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 ...
Performance investigation of solar photovoltaic panels using mist nozzles cooling system
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2024 , Article)
Solar PV has a disadvantage over its many advantages that its electrical efficiency falls due to rise in surface/operating temperature of solar PV cells. Therefore, it is necessary to find a way to mitigate the efficiency ...
Harvesting water from air using adsorption material - Prototype and experimental results
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
Drinking water resources have always been limited in the gulf region of the Middle East and other desert regions around the world. In attempt to provide viable supplement, a device that harvests clean drinking water from ...
Turbulence Modeling Using Z-F Model and RSM for Flow Analysis in Z-SHAPE Ducts
(
Wiley
, 2020 , Article)
Turbulent flow in Z-shape duct configuration is investigated using Reynolds stress model (RSM) and ζ-f model and compared to experimental results. Both RSM and ζ-f models are based on steady-state RANS solutions. The focus ...
Isobaric Expansion Engines Powered by Low-Grade Heat-Working Fluid Performance and Selection Database for Power and Thermomechanical Refrigeration
(
Wiley-VCH Verlag
, 2020 , Article)
A database is developed for the most suitable working fluids for Worthington-type and Bush-type isobaric engines based on their performances for a wide range of heat source temperature, from 40 to 300 °C, and operating ...
Large-eddy simulation of the flow in Z-Shape duct
(
Cogent OA
, 2020 , Article)
A numerical study is conducted of the transient flow in a z-shape three-dimensional duct using large-eddy simulation (LES) with dynamic eddy viscosity subgrid-scale (SGS) model with a fully structured grid system. The ...
Green solvent-based extraction of chlorophyll a from Nannochloropsis sp. Using 2,3-butanediol
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2021 , Article)
Chlorophyll acts as a beneficial antioxidant for the human body; however, only a few studies have reported the chlorophyll extraction using the non-toxic solvents. In this study, we used a green solvent, 2,3-butanediol ...
Lipid production under a nutrient-sufficient condition outperforms starvation conditions due to a natural polarization of lipid content in algal biofilm
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2023 , Article)
Attached algae cultivation for biofuel production has received proliferated attention given its advantage to reduce harvesting/dewatering costs and contamination risk. In this study, the effects of various nutrient starvation ...
Identifying the relationship between intention to use flat-rate public transport and trip frequency by a discrete-continuous model
(
Springer Nature
, 2023 , Article)
Public transport fare is a central feature of transit operations and is a key indicator to reflect transport demand. Yet, relatively little is known about how fare influences on ridership dynamics, including for which types ...
