The heat transfer surfaces of heat exchangers are usually made of metals which may suffer from severe corrosion. When corrosive fluids are present, highly corrosion-resistant metals, graphite or ceramics are used, resulting in high costs. This study...
To alleviate the shock boundary layer interaction adverse effects, various active or passive flow control strategies have been investigated in the literature. This research sheds light on the behavior of perforated plates as passive flow control tech...
This paper explores the application of conceptual hydrological models in optimizing the operation of hydroelectric power plants (HPPs) in steppe regions, a crucial aspect of promoting low-carbon energy solutions. The study aims to identify the most s...
This study emphasizes the urgent need for systems that monitor the operational states of primary electrical equipment, particularly power transformers. The rapid digitalization of and increasing data volumes from substations, coupled with the inabili...
This paper outlines the development phases of a wave-driven Helicon Plasma Thruster for cutting-edge Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellations. The two-stage ambipolar electric propulsion (EP) system combines the efficient ionization of an ultra-compact h...
Shipping containers that remain in ports after exporting or importing products cause an environmental and logistical problem. Transporting them to the port of origin is costly; therefore, some of them are stored in the regions of destination. Recycli...
Ultrasonic pretreatment is a crucial step in the bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass, such as peapods, into valuable products. Ultrasonic pretreatment is a highly effective physical method that utilizes ultrasonic waves to enhance various proces...
As space missions proliferate and the payload requirements increase, the environmental impact of thrusters can no longer be considered negligible. Therefore, less impactful fuels such as methane are starting to be considered for launchers. In this pa...
