As global awareness of climate change grows, innovative CO2 capture solutions are crucial for sustainability. This research explores the potential of supersonic condensation-based separation as an advanced method for CO2 ...

Hotel heating systems often rely on fossil fuels or high-global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants, leading to high emissions and operational costs. With strict environmental regulations and the push for sustainability, ...

Cold storages play a dominant role in the preservation of harvested produce by generating an environment conducive to their storage. Inadequate air flow inside a cold storage can result in a heterogeneous temperature within ...

Human skin tribology involves the study of friction behaviour of skin, with other materials in contact. Numerous studies have been conducted based both on the simulations and experimentations for the tribological investigations. ...

Industrially produced Zircaloy-4 clads were subjected to pressurized water in standard closed end burst test and shown to possess different ductilities. The latter was not determined by microstructure and crystallographic ...

Blends of polypropylene (PP) and polyamide 6 (PA6) with multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were prepared using different processing strategies in a twin-screw micro-compounder. The effect of MWNTs on the crystallization ...

Fully recrystallized Zircaloy-4 was cold rolled to 20% reduction in thickness. The deformed microstructure had fragmented and non-fragmented grains. Fragmentation represented deformation-induced refinement in grain size. ...

The 'conventional' Zirconium microstructures can be significantly extended with information on: (i) microtexture, (ii) residual stresses and (iii) local mechanical properties. Though these involve different tools, but a ...

Deformation twinning was directly observed in three commercial zirconium alloy samples during split channel die plane-strain compression. One pair of samples had similar starting texture but different grain size distributions, ...

Pilgering is a complex incremental manufacturing process for seamless tubes. In this work, a miniature physical simulator for pilgering was designed and fabricated. This miniature simulator employs a grooved roll-die and ...
