Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsFlow of Temperature-dependent Viscous Fluid Between Parallel Heated Walls: Exact Analytical Solutions in the Presence of Viscous DissipationK. S. Adegbie, F. I. AlaoWe examine steady incompressible flow of viscous liquids between parallel heated walls of plane Couette device. The temperature of the upper and lower walls of the device are maintained at T = Tb and T = T0 respectively. Of a particular interest are exact analytical solutions of the coupled non-linear differential equations resulting from plane Couette flow obtained for the … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,480 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Analysis of Laboratory Measured and PVTP Software DataOluwasanmi Samuel Teniola, Mercy Isaiah OkegbemiCubic Equations of State (EOS), including the Peng-Robinson (PR) and Soave-Redlich-Kwong (SRK) models, are foundational in petroleum engineering for modeling the thermodynamic behavior of hydrocarbon systems. These EOS are widely used to predict phase behavior and Pressure-Volume-Temperature (PVT) properties, which are crucial for reservoir simulation, production forecasting, and enhanced oil recovery. However, their predictive accuracy diminishes when applied to complex … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 20 Dec 2025 · 2,761 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCuticular Chitin of the Wild Silkworm Saturnia Pyri: A Renewable Source for Applications Across Industrial SectorsZarintaj Shukurova, Yusif Shukurlu, Zarbali Khalilov, Madina SharifovaIn the context of a developing sustainable bioeconomy, the search for renewable sources of biopolymers as alternatives to traditional ones is of crucial importance. In this regard, insect cuticular waste represents a promising yet insufficiently explored raw material for obtaining chitin and chitosan. This study aimed to perform a comparative assessment of the extraction efficiency and quality of chitin and … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 3 · 7 Aug 2026 · 947 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Different Extraction Methods on the Quality of Peony Seed Oil and Its Emulsion PropertiesKang Li, Chao Du, Shuxian Pang et al.Peony seed oil, as a functional oil rich in ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and natural antioxidant components, has its extraction process directly affecting the maintenance of bioactive substances and the added value of the product. In this analysis, the effects of wet milling-micronized continuous leaching method (MCI), solvent extraction (SE), soxhlet extraction (SOXE) and ethanol-assisted enzymatic hydrolysis (EAH) on the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 3 · 28 Jan 2026 · 1,955 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTransverse Velocity, Transverse Boundary Shear Stress and Flow Deviation in Meandering Open ChannelsYoussef Ismail HafezThis study presents a novel approach for characterizing the mechanics of flow in mildly meandering open channels, specifically focusing on the development of a new vertical distribution equation for transverse velocity. Unlike existing equations in the literature that rely on complex logarithmic or integral forms or infinite series forms, which are impractical for hydraulic engineers, the proposed equation employs ordinary … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 25 Jul 2024 · 5,058 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Study of Diesel Engine Generator Performance and Emission Characteristics Using a Mixture of Jatropha Oil and Rubber Seed Oil Biodiesels Along a Two-Step TransesterificationFana Gebremedhin Gebremichael, Joao Fernando ChidamoioThis study investigates the performance and emission properties of engine-generator powered using various dual biodiesel mixes prepared from two inedible feedstock jatropha and rubber. Jatropha and rubber oils had high acid values, which were 13.96 and 27.91 mg KOH/g, respectively. Therefore, a two-step transesterification process was conducted to lower the acid value to 0.28 and 0.42 mg KOH/g for jatropha … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 3 · 1 Jul 2024 · 5,124 accessesView PDFCite
