Erosive wear performance of API X42 pipeline steel
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
The need to transport petroleum products through pipelines has resulted in the increased erosion of the pipeline materials used in the petroleum industry. In this study, dry erosion test was performed using sand blaster ...
Structural, dielectric and ferroelectric properties of lead-free Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 ceramics prepared by spark plasma sintering technique
(
Scientific Publishers
, 2016 , Article)
Lead-free Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 (NBT) fine-grained ceramics were prepared by spark plasma sintering method. Single phase ceramics with an ABO3 perovskite structure were confirmed by X-ray diffraction method. The grain morphology ...
Positron annihilation study on polyaniline nanocomposite used for Pb(II) ion removal
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2016 , Article)
Nanocomposites of polyaniline (PANI) with three different concentrations of micrometre-sized sawdust are prepared in aqueous media via chemical casting method at room temperature. Thereafter, the removal efficiency of the ...
Optimization and Prediction of Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Graphene/LLDPE Nanocomposites by Using Artificial Neural Networks
(
Hindawi Publishing Corporation
, 2016 , Article)
The focus of this work is to develop the knowledge of prediction of the physical and chemical properties of processed linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE)/graphene nanoplatelets composites. Composites made from LLDPE ...
Improvement of thermal conductivity of paraffin by adding expanded graphite
(
SAGE Publications Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
This paper investigated the use of graphite with different configuration designs to improve the thermal energy storage of phase change material systems. Two types of graphite have been combined with paraffin in order to ...
Investigation of the physico-mechanical properties of electrospun PVDF/cellulose nanofibers.
(
Wiley
, 2016 , Article)
The electro-activity and mechanical properties of PVDF depends mainly on the b-phase content and degree of crystallinity. In this study, cellulose fibers were used to improve these characteristics. This could be achieved ...
Strength and durability of composite concretes with municipal wastes
(
American Concrete Institute
, 2016 , Article)
The influence of different types of polyethylene (PE) substitutions as partial aggregate replacement of microsteel fiber-reinforced self-consolidating concrete (SCC) incorporating incinerator fly ash was investigated. The ...
Anisotropy in CNT composite fabricated by combining directional freezing and gamma irradiation of acrylic acid
(
Elsevier, Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
A novel fabrication process for composite consisting of organized modified carbon nanotubes (CNT) in the polyacrylic acid (PAA) matrix has been developed. The CNT were organized along crystallite domains during a directional ...
Analysis of partial electrocoalescence by Level-Set and finite element methods
(
Institution of Chemical Engineers
, 2016 , Article)
The coalescence of a water drop in a dieletric oil phase at a water layer interface in the presence of an electric field is simulated by solving the Navier Stokes and charge conservation equations with the finite element ...
