Agricultural waste originating from the wine industry presents an environmental and economic issue. Grape seeds, a major constituent of grape pomace, are only partially valorized through oil extraction. The cake remaining after oil production is rich...

This study aimed to investigate the impact of ultrasonic pretreatment vacuum drying (UAVD) and temperature on drying kinetics and qualitative attributes of blood oranges in comparison to several drying methods: hot air drying (HAD), vacuum drying (VD...

An interpretable machine learning framework was constructed to predict the bandgap of silicon oxide materials used for electric furnace refractories. Among seven machine learning models compared, the AdaBoost ensemble model performed the best with an...

In a waste heat recovery rotary drum with flights (RDF), particle lifting enhances gas–solid contact but also increases the complexity of particle motion in both radial and axial directions. In this study, a long rotary drum model applicable to...

There is no analytical solution to the stress, strain and displacement changes in the inner sleeve of the downhole packer during service. In this paper, the inner sleeve structure is simplified based on the shell theory model, and the geometric equat...

Spent coffee grounds (SCG) are produced in large quantities during coffee brewing, contributing to environmental concerns. Additionally, cationic dyes from textile, paper, and leather wastewater pose a major pollution issue. This study explores SCG a...

Polyurethane (PU) is widely used due to its attractive properties, but the shift to a low-carbon economy necessitates alternative, renewable feedstocks for its production. This review examines the synthesis, properties, and sustainability of bio-base...

Investigating viable processes for the use of lignocellulosic biomass in clean fuels and high-value-added chemical products is essential for sustainable development. Large amounts of lignin are available every year as by-products of the paper and bio...

This investigation attempts to develop a tower solar collector-based system designed for the cogeneration of cooling and desalination. The traditional organic Rankine cycle (ORC) integrated with the ejector refrigeration cycle generates limited power...

The accurate estimation of the entry length required for a flow in a tube to transition from a uniform velocity profile to a fully developed state is crucial in many industrial processes. Although viscoelastic fluids are widely utilized in industrial...
