(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
This paper introduces a novel hybrid and interactive solar system to generate electricity and produce desalinated water. The system consists of a Stirling engine driven by concentrated solar radiation and cooled by saline ...
A framework for the analysis of damage and recovery characteristics of asphalt mixtures
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2020 , Article)
This study presents two approaches for evaluating damage and recovery characteristics of asphalt mixtures. The first approach focuses on determining damage by extracting recoverable viscoelastic strain that has no damage ...
Electrodeposition of Duplex Ni–B–Zn/Co Composite Coatings
(2020 , Article)
This research article focusses on the Ni–B–Zn/Co composite coatings synthesized via an electrodeposition process. Electrodeposited Ni–B composite coatings have several advantages, such as excellent corrosion as well as ...
Highly crystalline and thermally stable poly(aniline-co-2-nitroaniline)
(
Springer Nature
, 2020 , Article)
Abstract: To synthesize a crystalline polymer is unconventional. Here, we found the well-defined hexagonal or rectangular cubical shape of poly(aniline-co-2-nitroaniline)s PA-co-2-NAs through scanning electron microscopy. ...
A novel solar integrated distillation and cooling system – Design and analysis
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
To meet the high cooling and fresh water demands in hot and arid regions, a novel integrated solar cooling and solar distillation system is introduced. The system consists of a solar ejector cooling system integrated with ...
Electrochemical and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic investigations of conductive polymers
(
Springer Nature
, 2019 , Article)
We report the synthesis of high soluble poly(aniline-co-o-hydroxyaniline) copolymers with varying the amount of o-hydroxyaniline (20, 40, 60, and 80 %) and referred as PA-co-o-HA20, PA-co-o-HA40, PA-co-o-HA60, and PA-co-o-HA80 ...
The probabilistic nature of ignition of turbulent highly-strained lean premixed methane-air flames for low-emission engines
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Article)
The probabilistic nature of ignition of turbulent highly-strained lean premixed flames has been investigated. Two flow configurations have been considered in this study; counter-flow and bluff-body flames. Different ...
Numerical investigation of rotating stall in centrifugal compressor with vaned and vaneless diffuser
(
Science Press
, 2015 , Article)
This study presents a numerical simulation of the stall and surge in a centrifugal compressor and presents a descriptionof the stall development in two different cases. The first case is for a compressor with vaneless ...
