Prediction of performance and emission characteristics of diesel engine fuelled with waste biomass pyrolysis oil using response surface methodology
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Advanced third generation biofuels like pyrolysis oil generated from waste biomass paves way for a cleaner and sustainable environment. An experimental-cum-statistical analysis was performed with the aim of determining the ...
Effect of halloysite nanotubes on the thermal degradation behaviour of poly(ε-caprolactone)/poly(lactic acid) microfibrillar composites
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
This paper reports on the thermal degradation behaviour and kinetics of halloysite nanotubes containing microfibrillated poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL)/poly(lactic acid) (PLA) blends. It was found that the nanotubes probably ...
Montmorency tart cherry supplementation does not impact sleep, body composition, cellular health, or blood pressure in healthy adults
(
SAGE
, 2022 , Article)
Background: Sleep disturbances are linked with cardiovascular and metabolic disease as well as poor body composition. Aim: To investigate the use of tart cherry supplements, which are high in antioxidants and may contain ...
Propagation rate coefficient for sulfobetaine monomers by PLP-SEC
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
Zwitterionic polymers have been extensively used in the biomedical field, however, the knowledge about the kinetics and mechanism of radical polymerization of their monomers is limited. This work introduces the first ...
Corrosion protection of electrospun PVDF-ZnO superhydrophobic coating
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
A one-step electrospinning technique was used to prepare a protective superhydrophobic PVDF–ZnO nanocomposite coating for aluminum against corrosion. The wettability and morphology of the prepared coating surfaces was ...
3D architectures of titania nanotubes and graphene with efficient nanosynergy for supercapacitors
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
One dimensional titanium dioxide nanotubes (titania nanotubes or TNT) are grown on the surface of two dimensional graphene sheets by hydrothermal method so that desirable out of plane properties are obtained in the final ...
Effects of superelastic nano-NiTi additions on electroless Ni –P coating properties under bending
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
Electroless Ni –P-nano-NiTi composite coatings have been shown to toughen the brittle Ni –P matrix through transformation toughening, crack bridging and deflection, and micro-cracking. In this study, electroless Ni –P-nano-NiTi ...
An automatic fast optimization of Quadratic Time-frequency Distribution using the hybrid genetic algorithm
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
This paper presents a novel framework for a fully automatic optimization of Quadratic Time-frequency Distributions (QTFDs). This ‘black box’ approach automatically adjusts the QTFD kernel parameters by using a hybrid genetic ...
Cure kinetics of epoxy/MWCNTs nanocomposites: Isothermal calorimetric and rheological analyses
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2017 , Article)
A combinatorial route has been applied in cure kinetics study of epoxy nanocomposites containing multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) based on differential scanning calorimetry and rheokinetic analyses under isothermal ...
Investigation and performance analysis of water-diesel emulsion for improvement of performance and emission characteristics of partially premixed charge compression ignition (PPCCI) diesel engines
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Partially premixed charge compression ignition (PPCCI) engine is a promising technique as compared with the conventional diesel engine. The present research paper shows the use of water-diesel emulsion at varying concentrations ...
