Optical biosensor based on ultrathin SOI waveguides
(
Optica Publishing Group (formerly OSA)
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
We introduce an optical biosensor utilizing the MMI configuration and based on the ultrathin SOI platform. The biosensor was optimized using finite difference time domain simulations. A sensitivity of 420 nm/RIU was achieved.
Facile one-step synthesis of supportless porous AuPtPd nanocrystals as high performance electrocatalyst for glucose oxidation reaction
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Direct glucose fuel cells (DGFCs) received great interest due to non-toxicity, low cost, and renewability. Herein, we demonstrated the synthesis of novel porous AuPtPd nanocrystals (NCs) via plausible one-pot synthesis ...
Highly porous PtPd nanoclusters synthesized via selective chemical etching as efficient catalyst for ethanol electro-oxidation
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Direct ethanol fuel cells (DEFCs) have received great interest owing to their high power density and environmental friendness. Nevertheless, the designing of active, durable, and efficient anode for DEFCs is a profound ...
Photoelectrocatalytic hydrogen production on ternary Co-Pi/Ag/TiON nanotube array photocatalysts
(
John Wiley and Sons Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
Ternary Co-Pi-Ag/TiON photocatalysts were designed and fabricated by a facile precipitation and electrochemical strategy. The results showed the superiority of the Co-Pi-Ag/TiON as a promising photoanode for photoelectrochemical ...
Combustion and emissions of a gas-to-liquid diesel engine utilizing optimized spiral-helical intake manifold designs
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2021 , Article)
Two simultaneous strategies were used to reduce diesel engine emissions. Optimized manifold designs were used with gas-to-liquid (GTL) fuel and its blend with diesel fuel. Six new spiral-helical manifolds were tested, which ...
Investigating the Potential of Recycling Flare-Source Hydrocarbon Gases in an Industrial Burner
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2021 , Article)
Flare gas is considered a global environmental concern. Flaring contributes to wasting limited material and energy resources, economic loss, and greenhouse gas emissions. Utilizing flared gas as a fuel feed to industrial ...
Effect of Utilizing a Novel Intake Manifold Design on Smoke Emissions and Particulate Size Distributions of a Gas-to-Liquid Diesel Engine
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2021 , Article)
Smoke emissions and particulate matter (PM) size distributions were investigated on a direct-injection (DI) single-cylinder diesel engine running on both gas-to-liquid (GTL) and diesel fuels utilizing a novel spiral-helical ...
Turbulent Flames in Enclosed Combustion Chambers: Characteristics and Visualization - A Review
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2020 , Article)
Remarkable progress has been achieved in measuring the flame propagation rate accurately under laminar conditions, which can be used to predict turbulent flame propagation rates using some correlations fitted to experimental ...
Optimized intake manifold designs and their effects on the operation and emissions of a gas-to-liquid diesel engine
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Two simultaneous strategies have been used in this work to reduce the diesel engine emissions. First, using novel manifold designs to generate strong turbulence and improve the fuel-air mixing inside the cylinder. The ...
