Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effects of Oil Film Shape on Piston Ring and Liner Tribology Under Mixed LubricationAbbas Razavykia, Cristiana Delprete, Eugenio Brusa, Yaser HosseiniMechanical power loss reduction at lubricated reciprocating and rotating components is recognized as an approach to improve the efficiency and to reduce the emissions of Internal Combustion Engines (ICEs). To achieve these goals, the instantaneous investigation of lubrication characteristics is required. Piston ring pack is of paramount importance as it is known as major contributor to frictional losses and energy … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 4 · 10 Nov 2021 · 6,523 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHarvesting Chaetoceros Calcitrans and Nannochloropsis sp. Via ElectroflocculationNitin Raut, Dinesh Kumar Saini, Reena VaidyaThe efficiency of harvesting the algal biomass plays a dominant role in the production of biodiesel from microalgae. On a commercial scale the choice and efficiency of the harvesting techniques may be a deciding factor for economic viability of this renewable energy source. The highly energy intensive centrifugation and filtration process are followed by flocculation for harvesting microalgae. Therefore the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 9 · 12 Apr 2017 · 7,719 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMEMS Based RF Energy Harvester for Battery-Less Remote Control: A ReviewNoor Hidayah Mohd Yunus, Jahariah Sampe, Jumril Yunas, Alipah PawiThe paper deals with the growing interest of energy harvesting systems due to great development in many new emerging technologies in electronics and telecommunication. The research focuses particularly about rectenna element comprises of antenna, impedance matching and rectifier. The rectenna is applied under Micro-Electromechanical-System (MEMS) technology design use in Radio Frequency (RF) energy harvester. MEMS is a technology of miniaturization … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 19 Feb 2017 · 9,357 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiodegradation of BTEX: Optimization through Response Surface MethodologyAyat E. El Telib, Muftah H. El-Naas, Janice A. AcioResponse Surface Methodology (RSM) was used to optimize the biodegradation of Benzene, Toluene, Ethyl benzene and m-, o-, p-Xylene (BTEX) by Pseudomonas putida immobilized in PVA matrices in a specially-designed novel Spouted Bed Bioreactor System (SBBS). A mixture of 60 mg L-1 of BTEX compounds in air was contacted with the immobilized bacteria in three spouted bed bioreactors in series. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 3 Jan 2017 · 8,279 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStructural Colour from Optical Phenomena Caused by Interference with a Thin or Multilayer Film, Photonic Nanocrystals, Light Scattering and Diffraction Grating EffectRelly Victoria Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Antonio ApicellaThe paper presents the Ion Plating Plasma Assisted technology that is applied in the area of surface functionalization with the purpose of preserving the structural colour and relics. The interferometric structural colours applied on titanium surfaces were used and tested together with nano-transparent and at the same time achromatic films on the very old ceramic artifact.
