Heat transfer measurements of Polyalpha-Olefin- boron nitride nanofluids for thermal management and lubrication applications
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
In this paper, the first study is reported combining Polyalpha-Olefin (PAO) oil with hexagonal Boron Nitride (hBN) to produce new class of nanofluids for heat transfer and lubrication applications. The heat transfer ...
A blockchain-based framework to optimize shipping container flows in the hinterland
(2023 , Article)
We address two interrelated issues affecting the hinterland portion of the maritime container supply chain: reducing the movement of empty containers and reducing empty trips by trucks carrying these containers. In this ...
Evaluation and calibration of dynamic modulus prediction models of asphalt mixtures for hot climates: Qatar as a case study
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
The dynamic modulus (|E*|) of asphalt mixtures is one of the most important inputs in Mechanistic-Empirical (ME) pavement analysis and design. Several models have been developed to predict the dynamic modulus based on ...
