Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntermittent Aeration in Biological Treatment of WastewaterH. Doan, A. LohiProblem statement: E-coating process is widely used to provide a protective coating layer on metal parts in the automotive and metal finishing industry. The wastewater from the coating process contains organic compounds that are used in the cleaning, pretreatment and coating steps. Organic pollutants can be removed biologically. In the aerobic biological treatment, water aeration accounts for a significant portion … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,139 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPneumatic and Hydraulic Systems in Coal Fluidized Bed CombustorZ. O. Opafunso, I. I. Ozigis, I. A. AdetundeProblem statement: This study designed the pneumatic and hydraulic systems in coal fluidized bed combustor. These are fluidization of silica sand bed material, Air distributor, centrifugal fan, electric motor power drive and surface heat exchanger. Approach: The effects of increased gas velocity on silica sand and the resultant drag force formed the basic equations in fluidization. Air distributor was introduced … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,722 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of an Air Assisted Fuel Atomizer (Liquid Siphon Type) for a Continuous CombustorPipatpong Watanawanyoo, Sumpun Chaitep, Hiroyuki HiraharaThis research was the study of a fuel injection system in continuous combustor. Air atomizing nozzle is developed to good efficiency injection and used low air pressure (68.95-275.79kPa) to assist the atomizing nozzle. Refined palm oil and automotive diesel oil were the fuels for the experiment for the system of atomization. The atomizer was designed in a manner that air … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,549 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChemical and Physical Characteristics of Cocopeat-Based Media Mixtures and Their Effects on the Growth and Development of Celosia cristataYahya Awang, Anieza Shazmi Shaharom, Rosli B. Mohamad, Ahmad SelamatProblem statement: Cocopeat is considered as a good growing media component with acceptable pH, electrical conductivity and other chemical attributes but it has been recognized to have high water holding capacity which causes poor air-water relationship, leading to low aeration within the medium, thus affecting the oxygen diffusion to the roots. Incorporation of coarser materials into cocopeat could improve the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 19,015 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReduction of Ammonia Loss by Mixing Urea with Liquid Humic and Fulvic Acids Isolated from Tropical Peat SoilSusilawati Kasim, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. Majid et al.Problem statement: Fertilizer N use efficiency is reduced by ammonia volatilization. Under low soil CEC and high pH, N from soil solution is released to the atmosphere. Ammonia loss due to low worldwide N use efficiency (33%) has been implicated in global warming. Thus, the objectives of this laboratory study were to evaluate the effectiveness of liquid humic and fulvic … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 9,521 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFlow Simulation in Engine Cylinder with Spring MeshM.H. Shojaeefard, A.R. NoorpoorThis investigation presents results from numerical simulation of the air flow in Spark Ignition Engine (SI engine) cylinder. Accurate modeling of the flow in cylinder is a key part of successful combustion simulation. The most usual numerical method in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is finite volume. In this investigation an important, common fluid flow patterns in CFD simulations, namely, Tumble … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,065 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Investigation of Single Pass, Double Duct Photovoltaic Thermal (PV/T) Air Collector with CPC and FinsM. Ebrahim Ali Alfegi, Kamaruzzaman Sopian, Mohd Yusof Hj Othman, Baharudin Bin YatimThe temperature of photovoltaic modules increases when it absorbs solar radiation, causing a decrease in efficiency. This undesirable effect can be partially avoided by applying a heat recovery unit with fluid circulation (air or water) with the photovoltaic module. Such unit is called photovoltaic/thermal collector (pv/t) or hybrid (pv/t). An experimental investigation of a solar air heater with photovoltaic cell … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2008 · 6,992 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigation of The Bubble Foam Separation Technique To Extract Protein From WheyMohammed MatouqSeparation of proteins from whey; namely α- Lactoglobulin and β- Lactalbumin was obtained using the bubble foam column technique. Two types of whey were conducted in this study; yogurt whey and cheese whey. The effect of gas flow-rate and the height of the whey (liquid holdup) inside the column were studied at room temperature and at constant pH of whey. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 May 2008 · 7,354 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Pulsating Circular Hot Air Jet Frequencies on Local and Average Nusselt NumberRozli Zulkifli, Kamaruzzaman Sopian, Shahrir Abdullah, Mohd Sobri TakriffThe study was carried out to determine the effect of pulsating frequencies on the local and average heat transfer characteristic of a heated circular air jet. The velocity profile of a heated circular pulsating air jet was measured in the first part of the study. The same set-up was used to measure the heat flux of the pulsating jet impinging … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,503 accessesView PDFCite
