Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPositron Annihilation Study on Nickel and Iron Nano-Particles in Natural Rubber CompositesEmad Hassan AlyProblem statement: The effect of Ni and Fe nano-particles as a filler on the free volume properties Of Natural Rubber (NR) was studied using Positron Annihilation Lifetime Spectroscopy (PALS). Approach: The PAL measurements revealed that the free volume properties are strongly affected by the amount and type of filler. Results: Particularly speaking, the free volume fraction dramatically decreased by increasing … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2011 · 7,625 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of the Water Quality Index of Otamiri and Oramiriukwa RiversA.N. Amadi, P.I. Olasehinde, E.A. Okosun, J. YisaProblem statement: The impact of anthropogenic activities on Otamiri and Oramiriukwa Rivers as a result of the increasing rate of urbanization in Owerri, Nigeria is of a great concern due to the fact that water from these rivers is the source of water distributed for public use. These rivers are of particular importance in the study of surface water pollution … …Physics International, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2010 · 8,546 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplied a Closed-Loop Oscillating Heat-Pipe Heat Exchanger to Increasing Oil Yield in Pyrolysis ProcessN. Panyoyai, T. Wongsiriamnuay, S. SangsrichanProblem statement: A Closed-Loop Oscillating Heat-Pipe (CLOHP) heat exchanger was a heat exchanger with one of the most promising conductivity capacities because of its higher cooling and condensing potential. Therefore, the aims of this study were to design and fabricate a CLOHP to be applied to increasing oil yield in the pyrolysis process. Approach: Two types of oscillating heat-pipe arrangements-parallel … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,620 accessesView PDFCite
