Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharcoal-Oil Mixture as an Alternative Fuel: A Preliminary StudyRoila Awang, Choo Yuen MayThe fast depletion of fuel oil and continuous increase in the demand for power is a global issue. The world energy consumption is projected to grow at an average of 2.7-3.7% from 1996 to 2010. Therefore search for alternative fuel is highly prioritized. Thus this study presents the results on the characteristic of charcoal-oil mixture as an alternative fuel. The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,556 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign of Economical Equipment for Water and Fuel Level Detection in JordanAli M. OthmanBoth a cold and hot water supplies in Jordan are provided by indirect systems and so is the fuel supply for central heating, by using storage tanks placed over the buildings roofs. This requires climbing to the roofs for measuring the level of fluid in these tanks. This method is primitive, impractical and tedious. A simple reliable easing system is … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 May 2008 · 6,584 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCompressive Load Resistance Characteristics of Rice GrainSumpun Chaitep, Chaiy Rungsiyakull, Pipatpong WatanawanyooInvestigation was made to observe the compressive load property of rice gain both rough rice and brown grain. Six rice varieties (indica and japonica) were examined with the moisture content at 10-12%. Compressive loads with reference to a principal axis normal to the thickness of the grain were conducted at selected inclined angles of 0°, 15°, 30°, 45°, 60° and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,179 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDC Motor Control Predictive ModelsRavinesh Singh, Godfrey C. Onwubolu, Krishnileshwar Singh, Ritnesh RamDC motor speed and position controls are fundamental in vehicles in general and robotics in particular. This study presents a mathematical model for correlating the interactions of some DC motor control parameters such as duty cycle, terminal voltage, frequency and load on some responses such as output current, voltage and speed by means of response surface methodology. For this exercise, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2006 · 7,015 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEnergy Sources TodayNicolae Petrescu, Florian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuThe paper intends to go through some major energy sources that need to be further developed in order to provide the energy needed for an indefinite period of time. It is proposed that both water and solar energy, as well as wind energy together with nuclear energy, are important, but other modern energy sources capable of generating energy directly or … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 21 Aug 2019 · 6,862 accessesView PDFCite
