Optimization of energy pile conductance using finite element and fractional factorial design of experiment
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
In Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHP), Energy Piles pose as heat exchangers that transfer the heat from the buildings to the shallow ground lower temperature in order to decrease the energy consumption whilst cooling the ...
Surface alloying in silver-cobalt through a second wave solution combustion synthesis technique
(
MDPI AG
, 2018 , Article)
Herein, we report the synthesis of silver-cobalt nanopowders using three different modes of solution combustion synthesis, and we present the effects of the synthesis conditions on particle morphology. The synthesized ...
Preparation of Nanoparticles via Cellulose-Assisted Combustion Synthesis
(
Pleiades Publishing
, 2018 , Article)
Cellulose-assisted combustion synthesis is a simple and effective continuous synthesis method that emerged almost a decade ago and now witnessing exponential growth in research interest and application. The simplicity of ...
Effect of temperature and radial displacement cycles on soil?concrete interface properties using modified thermal borehole shear test
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2018 , Article)
Thermoactive geostructures (such as energy piles) are used for heating and cooling of buildings, which generate daily temperature changes and cycles in the geostructure and surrounding soil due to the intermittent operation ...
Prioritising solutions for Lean Six Sigma adoption barriers through fuzzy AHP-modified TOPSIS framework
(
Emerald Group Publishing Ltd.
, 2018 , Article)
Purpose: This paper aims to guide about prioritisation and ranking of the solutions and overcoming barriers to facilitate the adoption of Lean Six Sigma (LSS) by using a hybrid framework. Design/methodology/approach: It ...
Numerical and experimental investigation of corrugated tubes under lateral compression
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2018 , Article)
As a common type of energy absorbers, thin-walled structures have been extensively used in crashworthiness application in many industries. The goal of this research is the optimisation of the crushing parameters of corrugated ...
Magnetorheological damper with external excitation for more efficient control of vehicles? dynamics
(
SAGE Publications Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
This article presents a new concept design for magnetorheological dampers, where the excitation circuit and magnetic field are applied from outside the magnetorheological chamber. This magnetorheological damper was designed ...
Axial pull-out response of a small-scale concrete pile subjected to cyclic thermal loading in sand
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Energy piles support structural loads and exchange heat with surrounding soils using closed-loop ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems. A GSHP connected to an energy pile operates in cycles where it functions for a period ...
Synthesis of Highly Efficient Bifunctional Ag/Co3O4 Catalyst for Oxygen Reduction and Oxygen Evolution Reactions in Alkaline Medium
(
American Chemical Society
, 2018 , Article)
Ag/Co3O4 catalysts using three different modes of solution combustion synthesis were developed and characterized by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron ...
Evaluation of specific heat capacity and density for Cellulose Nanocrystal-based nanofluid
(
Penerbit Akademia Baru
, 2018 , Article)
In this present study, the experimental results for density and specific heat capacity for CNC based nanofluid are reported. The nanofluid used in this investigation was prepared by adopting two-step preparation method. ...
