Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDouble Diffusive Convection Heat and Moisture Transfer Inside a Planted Roof Building Under Hot-Humid Climate: Case of Lomé City in West AfricaHodo-Abalo Samah, Magolmèèna Banna, Belkacem ZeghmatiPlanted roofs have been investigated as a passive cooling technology for energy efficiency purposes in buildings. More quantitative data on this topic are required to solve a lack of information for many specific regions. This study is focused on a numerical investigation of the thermal comfort inside a green roof rectangular ventilated cavity in a hot and humid climate like … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 7 Feb 2022 · 6,993 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPerformance Evaluation of an Oxidation Ditch System with a Disc AeratorAbdel Ghaly, Ashley ThistleProblem statement: The oxidation ditch system has been used to treat various types of wastewaters. Several types of aerators are used to supply the treatment process with oxygen. Among these devices, the disc aerator has certain advantages regarding foam generation over the brush and paddle type rotors, but the main disadvantages of this aerator is the limited oxygenation capacity. The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 7 · 24 Jun 2011 · 8,113 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractColiforms Diversity and Antibiotic Resistance in Kazakhstan CheeseAnar Kuzeubayeva, Altay Ussenbayev, Ali Aydin et al.Coliform bacteria contaminate dairy products and pose public health concerns including food poisoning and toxemia. We aimed to determine the species diversity of coliforms and to evaluate the resistance to antibiotics of E. coli in various types of cheese sold by local producers in Kazakhstan. We collected 197 samples from different cheeses sold by producers in the Kostanay (n = … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 2 · 22 Feb 2024 · 5,993 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalytical and Experimental Studies on the Thermal Efficiency of the Double-Pass Solar Air Collector with Finned AbsorberAhmad Fudholi, Kamaruzzaman Sopian, Mohd Hafidz Ruslan et al.Problem statement: The design of suitable air collectors is one of the most important factors controlling the economics of the solar drying. Air type collectors have two inherent disadvantages: Low thermal capacity of air and low absorber to air heat transfer coefficient. Different modifications are suggested and applied to improve the heat transfer coefficient between the absorber plate and air. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 7 · 24 Jun 2011 · 7,415 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeat-Modeling of Microwave Assisted Epoxidation of Palm Acid OilN. Saifuddin, L. Wei Zhan, K. Xin NingProblem statement: While microwave chemistry could well be the most convenient, rapid and energy-saving way to initiate a chemical reaction, the issues of thermal versus microwave specific effect remain unaddressed. Approach: A three-dimensional Finite Element Model (FEM) was developed to predict temperature profile during the enzymatic epoxidation of palm acid oil using microwave heating. Three-dimensional partial differential equations are formulated … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 25 Mar 2011 · 7,676 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHybrid Photovoltaic Thermal (PV/T) Air and Water Based Solar Collectors Suitable for Building Integrated ApplicationsAdnan Ibrahim, Goh Li Jin, Roonak Daghigh et al.Problem statement: Experiments have been conducted to investigate the effect of mass flow rates on the electrical, thermal and combined of photovoltaic thermal efficiencies of the hybrid collectors. Approach: Two photovoltaic thermal solar collectors were designed and fabricated. The first collector, known as spiral flow absorber collector, designed to generate hot water and electricity. The second collector, known as single … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2009 · 8,091 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Study of Flow Structures of Circular Pulsating Air JetRozli Zulkifli, Kamaruzzaman Sopian, Shahrir Abdullah, Mohd Sobri TakriffProblem Statement: Applications of impingement jets in industry for heating and cooling purposes requires a high convective heat transfer coefficient. Numerous studies have been conducted to improve the convective heat transfer coefficient for a steady impinging jet. A pulsating jet has a very high potential in replacing steady jet after it been found able to increase the heat transfer coefficients … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,778 accessesView PDFCite
