Effect of temperature and erosion on pitting corrosion of X100 steel in aqueous silica slurries containing bicarbonate and chloride content
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
The effect of temperature on erosion-enhance pitting corrosion behavior of X100 steel has been investigated. Tests were performed at two temperatures with the help of open circuit potential (OCP), potentiodynamic polarization ...
A new forecasting scheme for evaluating long-term prediction performances in supply chain management
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
, 2014 , Article)
Supply chain management (SCM) practitioners in inventory sites are often required to predict the future sales of products in order to meet customer demands and reduce inventory costs simultaneously. Although a variety of ...
Abandoned petroleum wells as sustainable sources of geothermal energy
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
A reliable heat transfer model was developed to determine the performance of a double pipe heat exchanger retrofitted to an abandoned petroleum well. The proposed model is compared against an analytical heat transfer model ...
Warming impact on energy use of HVAC system in buildings of different thermal qualities and in different climates
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
In order to combat climate change, energy use in the building must be further reduced. Heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems in residential buildings account for considerable fraction of global energy ...
Crushing behavior of hybrid hexagonal/octagonal cellular composite system: All made of carbon fiber reinforced epoxy
(
Elsevier, Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
Cellular carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) composites, either unfilled or filled with foam, may be of interest for energy absorption application due to their improved crashworthiness. In the current paper, new ...
Crushing behavior of hybrid hexagonal/octagonal cellular composite system: Aramid/carbon hybrid composite
(
Elsevier, Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
In the current paper a series of experiments were conducted to assess the crashworthiness of cellular hexagonal/octagonal composite device. Each device composed of 6 cells of carbon fiber reinforced composite (CFRP). ...
