Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Moisture Content on Thermal Properties of Adobe Bricks as a Sustainable Building MaterialSuleman Modu NgaramThe adobe is a widely used traditional material in popular building construction in rural areas of Northeastern, Nigeria and more generally in African countries. In order to increase comfort and energy efficiency of buildings, it is necessary to better consider the thermal properties of the adobe. Adobes at different locations as a function of moisture content have been studied. Thermal … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 15 Apr 2020 · 10,260 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Investigation of Mold Cavity Pressure of Self-Clamping Molds During Solid Tire ManufacturingSadeep Amantha Mawathage, Jayashingha Arachchige Indika Sanjeewa, Nirosh Dilruk JayaweeraThis study investigates the mold cavity pressure in self-clamping molds used for solid tire manufacturing, a sector where Sri Lanka is a leading global supplier. Our research presents a detailed investigation into the mold cavity pressure of self-clamping molds used in solid tire production. By integrating experimental data, the effects of critical parameters such as clamp bolt torque, final tire … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 2 Oct 2025 · 2,971 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Experimental Investigation of a Novel Solar Collector with a W-Shape CoverEdoun Marcel, Djimasra Bonheur, Kuitche Alexis, Zeghmati BelkacemIn the current study, we developed and tested a new type of solar collector named W-shape solar collector. It is a solar collector with single air pass between the transparent cover and the absorber. The cover has double glass whereby the upper glass is flat and the lower glass is w-shape. The absorber is also W-shape. This combination gave rise … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 19 Sep 2019 · 7,633 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Yield of the Thermal EnginesNicolae Petrescu, Florian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuThis paper presents an algorithm for determining the dynamic parameters of the main classic mechanism of internal combustion engines. It shows the distribution of forces (on the main engine mechanism) to internal combustion engines. With these forces and together with the kinematic coupling speeds, the efficiency of the thermal engine is determined. The method applies separately for two distinct situations: … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 14 May 2019 · 6,194 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModelling and Assessment of Effect of Operation Parameters on Gas Turbine Power Plant Performance using First and Second Laws of ThermodynamicsSunday Olayinka Oyedepo, Richard Olayiwola Fagbenle, Samuel Sunday AdefilaIn this study, modelling of gas turbine engine performance is carried out using thermodynamics relations. The model reveals that the influence of operation parameters such as compression ratio, turbine inlet temperature and ambient temperature has significant effect on the performance of gas turbine engine. Energy and exergy analyses were conducted to evaluate the performance of the selected power plant and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 3 May 2017 · 7,923 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractYield at Thermal Engines Internal CombustionRelly Victoria V. Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Bilal Akash et al.The paper presents an algorithm to set the parameters of the dynamics of the classic mechanism the main of internal combustion. It shows the distribution of the forces (on the main mechanism of the engine) on engines with internal combustion. With these strong points and together with speeds of kinematic couplings shall be determined when the output of the engine … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 20 Mar 2017 · 7,976 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractThe Timeless Contribution of Rootstocks towards Successful Horticultural Farming: From Ancient Times to the Climate Change EraIoannis E. PapadakisGrafting is a horticultural practice by which living vegetative plant organs (root, stem and/or buds) of either the same genotype or, usually, different genotypes belonging to the same species, genus, subfamily and/or family, are tightly connected to each other to form a double-compound plant. In fact, it is a method of asexual (clonal-vegetative) propagation of plants. The basal part of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 16 Dec 2016 · 9,527 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractArchitecture of Low Power Energy Harvester Using Hybrid Input of Solar and Thermal for Laptop or Notebook: A ReviewHanani Mohamed Nadzirin, Jahariah Sampe, Muhammad Shabiul Islam, Noorfazila KamalThis paper aims to develop and design the architecture of Low Power Hybrid Energy Harvester (LPHEH) using the hybrid input of solar and thermal that can be harvested for self-powered laptop or notebook. This research will focus on the development of the high performance boost power converter to power up any laptop or notebook and design power management system of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 9 · 11 Sep 2016 · 7,642 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Investigation on Turbulent Forced Convection in Heating Channel Inserted with Discrete V-Shaped BafflesAmnart Boonloi, Withada JedsadaratanachaiThe numerical examinations on flow visualization, heat transfer characteristic and performance improvement in a square duct inserted with discrete V-shaped baffles (DVB) are reported. The DVB is designed to reduce the pressure loss when compared with the V-shaped baffle. The influences of the flow blockage ratios (b/H, BR = 0.05-0.20), V-tip directions (V-Downstream and V-Upstream) are investigated for Reynolds number, … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 15 Apr 2016 · 7,118 accessesView PDFCite
