EHD dispersion of atmospheric aerosols through a vertical channel with temperature distributions
Priya Meena, P. NirmalaThe electrohydrodynamic (EHD) dispersion of atmospheric aerosols consisting of a couple stress fluid through a vertical channel, when the walls are held at different temperatures…
Study of tribological performance of selected thermal sprayed polymers
C. Lima, L. Siqueira, F. CamargoThermal spray processes have a broad application in both manufacturing and maintenance. Thermal spray is a group of processes in which metallic and nonmetallic materials, finely…
Physical mechanical properties and microstructure analyses on effect of incorporating cigarette butts in fired clay bricks
A. Kadir, A. MohajeraniSeveral trillion cigarettes produced worldwide annually lead to many thousands of kilograms of toxic waste. Cigarette butts (CBs) accumulate in the environment due to the poor…
Estimate of CLD increase laminated plate and shell low-velocity impact strength
Guangmin LuoFRP laminated structures enjoy the advantages of a low mass and high specific strength. However, the utilization of laminated forming methods causes these structures to become…
Column leaching test to study effect of cover of fly ash for preventing acid mine drainage from coal waste
Ma Baoguo, Zhang Mingliang, Hu ZhenqiCoal waste that releases highly acidic, sulfate and metals rich drainage is a serious environmental problem which causes the contamination of surface and ground water as well as…
