RISZirconia-Supported Copper Oxide—A Catalyst for Removal of Vehicular Exhaust Gas Pollutants
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Copper oxide and zirconia-supported copper oxide catalysts were tested for their catalytic activity for carbon monoxide and propylene oxidation reactions. The synthesized catalyst was supported by wet impregnation on ...
Predicting Direct Runoff from Hilly Watershed Using Geomorphology and Stream-Order-Law Ratios: Case Study
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Prediction of direct runoff using geomorphologic instantaneous unit hydrograph (GIUH) for a fourth-order hilly subwatershed of the Ramganga River Catchment in Uttarakhand (India) is presented. Based on kinematic-wave theory, ...
Consolidation and Compressibility Behavior of Compacted Nanoclay-Amended Bentonite Liners Inundated with Inorganic Salt Solutions
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The hazardous waste leachates from landfills and tailing disposal facilities pose a severe threat to environmental ecosystems if they infiltrate through the barrier component. Bentonite and its amendments are frequently ...
Influence of Fiber Orientation and Material Anisotropy in Hydroelastic Response of Laminated Composite Cycloidal Propeller Blade
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Composite materials are increasingly favored propellers, hydrofoils, waterjets, and other marine vessel components for their high stiffness-to-weight ratios and anisotropic properties. The fiber orientation of laminates ...
Physicochemical Characterization and Pyrolysis Kinetic Study of Sugarcane Bagasse Using Thermogravimetric Analysis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The present study was conducted to investigate the physicochemical properties and pyrolysis kinetics of sugarcane bagasse (SB). The physiochemical properties of SB were determined to examine its potential for pyrolysis. ...

Removal of Endosulfan from Water Using Wood Charcoal—Adsorption and Desorption
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Endosulfan, one of the most widely used pesticides in various sectors including agriculture, has been reported posing a threat to the ecology as well as to the environment. Contamination of groundwater and surface water ...
Improved Self Tuning Fuzzy Proportional–Integral–Derivative Versus Fuzzy Adaptive Proportional–Integral–Derivative for Speed Control of Nonlinear Hybrid Electric Vehicles
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The objective of this paper is to identify the suitable advance controller among optimized proportional–integral–derivative (OPID), improved selftuning fuzzyPID (ISTFPID), advanced fuzzy nonadaptive PID (AFNAPID), and ...
Competitive Sorption of Pesticides onto Treated Wood Charcoal and the Effect of Organic and Inorganic Parameters on Adsorption Capacity
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents competitive sorption of coexisting pesticides onto treated wood charcoal and describes the effect of various water quality parameters, viz., pH, ionic strength, chloride concentration, presence of calcium ...
Consolidation Characteristics of Sand–Bentonite Mixtures and the Influence of Sand Particle Size
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Hydromechanical characteristics of sand–bentonite mixtures, which are generally used as geotechnical barriers, are a well-documented research interest. Because bentonite is a relatively costly material, most of the research ...
