Experimental investigation on phase change behavior of nanocomposite phase change material filled inside the shell and tube heat exchanger

In this paper, melting and solidification characteristics of composite PCM filled inside the shell and tube heat exchanger were investigated experimentally. ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized using the sol–gel method. Myristic acid (M...

Unveiling the Assembly of Neutral Marine Polysaccharides into Electrostatic-Driven Layer-by-Layer Bioassemblies by Chemical Functionalization

Marine-origin polysaccharides, in particular cationic and anionic ones, have been widely explored as building blocks in fully natural or hybrid electrostatic-driven Layer-by-Layer (LbL) assemblies for bioapplications. However, the low chemi...

Threshold Currents of Vacuum Arcs With Tungsten and Copper Cathodes

ABSTRACT This paper presents the results of an experimental study aimed at determining the threshold current for triggering a vacuum arc discharge, the probability of arc ignition and the average arc operation time depending on the current ...

Identification and evaluation of the effective criteria for detection of congestion in a smart city

Abstract The delay in transportation of necessary items is due to traffic congestion throughout the world. This is a serious phenomenon which results in waste of time and fuel. The detection of road conditions and dissemination of traffic i...

Research report on green and low-carbon development of superhard material industry

Under the background of the comprehensive implementation of the National Carbon Peak Carbon Neutralization Action, the superhard material industry energy consumption research was carried out. It aims to promote the superhard material indust...

Introducing the Walkability Index, an Index That Measures the Walkability of Public Spaces

In recent years an increasing number of cities and transport planning documents (such as Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan) aim to reduce car traffic and promote active modes of transport – walking and cycling. The development of active modes...

Complex structural evolution in BaTiO3 single crystals caused by the coexistence of competing anharmonic potentials

BaTiO3 (BTO) was the first ferroelectric perovskite oxide discovered in the 1940′th.. It was also the first ferroelectric compound without hydrogen bonds. Its wide applicability, together with its simple cubic structure, directly intensifie...

Experimental study on the impact of sulfate attack on the performance of shaft lining concrete under sustained compressive load

To investigate the impact of sulfate corrosion on the performance of shaft lining concrete under sustained compressive loads, this study immersed samples in a 10 % sodium sulfate solution after subjecting to sustained compressive loads of 0...

Formation of surfaces oxide vacancies in porous ZnCo2O4 nanoflowers for enhanced energy storage performance

Abstract A cost-effective and large-scale method for synthesizing ZnCo2O4 nanoflowers with surface oxygen vacancies as electrode materials for supercapacitors is presented. The existence of oxygen vacancies on the surface of the ZnCo2O4 nan...

Estimation of Time-Varying Coherence and Its Application in Understanding Brain Functional Connectivity

Time-varying coherence is a powerful tool for revealing functional dynamics between different regions in the brain. In this paper, we address ways of estimating evolutionary spectrum and coherence using the general Cohen's class distrib...

Nuclear engineering

“Atomic power” depends upon the possibility of producing a chain reaction, analogous to that of burning, which will be self-sustaining. Only when the fission of uranium was discovered did nuclear energy become of engineering concern. This i...
