Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleInvestigation of the Characteristics of Thulium Doped Alumina Nanoparticles for Applications in Silica-Based FibersNur Atiqa Bt Rahmat, Hairul Azhar Abd Rashid, H.Y. Wong, Mukter ZamanIt is reported that during the fabrication of doping RE ions into the silica preform, the distribution of particles is inhomogeneous and becomes uneven throughout the fiber which lead to unwanted spectroscopic characteristics. It is assumed that by using thulium doped with alumina, the problem with the inhomogeneity of the particles inside the fiber can be solved. With the incorporation … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 26 Jan 2017 · 7,411 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleTHE STRUCTURE AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF ALUMINA FILM PREPARED BY RF DIODE SPUTTERINGH. Panitchakan, P. LimsuwanAlumina (Al2O3) films were prepared on Al2O3-TiC substrates by RF diode sputtering. The target sputtering power was varied from 4 to 8 kW. The effects of target sputtering power on the structure and mechanical properties of alumina films were investigated. The results show that the structure of the alumina films deposited at all the target sputtering powers is amorphous. However, … …Physics International, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 17 Jul 2013 · 6,897 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleInsulating Properties of Low Density Polyethylene/Alumina NanocompositesSi-Jiao Wang, Jun-Wei Zha, Yun-Hui Wu et al.High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) cable has become an important factor in the development of HVDC transmission. However, there are still difficulties such as space charge distribution in the development of HVDC cables. In this study, Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) nanocomposites filled with nano alumina (nano-Al2O3) particles with or without modification were prepared by employing melting blend method. The results show … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 4 Jul 2015 · 7,936 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of Y2O3 Additions on Microstructure and Properties of Alumina–Magnesia CeramicsAurawan Rittidech, Pimpun Wisuwan, Thitima PinkhunthodThe purposes of this research are to prepare and investigate the characterization of 0.7MgO-xY2O3-(99.3-x)Al2O3 by varies x at 0.0, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0 and 10.0 wt% (AMY). AMY samples were synthesized by solid state reaction under two different sintering methods conventional sintering method (NS) and two stage sintering method (TS). Ceramic samples were sintered by conventional sintering at 1600°C for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 8 · 30 Oct 2018 · 8,029 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of Nano-Alumina on Pore Structure and Durability of Class F Fly Ash Self-Compacting MortarEhsan Mohseni, Konstantinos Daniel TsavdaridisIn this study the effect of pore structure on the mechanical properties and durability characteristics of Self-Compacting Mortars (SCM) containing nano-Al2O3 (NA) and class F fly ash are investigated. Al2O3 nanoparticles with the maximum size of 15 nm in three different proportions of 1, 3 and 5% of the binder content were utilized to partially replace the cement. The 25% … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 14 Apr 2016 · 9,472 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStructural Integrity Assessment of High-Pressure Vessels for Hydrogen Storage Using Finite Element AnalysisPinar Mert Cuce, Erdem Cuce et al.Hydrogen is not only present in the structure of most substances but also attracts attention as a clean energy source. The fact that hydrogen only releases water through combustion and possesses high energy potential provides a significant advantage as an alternative energy source. This paper presents a numerical investigation into the stress and deformation behaviour of high-pressure vessels used in … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 13 Jun 2026 · 1,498 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSIMULTANEOUS OPTIMISATION OF DRYING PARAMETERS OF CERAMIC BODIESSalah Mahmoudi, Ezzeddine Srasra, Fouad ZargouniThis study deals with the mineralogical, physico-chemical and geotechnical analyses of representative Aptian clays in the north-east of Tunisia. X-ray diffraction reveals a predominance of illite (50-60 wt.%) associated to kaolinite and interstratified illite/smectite. The accessory minerals detected in raw materials are quartz, calcite and Na-feldspar. The average amounts of silica, alumina and alkalis are 52, 20 and 3.5 wt.%, … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 1 Jul 2014 · 6,991 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTHE HIGH VOLUME REUSE OF HYBRID BIOMASS ASH AS A PRIMARY BINDER IN CEMENTLESS MORTAR BLOCKCheah Chee Ban, Noor Shazea Ahmad Nordin, Part Wei Ken et al.High Calcium Wood Ash (HCWA) and Pulverised Fuel Ash (PFA) are by-products from the wood biomass and coal energy production which are produced in large quantity with combined annual production of 500 million tonnes. This poses a serious problem for disposal of the waste material especially at places where land is scarce. The prescribed study was aimed to examine the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 8 · 29 May 2014 · 7,162 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMIXED CONVECTION BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW ON A VERTICAL SURFACE IN A POROUS MEDIUM SATURATED BY A NANOFLUID WITH SUCTION OR INJECTIONM. H.M. Yasin, N. M. Arifin, R. Nazar et al.An analysis of the steady mixed convection boundary layer flow past a vertical permeable surface embedded in a porous medium saturated by a nanofluid is performed in this study. Numerical solutions of the similarity equations are obtained using the shooting method.
