Biofuels have attracted significant attention in recent years as a potential replacement of fossil fuels. In order to test a new fuel, it is necessary to know its physiochemical properties. Fuel spray atomization of any fuel is the most critical proc...

Acoustic response from a freely responding symmetric airfoil subjected to gust is investigated in a two-dimensional numerical environment. Gust model is superimposed on the inlet velocity up till the critical flutter velocity. Second order transient...

Stirling engines are a type of reciprocating external combustion engine that uses one or more pistons to perform useful work with the help of some external heat. The Fluidyne design, also known as the liquid piston Stirling engine, uses liquid as pis...

Solar stills are generally used to obtain fresh and clean water from saline water sources using solar energy. This technique is very economical, as only the source of energy is solar energy. Many factors affect the efficiency of the solar stills, suc...

In this study, cellulose triacetate (CTA) hybrid membrane is successfully prepared via the phase-inversion method for bioethanol recovery through pervaporation. Nano zinc oxide (ZnO) particles are mixed into the polymer matrices of CTA to enhance the...

One of the potential refrigerants for refrigeration systems is liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) that can absorb latent heat from the surrounding and provide cooling, if introduced in liquid state. The present study determines the cooling effect produced...

Microfluidic paper-based analytical devices have broadened the scope of microfluidics by offering low-cost, simple, faster fabrication, biodegradability, and environmentally benign devices capable of medical diagnostics, environmental sensing, and fo...

There have been many studies performed on the optimal design and expansion of a natural gas transmission network; however, very few works have addressed the problem of the reinforcement of an existing natural gas transmission network with limited app...

The steam–water direct contact condensation (DCC) process is commonly observed in various industries due to its fast heat and mass exchange characteristics. This study investigates steam plume characteristics by experimentally condensing the st...
