Analysis of an Airfoil with Rotating Cylinder for Improved Performance
(2019-04)
Among the multiple techniques used for boundary-layer control and flow separation delay, moving surface boundary-layer control is one of the promising approaches. Adding a rotating cylinder is one means of enhancing the ...
Hydrogen Supplement Co-combustion with Diesel in 2 Compression Ignition Engine
(Elsevier, 2015-10)
The present work investigates experimentally the behavior of compression ignition engine while boosting the combustion by enriching air-intake manifold with hydrogen supplement at the atmospheric condition. The study reports ...
Recent Advances in Femtosecond Laser-Induced Surface Structuring for Oil–Water Separation
(MDPI, 2019)
Femtosecond (FS) laser-induced surface structuring is a robust, maskless, non-contact, and single-step process for producing micro- and nanoscale structures on a material’s surface, which remarkably alters the optical, ...
A Framework for Sustainability-Oriented Innovation in Healthcare
(2019-12)
The concept of sustainability in healthcare has received significant attention in the last decade due to the associated progressive impacts on the environment. With the continuous growth and the associated challenges in ...
Operation of Battery Exchange Stations for Electric Vehicles
(2019-05)
Due to environmental and energy security concerns, low emission vehicles present a vital necessity for clean transportation. In particular, Electric Vehicles (EV) are the most promising solution due to the fact that the ...
Optimal Management of Mobile Energy Generation and Storage Systems
(2018-12)
As the global demand for energy increases, new technologies are needed to satisfy the necessity for the electrical network growth. As part of a Smart Grid (SG), Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) are adopted to enhance ...

PIRATA: A Sustained Observing System for Tropical Atlantic Climate Research and Forecasting
(American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2019)
Prediction and Research Moored Array in the Tropical Atlantic (PIRATA) is a multinational program initiated in 1997 in the tropical Atlantic to improve our understanding and ability to predict ocean‐atmosphere variability. ...
Electrochemical Studies on the Corrosion Behavior of Common Metals in Eutectic Ionic Liquids
(2017-05)
Recently, new green novel solvents called Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) were investigated as substitute for none environmentally friendly organic solvents and ionic liquids that are used in many applications such as metal ...
Treatment of Spent Caustic Using Ionic Liquids
(2017-04)
Treatment of spent caustic (SC) wastes from downstream of refineries and petrochemical industries is not only complex but also highly expensive due to its content of high concentration of hazardous compounds, high pH, ...
