A global multiregional life cycle sustainability assessment of national energy production scenarios until 2050
(
IEOM Society
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
The global increasing energy demand have made governments more environmental conscious, yet there are also impacts on society and the environment. The triple-bottom-line sustainability assessment and Autoregressive Integrated ...
A Fast Responsive Ultraviolet Sensor from mSILAR-Processed Sn-ZnO
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2017 , Article)
Microwave-assisted successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction was employed to synthesize Sn-ZnO (tin-doped zinc oxide), and its sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation is compared with zinc oxide (ZnO). The sensing films ...
Correlating the microstructure to mechanical properties and wear behavior of an accumulative back extruded Al-Mg2Si in-situ composite
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Article)
The present work was conducted to study the effects of microstructural evolutions on the mechanical and wear behavior of an accumulative back extruded aluminum-based in-situ composite. The mechanical fragmentation and ...
Monitoring multistage processes with autocorrelated observations
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2017 , Article)
In multistage manufacturing processes, autocorrelations within stages over time are prevalent and the classical control charts are often ineffective in monitoring such processes. In this paper, we derive a linear state ...
Influence of TiO2 nanoparticles incorporation to friction stir welded 5083 aluminum alloy on the microstructure, mechanical properties and wear resistance
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Article)
The aim of the current study is to investigate the effect of addition of TiO2 nanoparticles and friction stir welding (FSW) parameter such as number of passes on microstructure, mechanical and tribological properties of ...
The effect of forced convection and PCM on helmets' thermal performance in hot and arid environments
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Safety helmets are essential Personal Protecting Equipment (PPE) in all industrial and construction sites. When temperature and humidity levels are high, users' thermal comfort is adversely affected. This paper examines ...
Highly selective gas sensors from photo-activated ZnO/PANI thin films synthesized by mSILAR
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Zinc oxide (ZnO) nano-polycrystalline thin films has been prepared by cost-effective microwave assisted successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (mSILAR) technique. ZnO/PANI prepared by in situ polymerization technique ...
Synthesis and characterization of electrically conductive poly(aniline-co-3-bromoaniline) nanocomposites
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2017 , Article)
Poly(aniline-co-3-bromoaniline) copolymers with varying compositions of the monomers have been prepared in this work by copolymerization of aniline and 3-bromoaniline using ammonium persulphate as oxidant. Structure and ...
Evaluating the Performance of a Newly Developed Carbon Capture Device for Mobile Emission Sources
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2017 , Article)
In the present study, a new carbon capture device that can be carried on-board vehicles has been developed and tested. The developed device uses absorption and adsorption methods of postcombustion CO2 capture. Sodium ...
Study to identify computational fluid dynamics models for use in determining HVAC duct fitting loss coefficients
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
This article presents results from a systematic study to establish whether computational fluid dynamics techniques are capable of predicting pressure drop in close-coupled five-gore elbows having nominal diameters of 203 ...
