Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Canadian Regulations and Remediation Methods for Diesel Oil Contaminated SoilsD. G. Rushton, A E. Ghaly, K. MartinellDiesel fuel released into the environment can contaminate ground water, degrade potable water supplies and cause the collapse of fisheries. They are toxic to both animals and humans and can affect the liver, lungs, kidneys, and nervous system leading to cancer as well as immunological and reproductive effects. The objectives of this study were to review current Canadian regulations pertaining … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 8,758 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Study of the Moving Boundary Problem During Melting Process in a Rectangular Cavity Heated from BelowY. Jellouli, R. Chouikh, A. Guizani, A. BelghithWe present an analysis of the melting process in Phase Change Materials (PCM) in a horizontal cavity heated from below, driven by the coupling of transient heat conduction in the solid phase and steady state laminar natural convection in the liquid phase with one of the boundaries of the solution domain that moves. We state the problem in the Cartesian … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2007 · 7,391 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Geometry and Dimensionless Parameters on Heat Transfer Characteristics of a Closed–end Oscillating Heat-pipe at Vertical PositionS. Rittidech, K. PhalasinThis heat transfer characteristics of a closed-end oscillating heat-pipe (CEOHP) depend on a number of parameters. They are the number of turns, inner diameter of the tube, aspect ratio and the dimensionless parameters of heat transfer. The CEOHPs used to employ a copper tube with inner diameter of 0.66, 1.09 and 2.03 mm. The lengths of the evaporator, adiabatic and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2005 · 6,642 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhotovoltaic Technology of Electricity Generation for Desert CampingShafiqur Rehman, Ali A. Shash, Omar S. Baghabra Al-AmoudiThis study presents a case study on the utilization of global solar radiation data on horizontal surface to perform economical feasibility of using Photovoltaic (PV) panels with battery backup to meet a small load for a camping site in Saudi Arabia. The analysis considers three scenarios with daily average energy demands of: (i) full load, (ii) 75% load and (iii) … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,922 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign of Flywheel with a Moving HoleJihad Said AddasiA special apparatus has been designed to study linear, circular, and rotational motions. This apparatus consists of a flywheel, rotating in horizontal plane by the mean of a hanging mass. This flywheel carries a hole, which can be moved on a radial rail. This hole can be fixed at desired distance from the flywheel axis. Putting a metallic sphere on … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2005 · 6,887 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRadar Cross Section Modelling and Analysis of Static and Dynamic Targets using MATLABPunam Pande, Sreemathy R, Mousami TurukRadar Cross Section (RCS) is an important characteristic of the electromagnetic system for target detection. This study presents detailed modelling of Radar Cross Section (RCS) of static simple objects like sphere, cylinder, triangular plate, circular flat plate, truncated cone and complex objects using MATLAB Radar toolbox. The RCS modelling of simple objects is also done with MATLAB POFACET GUI 4.3 … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 21 Mar 2022 · 11,024 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTests of Glass Insulating Panels with Embedded Laminated Point ConnectionsMichaela Zdražilová, Zdeněk Sokol, Martina EliášováEmbedded laminated point connections represent a progressive way of glass structures connecting. However, detail information about their performance is not available yet and the design procedure is mostly based on experimental work and previous experience of designers. Within an ongoing research at the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague, a set of real-scale insulating glass … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 9 Mar 2022 · 10,155 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Analysis of a Lunar Lander's Landing SystemAnurag Talekar, Ajinkya Dabholkar, Ajinkya Thombe et al.In the overall design and performance prediction of spacecraft intended to accomplish delicate landing on the moon, touchdown dynamics analysis during the landing phase is one of the most important task. Missions in the past have experienced toppling of the lander due to the surface on the lunar body being covered with dead volcanoes and impact craters that restrict the … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 28 Jun 2021 · 9,976 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDistribution Pattern of SN in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and Its Relationship with Environmental FactorsXibo Feng, Yan He, Yi Zhang et al.Studying the distribution pattern and driving mechanism of Soil Nitrogen (SN) in the agricultural areas of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is of certain significance for the rational use of N fertilizer, improving the quality of land use and protecting the environment. The SN content of cultivated soil in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau agricultural areas was analyzed by combining geographical and meteorological factors. It … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 3 · 2 Jul 2020 · 6,625 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Use of Swimmer Bars as Shear Reinforcement in Reinforced Concrete BeamMoayyad Al-Nasra, Naem Asha, Abdelqader Najmi, Taher Abu-LebdehThe behavior of reinforced concrete beams at failure by shear is distinctly different from their behavior by bending, which is considered to be unsafe mode of failure. The shear failure of beams is usually sudden without sufficient advanced warning and the diagonal cracks that develop due to excess shear forces are considerably wider than the flexural cracks. The cost and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 15 Mar 2013 · 8,134 accessesView PDFCite
