Productivity forecasting of solar distiller integrated with evacuated tubes and external condenser using artificial intelligence model and moth-flame optimizer
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
This paper aims at developing an artificial intelligence model to forecast the water yield of a modified solar distiller integrated with evacuated tubes and an external condenser. The model consists of a hybrid long ...
Investigation and performance analysis of solar still with energy storage materials: An energy- exergy efficiency analysis
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2022 , Article)
Researchers have attempted different Energy storage materials (ESM) in solar stills (SS) to improve distillate yield. In this experimental work, an attempt was made to increase the distillate yield & efficiency of SS, using ...
Investigation of interaction between boronic acids and sugar: effect of structural change of sugars on binding affinity using steady state and time resolved fluorescence spectroscopy and molecular docking
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2020 , Article)
Binding interactions of boronic acid derivatives viz. 2-Methylphenylboronic acid (B1) and 3-Methoxyphenylboronic acid (B2) with mono saccharides (arabinose, fructose and galactose) and disaccharides (sucrose, lactose and ...
Study of performance, combustion, and emissions parameters of DI-diesel engine fueled with algae biodiesel/diesel/n-pentane blends
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
Biodiesel extracted from Scenedesmus obliquus algae through transesterification was used in the current study. Due to the disadvantages of using pure biodiesel in engines, it was used as B50 (a blend of 50% diesel and 50% ...

Superhydrophobic coatings have a huge impact in various applications due to their extreme water-repellent properties. The main novelty of the current research work lies in the development of cheap, stable, superhydrophobic ...
Investigation on evacuated tubes coupled solar still with condenser and fins: Experimental, exergo-economic and exergo-environment analysis
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
The present experimental work was done to check the performance enhancement in distillate productivity between CSS and MSS in climatic conditions of Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India (23.21° N, 72.63° E). In modified solar still ...
Influence of lean premixed ratio of PCCI-DI engine fueled by diesel/biodiesel blends on combustion, performance, and emission attributes; a comparison study
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
The traditional combustion mode which utilized in the DI diesel engine has high and excessive emissions so the most wanted combustion is creating new modes which produce low combustion temperatures and low emissions. The ...
Plasticizer enhancement on the miscibility and thermomechanical properties of polylactic acid-chitin-starch composites
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
In previous research, a polylactic chitin starch composite was prepared without the use of a solvent to enhance the miscibility. In this study, a polylactic acid (PLA) chitin starch composite was produced with chloroform ...
Study on structure, thermal behavior and viscoelastic properties of nanodiamond-reinforced poly (Vinyl alcohol) nanocomposites
(
MDPI AG
