Characterization of Sintered Copper Wicks Used in Heat Pipes
No full textRectangular porous wicks for use in flat plate heat pipes were fabricated using copper powder (63 mu m) sintered at 800 degrees C and 1000 degrees C. These wicks were characterized in terms of their porosity and pore size distribution using the techniques of mercury intrusion porosimetry and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). A uni-modal pore size distribution was obtained with most pores having sizes in the 30-40 mu m range. Comparison was also made with cylindrical wicks fabricated by injection molding technique with the same binder and sintered at the same temperatures. Calculated permeability values of the rectangular wicks are comparable with commercially produced cylindrical wicks. When compared with conventional heat pipe wicks such as those using wire mesh, the advantage of these sintered wicks appears to be the existence of smaller pores and the controllability of porosity and pore size to optimize heat pipe performance
Eurasian images of Singapore in the fiction of Rex Shelley
No full textIn a series of four novels, amounting to a substantial personal literary output, the author Rex Shelley has fashioned a portrait of Singapore that differs significantly from the conventional ones, both official and literary. Shelley comes from the numerically small Eurasian community, and it is the distinctive historical experience of this minority, also known colloquially as mesticos, serani, or geragok, that richly frames his fiction. Yet Shelley’s achievement is often curiously overlooked in Singaporean literary criticism.
The Singapore of Rex Shelley’s fiction is not primarily the success story of the overseas Chinese who so quickly became a large and dominant majority of the Singaporean population, though their economic achievements do form a necessary context for Shelley’s works. Nor is it a nostalgic vision of Bangsa Melayu as dreamed by generations of once rural Malays. Nor is it the ravaged evocation of Indian diaspora so eloquently chronicled by K S Maniam. Rather, Shelley’s attention is upon the very human consequences of Western colonialism in Southeast Asia, namely the products of unions, legitimate or otherwise, between European males and local females. As Shelley told Ronald Klein in a recent interview “, I wanted to put down some record of the social history of this Eurasian minority community.” (1) The result is an impressive, if structurally flawed, portrait of vivid integrity amongst Singapore’s Eurasian community over time. As personified by the characters in the four novels, Shelley’s Eurasians are not marginal, post-colonial oddities, but an engaging, multi-dimensional community who laugh, cry, work, play, dream, struggle, gossip, and intrigue, just like any other. They may not be Malay, Chinese, Indian, European, or Arab, but they are involved, patriotic participants in the shaping of Singapore nonetheles
From Kulim to Singapore: Catherine Lim's literary life
No full textThe publication in 1993 by Heinemann Asia of a volume of stories entitled The Best of Catherine Lim emphasised the significant contribution which this talented author has made to recent Singaporean fiction. The 1993 edition
contains work from five of Catherine Lim's previously published collections, from Little Ironies (1978) to Deadline for Love (1992), and reflects the confidence which her publishers usually have in her capacity to draw a strong local reading audience. In fact, a Catherine Lim book is quite capable of attracting sales of 20,000 copies in a first edition
