Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Municipal Solid Waste Compost on the Growth and Production of Vegetable CropsA.E. Ghaly, F.N. AlkoaikProblem statement: MSW has traditionally been dealt with thorough the practice of land filling and incineration. However, deleterious environmental impacts have promoted municipalities in Canada to recycle non-putrescible wastes and compost the putrescible ones. This study aimed at evaluating the effect of MSW compost on the growth and production of three vegetable crops (potatoes, corn and squash). Approach: Each crop … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,799 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Performance of Uncoated Tungsten Carbide Insert in End Milling Titanium Alloy Ti-6Al 4V through Work Piece PreheatingL. Turnad Ginta, Mohd Amri Lajis, A.K.M. Nurul AminProblem statement: Titanium alloys have been used widely in the aerospace, chemical and petroleum industry because of their high specific strength, fracture resistance and superior resistance to corrosion. Titanium alloys have a very high strength-to-weight ratio making them very suitable for aircraft engines and airframe manufacture. Approach: The use of titanium alloys as engine component materials is due to their … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,905 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe 2D Eulerian Approach of Entrained Flow and Temperature in a Biomass Stratified Downdraft GasifierA. Rogel, Jasni AguillónThis paper describes a “1-D+2-D” numerical model used to simulate the gasification of pine wood pellets in a stratified downdraft gasifier whereby Eulerian conservation equations are solved for particle and gas phase components, velocities and specific enthalpies. The model takes into account the biomass particle process such as heating up, drying, primary pyrolysis of biomass, secondary pyrolysis of tar, homogeneous … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2006 · 7,257 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordModeling and Performance Analysis of a Petroleum-Pipeline-Pressure-Boosting Station Powered by Two-Shaft GT EngineYousef S. H. Najjar, Mohammad Z. M. Yousef, Aad M. A. Al-MahgariThis study offers modeling and performance analysis of a pressure-boosting station for petroleum pipelines using a sustainable two-shaft GT engine to drive a three-stage centrifugal pump. The modeling is divided into three steps; matching the GT engine components at the maximum efficiency line, matching the pump performance with the requirements of the pipeline system to generate the pump load curve, … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 18 Jan 2022 · 10,515 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordExperimental Investigation on Performance and Emission Characteristics of Low Heat Rejection Diesel Engine with Ethanol as FuelP. Lawrence, P. Koshy Mathews, B. DeepanrajProblem statement: Depleting petroleum reserves on the earth and increasing concerns about the environment leads to the question for fuels which are eco-friendly safer for human beings. The objective of present work was to investigate the effect of coating on piston, cylinder head and valves of a Diesel engine on the performance and emission characteristics of exhaust gases using wet … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 18 Apr 2011 · 7,224 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordThermal Hydraulic Analysis of Double Ended Hot Leg Pipeline Break Accident in AP1000 ReactorM.M. Sadeghiazad, F. Choobdar RahimIn the present research, the Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA), as a postulated accident in nuclear reactors, in its worst condition called large LOCA has been modeled. A specific type of large LOCA in which a totally guillotine break occurs in the hot leg pipe is the Double Ended Hot Leg (DEHL). Once the ‘LOCA’ occurs, the pipe is break … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 14 May 2020 · 7,665 accessesView PDF Cite
