, 2017 , Other)
The Technology Innovation and Engineering Education (TIEE) is a proposed Unit/Center/Department concept model inside a college of engineering. The TIEE concept has been developed in particular taking in consideration the ...
Recycling low grade waste heat to electricity
(
Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Most mining and metallurgical industries produce relatively large quantities of low grade waste heat which they vent, for the most part, to the environment. To date, little is being done to recover some of this heat and ...
Synthesis and characterization of electroactive novel poly-2-cynoaniline
(
Indian Academy of Sciences
, 2014 , Article)
Uniform needle-like structures of poly-2-cynoaniline are formed without the use of any template by electrochemical oxidative polymerization method on copper electrode in acidic medium. The structural characterizations are ...
