Abstract: This paper presents the development of a novel solid-phase methane fermentation process involving acidic bioleachate production from an organic bed and biomethanation of the bed-liquefaction products ...

Abstract: In this paper, the performance analysis of a floriculture greenhouse having a fan-pad ventilation system is presented. The greenhouse is powered by integrated solar photovoltaic–electrolyser–fuel ...

Abstract: Despite enormous progress in laser aided direct metal/material deposition (LADMD) process many issues concerning the adverse effects of process parameters on the stability of a variety of properties ...

Abstract: A new numeric-analytic technique is developed for two-point nonlinear boundary-value problems (BVPs) of engineering interest. The analytic part of the method is based on a conventional Adomian decomposition method (ADM). ...

Abstract: This paper describes a new method for design optimization of process variables in multi-pass wire drawing processes. An adaptive Micro Genetic Algorithm (μGA) has been implemented for minimizing ...

Abstract: The dynamic effect of suddenly applied centrifugal forces on homogeneous and isotropic turbulence in the entrance region of a curved pipe is analyzed by a perturbation method. The model is for ...

Abstract: In the present paper, the pressure drop characteristics and flow patterns during downward vertical flow of lube oil-water as well as kerosene-water through a circular glass conduit have been ...

Abstract: High strength low alloy (HSLA) steels, used in a wide variety of applications as structural components are subjected to cyclic loading during their service lives. Understanding the cyclic ...

Abstract: Natural-convection boundary-layer flow of a non-Newtonian fluid along a heated semi-infinite vertical flat plate with uniform surface temperature has been investigated using a four-parameter modified ...

Abstract: Mixed-convection boundary-layer flow over a heated semi-infinite vertical flat plate with uniform surface heat flux, placed in a uniform isothermal upward freestream, has been investigated. Near ...
