Flames as a Unique Pyrolyzing Source for the Formation of Hydrophobic Carbon Films on Solid Substrates
(2022)
In this work the rapid single-step flame synthesis of hydrophobic carbon layers (C-layers) on the surface of stainless-steel (SS) substrates is explored. A co-flow flame is used to generate a hydrophobic monolayer on the ...
The Impact of Hydrogen Blending on Emissions and Performance of a Natural Aspirated Engine
(2023-05-12)
There has been a significant focus on developing alternative fuels and energy sources in order to mitigate the adverse effects of fossil fuel combustion on the environment. Among promising options, hydrogen stands out owing ...
Infrared Thermal Imaging-Based Thermal Diffusivity Measurement Using Angstrom Method
(2021-05-14)
Characterizing the thermal diffusivity of materials is a vital step in the creation of new polymer nanocomposites. Determining the in-plane thermal diffusivity as compared to the through-plane thermal diffusivity may show ...
Investigation of the Effects of Weight on Bit and Rotational Speed on Directional Drilling Parameters and Drillstring Mechanics
(2020)
To increase efficiency by optimization, automation has become synonymous with increased drilling efficiency. The oil and gas industry has slowly been adopting automation and process control to improve safety, increase ...
Integration of phase change material-based thermal energy storage in air distribution systems to increase building power flexibility
(2020-12-18)
Thermal energy storage is one of the many strategies that are effective in alleviating the electrical power supply and demand imbalance issues on the electric grid, and buildings are a good place to implement such storage ...
Effect of Oxygen Content on Soot Formation in a Co-Flow Diffusion Flame Fueled with Canola Methyl Ester and Diesel
(2021-05-14)
The release of carbon particles (or soot; nanoscale sized carbon spheres) during a combustion process is the sign of hydrocarbon fuel not burning completely. The physical property (nano scaled) and chemical compounds ...
An Experimental Setup to Measure Argon Leak Rate Through Barriers for Static and Rotational Motion
(2022-08)
As a greenhouse gas, methane significantly impacts global warming and air pollution. Oil and gas production, crude oil transportation, refining, and natural gas processing, transportation, and distribution are considered ...
The Feasibility of Using X-Ray Induced Acoustic Computed Tomography for Non-Destructive Testing of Aircraft Structural
(2020-06-15)
Aviation safety is a very important aspect of the aviation industry. One of the most important methods for increasing aviation safety is the non-destructive testing method. The non-destructive testing method is considered ...
Investigations of the Mechanical and Microstructural Properties of the Atrioventricular Heart Valve Leaflets and Chordae Tendineae
(2020-05)
The unidirectional blood flow through the heart is facilitated by the atrioventricular heart valves – namely the mitral valve and the tricuspid valve. The two atrioventricular heart valves (AHVs) are composed of soft tissue ...
Material Analysis for High-Efficiency Polymer Composite Heat Exchanger
(2020-05)
Heat exchangers are widely used in different industries as primary devices to transfer heat between fluids or gases that are at different temperatures. These devices are most commonly made out of metals, which are known ...
