The spectral and morphological studies of the conductive polyaniline thin film derivatives by the in situ copolymerization
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2017 , Article)
Thin film of copolymers of poly(aniline-co-2-iodoaniline) are obtained by in situ copolymerization of aniline and 2-iodoaniline as the startup monomers by chemical oxidation upon varying the molar feed to ratio of monomers ...
A fuzzy long-term investment planning model for a GenCo in a hybrid electricity market considering climate change impacts
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2017 , Article)
We study the long-term generation capacity investment problem of an independent power generation company (GenCo) that functions in an environment where GenCos perform business with both bilateral contracts (BC) and ...
White graphene reinforced polypyrrole and poly(vinyl alcohol) blend nanocomposites as chemiresistive sensors for room temperature detection of liquid petroleum gases
(
Springer-Verlag Wien
, 2017 , Article)
The authors describe the preparation of PVA/WPPy/hBNNP nanocomposite films by solution casting method from poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), water soluble polypyrrole (WPPy), and using hexagonal boron nitride nanoparticles (hBNNP) ...
Experimental determination and computational fluid dynamics predictions of pressure loss in close-coupled elbows (RP-1682)
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
An experimental program was implemented to study pressure losses in HVAC duct systems associated with 305 mm (12 in.) diameter close-coupled round five-gore elbows. The goal of this program was to experimentally verify a ...
Application of value stream mapping (VSM) for lean and cycle time reduction in complex production environments: a case study
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2017 , Article)
The application of VSM is a proven approach for lean-based improvements. Typically, this becomes challenging, when applied for complex production environments. The purpose of this research is to demonstrate, how with some ...
A simulation-optimisation approach for supply chain network design under supply and demand uncertainties
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2017 , Article)
We investigate a three-echelon stochastic supply chain network design problem. The problem requires selecting suppliers, determining warehouses locations and sizing, as well as the material flows. The objective is to ...
Novel electrodeposited Ni-B/Y 2 O 3 composite coatings with improved properties
(
MDPI AG
, 2017 , Article)
Ni-B/Y 2 O 3 composite coatings were developed through an electrodeposition process to study the effect of addition of Y 2 O 3 particles on structure, surface, thermal, mechanical, and anticorrosion properties of Ni-B ...
A new insight in determining the percolation threshold of electrical conductivity for extrinsically conducting polymer composites through different sigmoidal models
(
MDPI AG
, 2017 , Article)
The electrical conductivity of extrinsically conducting polymer composite systems passes through a transition state known as percolation threshold. A discussion has been made on how different Sigmoidal models (S-models), ...
Monitoring multistage processes with autocorrelated observations
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2017 , Article)
In multistage manufacturing processes, autocorrelations within stages over time are prevalent and the classical control charts are often ineffective in monitoring such processes. In this paper, we derive a linear state ...
Thermal comfort investigation of an outdoor air-conditioned area in a hot and arid environment
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
Thermal comfort in hot and arid outdoor environments is an industrial challenging field. An outdoor air-conditioned area was designed and built to host sport and social events during summers 2014 and 2015 in Qatar. This ...
