibility of alteration or forgery than they were marks belonging to a pre-literate system where each sign/symbol stood for individual commodity types that were transported or exchanged as such. …”
