This research work investigates the effect of concentration of Inconel625 particles on the microstructural, mechanical, and thermal properties of Al-Inconel625 composites. The Al-Inconel625 composites containing varying ...

In the present study, Ni50Ti50 (NiTi) particle reinforced aluminum nanocomposites were fabricated using microwave sintering and subsequently hot extrusion. The effect of NiTi (0, 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 vol %) content on the ...

In this study, nano-sized Si3N4 (0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 vol%)/Al composites were fabricated using a powder metallurgy method involving microwave sintering technique followed by hot extrusion. The influence of Si3N4 content ...

Corrosion is a major cause of materials and equipment failure in the oil and gas industry, and its prevention is crucial to ensure reliability of the assets. Towards, this goal, Ni-B/AlN nanocomposite coatings were synthesized ...

The collected datasets are relevant and related to Optimization of Design and Operation of Solar Assisted District Cooling Systems [1] paper. Part of the data is collected on the main and common components of the system. ...

We investigate a variant of the standard Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP), where each vehicle is powered exclusively by electricity stored in its rechargeable battery. Consequently, each vehicle should visit not ...

We investigate the minimum-weight connected subgraph problem. The importance of this problem stems from the fact that it constitutes the backbone of many network design problems having applications in several areas including ...

We investigate the problem of designing an optimal annual delivery plan for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). This problem requires determining the long-term cargo delivery dates and the assignment of vessels to the cargoes ...

We propose compact mixed-integer programming models for the NP-hard problem of minimizing tardiness in a two-machine flow shop. Also, we propose valid inequalities that aim at tightening the models' representations. We ...

In this paper, we investigate the problem of minimizing makespan in a multistage hybrid flow-shop scheduling with multiprocessor tasks. To generate high-quality approximate solutions to this challenging NP-hard problem, ...
