Abstract: Delamination is a major failure mode in laminated composites and has received much research attention. A huge amount of literature has been published on this subject, resulting in considerable ...

Abstract: Ever since the discovery of the “popcorn” failure of plastic-encapsulated integrated-circuit (IC) packages in the 1980s, much effort has been devoted to understanding the failure mechanism and ...

Abstract: The palm‐oil industry produces large amounts of solid wastes. Shell and fiber wastes are used extensively as fuel for steam production in palm‐oil mills. After combustion, a large quantity of ash is produced and creates ...

Abstract: The influence of the thermal boundary condition at the combustor wall and combustor confinement on the dynamic flame response of a perfectly premixed axial swirl burner is investigated. Large eddy simulations are carried ...

Abstract: Sludge is an unavoidable by‐product of wastewater treatment. For highly urbanized cities, incineration of sludge might be a viable means of sludge disposal; however, a substantial amount of ash is produced by the burning ...

Abstract: Sludge resulting from wastewater treatment plants creates problems of disposal. Generally, dewatered sludges are disposed of by spreading on the land or by landfilling. However, for highly urbanized cities, sludge disposal ...

Abstract: Refuse incineration plants with energy recovery have been successfully operated in a developing country. Waste heat recovered from the boilers can be used to generate electricity; 155 kwh of electricity could be generated ...

Abstract: When waves pass through a channel, wave elevation is observed to increase, a phenomenon known as wave runup. Attempts are made to utilize the wave runup along a channel supported on a floating platform to enhance the energy ...

Abstract: This study demonstrates that aerobic granules can be developed to achieve high phenol loading rates in a sequencing batch reactor. The reactor was started at a loading rate of 1.5

Abstract: The oscillating wave surge converter (OWSC) is a type of ocean wave power device typically consisting of a flap, or arm, hinged at the bottom to allow forward and backward movement by surging waves, and is efficient in ...
