The objectives of the current study are to assess the performance and emission characteristics of a diesel engine running on Juliflora biodiesel-based blends at varying levels of brake power. These ob-jectives were achie...

Introduction. The performance reliability of electric vehicles (EVs) is an important factor in evaluating their suitability for widespread adoption. The reliability and lifespan of an EV depend on several critical factor...

Abstract Biological soft tissues manipulation, including conventional (mechanical) and nonconventional (laser, waterjet and ultrasonic) processes, is critically required in most surgical innervations. However, the soft t...

Low nano-SiO2 loaded nylon 6 (PA6) nanocomposites were readily produced via in situ polymerization. The effect of surface-modified functional groups of nano-SiO2 on the interfacial structure and properties of nylon 6/SiO...

Virtual reality (VR) is one of the most common technologies nowadays, which make a virtual environment exactly similar to the real environment. The purpose behind this is to test several issues (designing or manufacturin...

Pumice is a porous volcanic rock containing a significant proportion of silica and alumina, and which has a low iron content. This natural, silica-rich material attracts wide attention because of its applications in adso...

The evaporative cooling system has better advantages than conventional systems in terms of the economic costs, methods of operation, energy consumption, and no pollution, as caused by the fluorocarbon gases and their rol...

The braking system is a critical safety component in land vehicles, relying on efficient deceleration during operation. Among its elements, the brake disc plays a central role in dissipating the heat generated by frictio...

Abstract Graphene has superhigh thermal conductivity up to 5000 W/(m·K), extremely thin thickness, superhigh mechanical strength and nano-lamellar structure with low interlayer shear strength, making it possess great po...

Abstract Ultrasonic welding is an effective ways to achieve a non-reactive/immiscible heterogeneous metal connection, such as the connection of magnesium alloy and titanium alloy. But the thermal mechanism of magnesium a...

The utilization of fish processing by-products represents an important strategy to improve production efficiency and support zero-waste principles. Milkfish (Chanos chanos) bone by-products, generated from deboned milkfi...

Abstract A decrease in the weight of aerospace vehicles, large ships, weapons, and high-speed trains will increase the demand for wide-width magnesium alloy plates and their composite parts to replace steel and plastic. ...

The semi-underground double-storey squat silo (SDSS) is innovative storage structure. The underground section of SDSS uses shallow geologic energy for low-temperature storage, indicating its potential suitability for lon...

Porous metallic structures such as Kelvin cells have attracted increasing attention due to their high surface-to-volume ratio and design flexibility, making them promising candidates for lightweight and efficient heat ex...

Much effort has been expended in the aerospace industry in order to achieve the highest quality standards required for nowadays technical and environmental necessities. This involves the increase of specific power and ov...
