(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
The present experimental work was done to check the performance enhancement in distillate productivity between CSS and MSS in climatic conditions of Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India (23.21° N, 72.63° E). In modified solar still ...
Influence of lean premixed ratio of PCCI-DI engine fueled by diesel/biodiesel blends on combustion, performance, and emission attributes; a comparison study
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
The traditional combustion mode which utilized in the DI diesel engine has high and excessive emissions so the most wanted combustion is creating new modes which produce low combustion temperatures and low emissions. The ...
Nicotinamide-based supergelator self-assembling via asymmetric hydrogen bonding NH OC and H Br pattern for reusable, moldable and self-healable nontoxic fuel gels
(
Academic Press Inc.
, 2021 , Article)
Hypothesis
Development of highly efficient low-molecular weight gelators (LMWGs) for safe energy storage materials is of great demand. Energy storage materials as fuel gels are often achieved by construction of hybrid ...
Plasticizer enhancement on the miscibility and thermomechanical properties of polylactic acid-chitin-starch composites
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
In previous research, a polylactic chitin starch composite was prepared without the use of a solvent to enhance the miscibility. In this study, a polylactic acid (PLA) chitin starch composite was produced with chloroform ...
Study on structure, thermal behavior and viscoelastic properties of nanodiamond-reinforced poly (Vinyl alcohol) nanocomposites
(
MDPI AG
, 2021 , Article)
In this work, advanced polymer nanocomposites comprising of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)
and nanodiamonds (NDs) were developed using a single-step solution-casting method. The proper ties of the prepared PVA/NDs nanocomposites ...
Enhanced corrosion protection of Epoxy/ZnO-NiO nanocomposite coatings on steel
