#quartz glass applications

[zvaigzdelasas]

Instead of burning fossil fuels to reach the temperatures needed to smelt steel and cook cement, scientists in Switzerland want to use heat from the sun. The proof-of-concept study uses synthetic quartz to trap solar energy at temperatures over 1,000°C (1,832°F), demonstrating the method’s potential role in providing clean energy for carbon-intensive industries. A paper on the research was published on May 15 in the journal Device.[...]

Glass, steel, cement, and ceramics are at the very heart of modern civilization, essential for building everything from car engines to skyscrapers. However, manufacturing these materials demands temperatures over 1,000°C and relies heavily on burning fossil fuels for heat. These industries account for about 25% of global energy consumption. Researchers have explored a clean-energy alternative using solar receivers, which concentrate and build heat with thousands of sun-tracking mirrors. However, this technology has difficulties transferring solar energy efficiently above 1,000°C.

To boost the efficiency of solar receivers, Casati turned to semitransparent materials such as quartz, which can trap sunlight—a phenomenon called the thermal-trap effect. The team crafted a thermal-trapping device by attaching a synthetic quartz rod to an opaque silicon disk as an energy absorber. When they exposed the device to an energy flux equivalent to the light coming from 136 suns, the absorber plate reached 1,050°C (1,922°F), whereas the other end of the quartz rod remained at 600°C (1,112°F).

“Previous research has only managed to demonstrate the thermal-trap effect up to 170°C (338°F),” says Casati. “Our research showed that solar thermal trapping works not just at low temperatures, but well above 1,000°C. This is crucial to show its potential for real-world industrial applications.”

Using a heat transfer model, the team also simulated the quartz’s thermal-trapping efficiency under different conditions. The model showed that thermal trapping achieves the target temperature at lower concentrations with the same performance, or at higher thermal efficiency for equal concentration. For example, a state-of-the-art (unshielded) receiver has an efficiency of 40% at 1,200°C, with a concentration of 500 suns. The receiver shielded with 300 mm of quartz achieves 70% efficiency at the same temperature and concentration. The unshielded receiver requires at least 1,000 suns of concentration for comparable performance.

Hair:

Hair Care ❤︎︎

Wash Routines:

curly textured: wash and condition every 2-3 weeks, deep condition every 1-2 weeks

straight: wash and condition every 2-3 days, deep condition every 2-3 weeks

Styling ︎❤︎︎

Hair should have a style everyday! At home hairstyling is limitless and really depends on your taste and lifestyle. The everyday woman does her own her once every 1-4 weeks using natural hair products, heat, or other tools.

Professional Stylists:

hair is styled every 1-3 months: uses heat to straighten or curl, extensions to lengthen and add volume, shears to maintain/attain a shape and length

trim ends: every 6-8 weeks

hair color: touched up roughly every 6-8 weeks (depending on how fast your hair is growing and how fast your color will fade)

Silk Press:

after a clarifying wash and deep conditioning, natural hair is straightened using flat iron and/or pressing comb, then usually curled in feathers or pin curls to preserve the style

lasts 3-4 weeks depending on maintenance

preserved by wrapping hair at night, keep hands out of hair, and using a wide toothed comb only

can be further styled with different kind of rollers, or with pin curls

Braids:

afrocentric hairstyles typically done to protect hair while maintaining beauty

lasts 3-8 weeks

styles include knotless braids, faux locs, stitch braids, french braids, etc

Extensions:

hair added to natural hair to enhance length or volume

can be done at home with patience and proper materials

sew-in extensions: (my personal fav) 1-2 months

your natural hair gets braided down flush to your scalp and the bundles are sewn on by the wefts in a flat pattern typically with a section of hair left out to cover the wefts $100-600

microlinks: up to 4 months

i-tip extension is added to hair using micropliers, clippers and loop tool. takes far longer than most extension methods but looks the absolute most natural $500-1000

tape-in extensions: up to a year, touch ups every 4-6 weeks

medical grade tape is used to attach extensions to small sections of hair $200-400

clip-in extensions: 3-6 months

extensions are clipped on by the wefts. the hair itself can last up to six months, but it’s not recommended to sleep, shower, or swim with the extensions in $50-100

Natural Styles:

all last roughly 1-2 weeks at most. allowing hair to completely DRY is crucial for these styles. your natural hair can be further changed in styles like buns, puffs, etc once dry

natural hair essentials: scalp oil, leave in conditioner, detangling brush, wide tooth comb, curling cream, styling gel, edge control and edge brush

wash n’ go

wash and detangle, then use leave in conditioner to keep hair moist. oil on the scalp and ends is recommended for growth and healthy ends

bantu knots

a traditionally african style where the hair is cleanly sectioned (usually parted in a cute pattern) and twisted into knots. style can be worn just like this or taken down for curls

braid/twist out

a specific pattern of curls is achieved after hair is twisted or braided with curl preserving products. end result depends on how big your twists or braids are

roller set

hair is sprayed with water and curl cream applied before roller of your choice is added. hair is left to dry usually overnight for springy well formed curls

Brows and Lashes:

Brow Shaping ❤︎︎

in salon or at home

Waxing - every 3 weeks

Threading- every 2-3 weeks

Razor Shaping - weekly

Brow Enhancement ❤︎︎

Tinting - monthly

can be done at home or by pro in the salon

Microblading - every 1-3 years + annual touch ups, exclusively professional work

cosmetic tattooing using a manual tool with nearly invisible hair-like needles to inject pigment in brows to create your desired brow look

Lash Enhancements ❤︎︎

*done exclusively by professionals

Lifts - every 6 weeks

basically a perm for your lashes to curl them semi-permanently for lashes to appear longer

Lash Extensions - new set every 6-8 weeks, fill ins every 2-3 weeks depending on quality and style

false individual strands of lashes glued to natural lashes to create semi-permanent length and/or volume

lash baths: wet lashes and apply a small amount of gentle cleanser or a “lash bath” to lashes. cleanse lashes and eyelids for about 10 seconds. hold a towel under your eye and use a nozzle bottle to flush soap and bacteria from lashes then dry with a disposable lint free towel. finish by brushing your lashes with a spoolie. daily.

Lash Styles:

Classic: one lash on each fan, thin lashes

Volume: fluffier lashes with more lashes on each fan

Hybrid: uses classic and volume lashes to make an alternated look

Russian: volume lashes made with very thin individuals, 5-6 extensions per natural lash, fanned out look

DIY Lash Extensions - lasts about a week (sometimes longer)

lash fragments or individual wisps are glued either under the lashes or on the lash line. KISS Falscara is a product that makes this concept simple and easy

Nails:

all these services can be done at home with the proper materials and KNOWLEDGE

Classic Manicure ❤︎︎

every 1-2 weeks

nail service that consists of soaking hands in warm soapy water then drying them. nails are trimmed, filed, and buffed. cuticles are pushed back before applying nail polish (base coat, color, top coat), then finally cuticle oil is applied.

nails can be enhanced with rhinestones, glitter, or charms and attached with uv gel or nail glue

my fav styles are pink, cream, white, black and any french tip using those colors

Pedicure ❤︎︎

every 2-4 weeks

sister to the classic manicure, but can be upgraded depending on materials. steps are similar to manicure, except feet are scrubbed and exfoliated before feet are washed and dried to apply nail color

regular polish, acrylic, or gel can be used on toenails

Gel or Shellac Mani ❤︎︎

every 2-3 weeks

same process as the classic manicure, but traditional nail polish is replaced with uv base coat, gel or CND Shellac polish, then uv top coat that’s cured in a UV or LED lamp

longer lasting and more strong/3d than classic mani and is typically removed by soaking in acetone

Apres Gel-X Nails ❤︎︎

every 2-3 weeks

my personal fav at home nails using the artme yoko matsuda nails. after doing a classic mani sans polish, you apply a dehydrator and primer to prep nail for gel. then you apply builder gel to your natural nail and cure. then you apply that same builder to the nail extension after etching it using an electric drill or acetone. marry the gel to your nail and cure. then just shape to your liking and top with uv top coat. tutorial here

Acrylic Nails ❤︎︎

every 2-3 weeks, nails are fully grown out after 6 weeks

manicure done with liquid monomer and acrylic powder to build and extend natural nail, then polished with color or just a top coat if desired

Russian Mani ❤︎︎

every 4-5 weeks

essentially a gel manicure, but more invasive. the eponychium is snipped away so polish can be applied more closely and flush to the cuticle. this aids in visuals and longevity

service is seen as risky because the skin is more susceptible to fungal or bacterial infection. this is actually how i do my nails at home.

Body:

Bathing ❤︎︎

2x daily

self explanatory, we all know how to bathe. i have other posts that talk about my shower and bath routines.

use a gentle cleanser then a scented body wash to complement perfume and smell fresh all day.

if needed, you can use body soaps with actives like aha, bha or retinol to exfoliate or treat skin at night

exfoliation - 2-3x/week. using scrubs, loofahs, bath brushes, etc.

Hair Removal ❤︎︎

shaving - 2-3x/week

waxing - every 3-5 weeks

sugaring - monthly

ipl device - a device that uses light therapy to slowly destroy hair follicles and unwanted pigment in skin. i use mine after every 5-6 shaves but i could really use it more often.

Vajacial ❤︎︎

1-2x/month

a “facial” for your lady area

the esthetician will first wax, then cleanse and apply an enzyme exfoliant. then they extract any blackheads or ingrown hairs from the area before applying a soothing mask usually in the jelly form.

Moisture and Hydration ❤︎︎

body cream or lotion - daily right after bathing to hydrate skin

body oil - daily to seal in moisture and protect skin from debris and dryness

masks - weekly to address particular skin concerns

ex. when i was having eczema flare ups on my back, i used a dead sea mud mask every 1-2 weeks to help treat it

done at home or at spa

glycolic, clay, mud, salicylic, etc.

Enhancement Procedures:

the goal is to look younger and balance facial features. all these services are exclusively done by professionals usually in a medspa and are widely considered luxury.

Botox ❤︎︎

every 6-8 months; between brows, smile lines, outer corners of eyes, etc

discourages muscle movement to reduce wrinkles

Lifts ❤︎︎

lasts about 10 years; face, neck, brow, eyelids

skin is lifted to desired look, then excess skin is removed

Fillers ︎❤︎︎

every 6-12 months; under-eye, lips, jawline, wrinkle sites, cheekbones

injects acids (usually naturally occurring) like Hyaluronic Acid and Calcium Hydroxylapatite to add volume to your face

Body Contouring ❤︎︎

every 2-4 months until desired results are achieved

non invasive liposuction to achieve desired physique

CoolSculpting - cryolipolysis freezes fat cells for the body to the metabolize and and remove them

SculpSure - essentially the same as CoolSculpting, but uses heat and laser technology to destroy fat cells

Laser Hair Removal ❤︎︎

every 5-6 weeks; bikini, underarms, legs, arms

touch ups done every 1-2 years

hair growth is inhibited by exposing follicles to light at frequencies that kill them

Building the Regimen 🗒️💕:

when making appointments with your “glam squad” you can stagger your services by week depending on what’s being done. for example you can get your mani and pedi done one week. then your facials, brows and lashes another week.

Things to Keep in Mind 💭💞:

these frequencies won’t be the same for everyone depending on personal wants, budgets, etc. but will most likely land somewhere in the ranges i gave. if you need touch ups or redos any sooner than i mapped out, then the service most likely was of poor quality.

anything done at home may or may not be up to the level of detail and longevity as salon or spa work. if you see yourself doing the majority of your beauty maintenance at home, this can save money but may end up taking more time than professional services. so it’s a give and take.

[loreleilarai]

Au based on this post

So, Sun and Moon are two fairies who live in a small community in the forest. They are as tall and even taller than humans, they coexist with the forest and help lost humans. When a family camps near it, they like to play with children. Little ones are naive and find their shapes interesting and charming, they like to caress their wings and Sund and Moon love to stand up and the childrens pretend to catch them with their clumsy little jumps.

One day a fairy, old and spiteful, sees that fairies get too close to humans and they don't like that. So he takes the children, and if the parents find their bodies it's only because Sun and Moon guide them.

The "bear attacks" or "hungry wolves" and the casual "poisonous viper" turn the forest into a danger zone, what drives people away from the fairy population

The fairy is not punished, some applaud him and others look at him badly, but nobody can do something. Sun and Moon don't want to sit idly by, but they cannot take direct revenge either.

They decide, in their own way, to help. They take their things and they change into a human form. They are still tall, slender, but it works well enough. They sell their most precious objects without sentimental value, a gold necklace, earrings with intricate designs with pearls, quartz and gems that are common in fairies but not between humans.

They sell their things to start, they live in an abandoned human cabin in the forest that they improve over time, they use their money to build a daycare and a bookstore.

They both work at the daycare, where they take care of children and tell stories that warn about dangers, Moon tells stories and Sun plays at being a fairy that catches children for eating, they use a little magic to heal children when they get hurt or put them to sleep. Sun works in the morning, when Moon has free time. And in the afternoon they rotate shifts and Moon takes care of everything while Sun takes his time. Sun is the only one who works in a bookstore in his free time, while Moon prepares small potions to maintain her human form without spending much magic or takes trips to her hometown.

That's where you come in, an ordinary person who likes to go to the bookstore just a couple of houses away. You work in computing, you are allowed to use a computer as long as you are not noisy in the library, you can drink what you want with the risk of pay for what you break or stains.

Sun shows no interest in you until one day you ask for a book recommendation to de-stress, and he jumps at the chance. It is a book about fairies by an unknown author, no matter how much you look for the name you won't find it and Sun won't tell you that he forgot to put his name in

From there, sometimes he will sit at your table, ask you if you read the book while you work, he will ramble about fairies and other creatures, kelpies, dragons, any magical creature that you don't believe is real but the sparkle in his eyes is cute when he talks about what he likes.

Oh, I forgot to mention, you have two children, a girl and a boy who are unruly, your partner no longer wanted the responsibility and left. But it's okay, you do well on your own.

After Sun mentions that he runs your daycare, magically there is an application for two new kids in his daycare with your last name. And how could he refuse?

You take care of your children in the morning, you take them to the park and dedicate your time to them, in the afternoons you take them to daycare so you can work in the library. To Sun's sadness he can't take care of them, he tried to convince you a couple of times to send them in the morning, but you were firm in your decision.

There you meet Moon, he looks at you like a scientist looking at an insect under a magnifying glass, It makes you a little uncomfortable, You leave your kids there and it's not until a couple of days later that you really start talking friendly to him.

Your children talk to you about fairies, and in return you talk about fairies. The stories Moon gives them are complemented by your talks with Sun.

Then Sun accompanies you on weekends to the parks with your children, then Moon joins and the children are delighted. They ask for stories and he happily gives them, Sun and Moon take care of your children as if they were their own, they are charming.

Feelings develop, they both discuss polyamory, something common in fairies but they don't know if you are one of that small percentage of humans, they don't know if they are willing to reveal their little secret, they don't want to lie to their partner but they don't want to scare them either. Sometimes they talk to you about polyamory and luckily for them you seem open to that. So they double their efforts courting you, then they'll figure out what to do with their little secret.

They better watch out, that pair are not stupid, but you are naive and your little ones...

A specific fairy suspects that both fairies return to the town to look for some things. And when he investigates, he is angry, offended by his audacity.

Such disgusting acts must be punished, and he would teach them a lesson.

He licks his fangs while his eyes shine in the shadow of the forest, watching children play in the sandbox of a park.

Sonntag seiben

1. September in the PNW means harvesting and putting in things for the winter that give hope that, at some point, we will see the sun again and taste the sweet goodness of the gifts of nature. This year is special because another generation of our family gets to decide their fate as either pickers or non-pickers. I've always been a picker since I was probably a bit older than Henry; My grandmere and I would dutifully pick the tiny delicious huckleberries right on the border of Idaho and Montana, and one of our favourite patches was yards away from where one of her relatives surveyed in the state lines of Montana(plot twist: it's backwards). My mom, on the other hand, was born a non-picker who often loved finding a nice shady spot with a book. Thankfully, as she and I were both raised as only children, she has become a picker because berries won't pick themselves and blackberries are awful to pick. And Buggy was such a trooper: he started off picking berries but then he just wanted to eat berries even double fisting them. Tradition can be so delicious.

2. I finished my 2 weeks at Medline on Saturday, and they were absolutely good people for whom to work. And on Tuesday, I start with a municipal organization in emergency mitigation services, which should be a good job. Its a serious pay cut from Cosmo, but I cant wait any longer. And with graduation looming for me at CWU and my MBA application submitted, my options are expanding by the day. I refuse to be blind to the silver lining to my loss of my job at Cosmo, and I am open to the lessons that the universe is teaching me.

3. So for a long time I couldn't wrap my head around affirmations, but now that I'm doing them, I feel different. I think maybe, just maybe, the reset has begun and I'm looking at how I reclaim grace. To all who helped: much love.

4. To all of you who do online tutoring, what do you think of it? I have some expertise, and I think I could parlay it into a little more income and use it for the benefit of others. Thoughts?

5. We find out this week what sort of pre-k/transitional kindergarten programme Buggy will be in this fall. And, cool thing: H was also accepted into our local college and is going to be finishing her degree in Chemical dependency counseling. Her sobriety not withstanding, she is so smart and if she wouldn't have had her oldest son so young she could have done anything. She was studying to become a nurse when "life" and a few other things got in the way, and I think how much of a loss it was, truly. So having her go back to school is truly making sure the smartest person in this house gets to use that amazing brain for good of others and not just making good stuff like the boule in the picture.

6. Jimmy Buffet and Bill Richardson, on the same day? I got to meet Bill and hear him speak, and he was truly a champion for the forgotten and unjustly imprisoned. And Jimmy... I heard so many stories of him playing the Elbow room in Dutch Harbour and Tony's in Kodiak that, turns out were all true. While he might have been seen as a brand, some of his lyrics really hit my old broken down ass self pretty hard. And like his lyric said,

"I hope you're enjoying the scenery

I know that it's pretty up there

We can go hiking on Tuesday

With you I'd walk anywhere

California has worn me quite thin

I just can't wait to see you again"

Peace be with them...

7. The agates and the quartz glass are from a local beach, and 3 generations of hands have touched them. 3...Somewhere, my father figure is proud and glad it took(and that his great grandson loves rocks and getting dirty, just like him).

If you are still reading this, don't labour tomorrow. Rest. Relax. It's been a hard 9 months, and judging by our mountain ash bushes here, it's going to be a long miserable winter. Many blessings yall, and be kind to yourselves and take a moment. If my stubborn ass can finally say, and mean it, "I love the person I am becoming", you can too.

Much love!!!!

The MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 Ternary System

Phase post #12 finished up two weeks ago, but I’m only just getting to the post now. This time we had a ternary diagram of mineral compositions, with alumina, or corundum, as the clear favorite with ~48% of the vote. The magnesium composition got ~27%, and the silicon composition ~24%. Though iron and calcium oxides are more prevalent than magnesium, the three compositions chosen make up over 80% of the earth’s crust, with SiO2 being the most common composition by far.

Silicon dioxide, or silica, is most common in the form of quartz, but the phase diagram above is the liquidus phase diagram, showing the high temperature phases of each composition. At these high temperatures, silica’s crystal structure changes, forming the phases cristobalite and tridymite. Aluminum (III) oxide, or alumina, on the other hand, doesn’t exhibit the same kind of polymorphism, though it does have several metastable phases. Thus, corundum, the most common form of the mineral, maintains its structure at high temperatures. Magnesium oxide, or magnesia, likewise maintains its room temperature structure in the form of its most common mineral, periclase.

The voted for composition lands us in the spinel region on the phase diagram. Spinel is both the name of a specific mineral (MgAl2O4) and a class of minerals. All spinels, including the magnesium/aluminum mineral, have a cubic crystal structure, as pictured above. Spinel, the mineral, is relatively hard and can be found in a variety of colors, depending on impurities. Synthetic spinel can look like glass and is used in applications for its compressive strength as well as a refractory ceramic. It is typically produced through sintering.

Quartz Powder - IPNR Endura

One of the most used materials, Quartz powder offers many applications and benefits in glass fabrication, chemical, pharma processes, electronics, etc. It has a high chemical purity and resistance. This material offers a good softening point and powerful thermal resistance. Due to its low coefficient of thermal expansion and shock resistance, this material is always in demand. Other features include high transparency, good transmission, UV endurance, and radiation resistance.

[glassfascination]

Types of Heat Resistant Glass

Heat-resistant glass can withstand high temperatures without cracking or breaking. Therefore, they are suitable for many applications, from making cookware and ovens to fireplace doors. Depending on the application, different types of heat resistant glass may be used, each with its unique properties and applications.

Here are some common types you should know:

Tempered Glass:

It is a type of heat-resistant glass that has been treated at high temperatures to make it extra strong. This makes it safer and more durable than regular glass, as it can withstand impacts and other physical shocks without breaking. It’s also resistant to thermal shock, which means it can handle rapid temperature changes without damage.

Tempered glass usually comes in two varieties: annealed and heat-strengthened.

It also blocks UV radiation, making it great for laboratory applications where UV radiation needs to be blocked.

Ceramic glass is more expensive than tempered or borosilicate glass because of its higher production cost. However, it’s durability and long-life span make up for the expense over time.

Soda-Lime Glass:

Soda-lime is the most common type used in commercial and residential applications. It’s made from a combination of sand, soda ash, calcium carbonate, and other materials. Compared to borosilicate and quartz, soda-lime isn’t as strong or heat resistant; it can withstand temperatures up to 350°C (662°F).

However, its low production cost makes it ideal for use in windows, lighting fixtures, oven doors, cookware, food storage containers, and even art projects. Its ability to be molded into different shapes also makes it a great choice for decorative purposes. Summary Heat-resistant glass is an essential material for many applications due to its ability to withstand extreme temperatures and impacts.
