Exfoliating graphite to graphene nanosheets by mechanical ball milling with alumina, coating alumina particles with graphene layers to enhance their electrical and thermal properties, minimizing aluminum composite's ...

Heavy metal contamination is a standout among the most genuine ecological issues: toxicity, persistence, bioaccumulation, and biomagnification through food chains. The present work aims at the synthesis of abundant, ...

Most people in rural Africa and other developing countries take in food that is not sufficiently rich in nutrient. The reason for this deficiency is because of poverty, specifically lack of money to buy proper dietary ...

This paper seeks to outline good practice in the design, installation and operation of building cooling systems. It encompasses the discussion on the different types of cooling systems that must be applied for particular ...

Rich nutrient matrix meat is the first-choice source of animal protein for many people all over the world, but it is also highly susceptible to spoilage due to chemical and microbiological activities. In this work, we ...

The problem with cavitation and possible pitting in internal combustion diesel engines is studied here. Both theoretical and numerical simulation studies are carried out in order to understand the noise and vibration sources ...

Inspired by some typical plants such as lotus leaves, superhydrophobic surfaces are commonly prepared by a combination of low surface energy materials and hierarchical micro/nano structures. In this work, superhydrophobic ...

In order to simultaneously study the differences in transient flow characteristics within each nozzle hole of an asymmetric multi-hole diesel injector used in off-road machinery, a three-dimensional gas–liquid two-phase ...

Composite TiN-Ag films with various Ag content (Ag/(Ti + Ag)) were deposited using reactive magnetron sputtering and the influence of Ag content on the crystal structure, mechanical and tribological properties were ...
