Integrated planning of spare parts and service engineers with partial backlogging
(
Springer Verlag
, 2017 , Article)
In this paper, we consider the integrated planning of resources in a service maintenance logistics system in which spare parts supply and service engineers deployment are considered simultaneously. The objective is to ...
Uniform fractional factorial design tables for energy piles with maximum thermal conductance
(
WITPress
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Energy Piles are the heat exchangers of Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHP) that transfer the buildings heat to the lower temperature shallow ground reducing the energy consumption in the cooling of buildings. These piles are ...
Experimental determination and computational fluid dynamics predictions of pressure loss in close-coupled elbows (RP-1682)
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
An experimental program was implemented to study pressure losses in HVAC duct systems associated with 305 mm (12 in.) diameter close-coupled round five-gore elbows. The goal of this program was to experimentally verify a ...
Energy absorption capabilities of complex thin walled structures
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Thin walled structures have been used in the area of energy absorption during an event of a crash. A lot of work has been done on tubular structures. Due to limitation of manufacturing process, complex geometries were ...
Novel electrodeposited Ni-B/Y 2 O 3 composite coatings with improved properties
(
MDPI AG
, 2017 , Article)
Ni-B/Y 2 O 3 composite coatings were developed through an electrodeposition process to study the effect of addition of Y 2 O 3 particles on structure, surface, thermal, mechanical, and anticorrosion properties of Ni-B ...
A new insight in determining the percolation threshold of electrical conductivity for extrinsically conducting polymer composites through different sigmoidal models
(
MDPI AG
, 2017 , Article)
The electrical conductivity of extrinsically conducting polymer composite systems passes through a transition state known as percolation threshold. A discussion has been made on how different Sigmoidal models (S-models), ...
Thermal comfort investigation of an outdoor air-conditioned area in a hot and arid environment
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
Thermal comfort in hot and arid outdoor environments is an industrial challenging field. An outdoor air-conditioned area was designed and built to host sport and social events during summers 2014 and 2015 in Qatar. This ...
Analyzing the Behavior of Classical Functionally Graded Coated Beam
(
EDP Sciences
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
The governing equation of a classical rectangular coated beam made of two homogeneous layers at top ceramic coated layer and bottom metal layer and also single Functionally Graded Material (FGM) as a sub coated layer ...
Synthesis, characterization, and properties of nickel-cobalt layered double hydroxide nanostructures
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2017 , Article)
Nickel-cobalt layered double hydroxides (Ni-Co-LDH) have recently been examined for their potential as battery-type hybrid supercapacitors made from metal hydroxide electrode materials, due to their unique spatial structure, ...
Synthesis and characterization of cobalt hydroxide carbonate nanostructures
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2017 , Article)
Battery-type electrodes of three-dimensional (3D) hierarchical cobalt hydroxide carbonate arrays on Ni foam were fabricated using a hydrothermal method for use in supercapacitors. X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning ...
