The study investigates the effect of aluminium oxide nanoparticles as an additive to Madhuca Indica (mahua) methyl ester blends on performance, emission analysis of a single-cylinder direct injection diesel engine operated at a constant speed at different operating conditions. The test fuels are indicated as B10A0.2, B10A0.4, B20A0.2, B20A0.4 and diesel respectively. The results indica...

Nano-sized γ-Al2O3 was synthesized successfully by a simple method using Al2(SO4)3·18H2O as aluminium source and in the presence of polyethylene glycol (PEG 2000). FTIR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) were used to characterize the structure and morphology of synthesized powder. The results showed that PEG playe...

This paper aims to develop models for the thermal conductivity and viscosity of hybrid nanofluids aluminium oxide titanium dioxide (Al2O3-TiO2). The study investigates impact fluid temperature (283 K–298 K) on performance a plate heat exchanger using Al2O3-TiO2 with different particle volume ratios (0:5, 1:4, 2:3, 3:2, 4:1, 5:0) prepared 0.1% concentration in deionised water. Experimental evalu...

the aim of this manuscript is to study the implication of aluminium-oxide nanofluid for an amphibious vehicle engine (viable on land and under water) cooling system both analytically and experimentally. to achieve this, a one-dimensional model of the engine cooling system (radiator) is considered through a computational fluid code in which the mass flow rate for a range of the coolant temperatu...

accumulation of aluminium by plants exposed to nano- and microsized particles of al2o3 wasinvestigated in terms of risk assessment and possible application in phytoremediation of contaminated sites.four plant species (allium cepa l., zea mays, lepidium sativum and kalanchoe daigremontiana)were cultivatedon media (soil or liquid medium) contaminated with nano- and microparticles of al2o3. bioava...

The choice of ceramic-on-ceramic coupling in total hip prosthesis has advantages over couplings with other combinations materials that use polyethylene and metal terms high hardness, scratch resistance, low wear rate, increased lubrication performance. To reduce the risk primary postoperative failure, selection ceramic for is a strategic step needs to be taken. current study aims analyze common...

Cellulose insulation polymer (paper/pressboard) has been widely used in high voltage direct current (HVDC) transformers. One of the most challenging issues in the insulation material used for HVDC equipment is the space charge accumulation. Effective ways to suppress the space charge injection/accumulation in insulation material is currently a popular research topic. In this study, an aluminium...

The implementation of the achievements in material science both through history as well as today, is directly indicated in the improvement of the efficiency of transport means which then results in the improvement of the technology of traffic and transport. Today’s requirements in the area of engineering materials intended for the construction of transport means impose reduction of mass as one ...

Electron Beam Melting (EBM R ©) is a near-net-shape additive manufacturing technology developed by Arcam AB, where Ti-6Al-4V alloy powder is commonly used to manufacture medical implants and components for the aerospace industry. Although Arcam has developed special specifications of some parameters for the powders, the powders from different manufacturers do not behave in the same way in the E...

In this study, two new Ni/La-Al2O3 catalysts were prepared by a sol-gel method, with different aluminium precursors (aluminium triisopropoxide and aluminium nitrate). The catalysts were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD), BET specific surface area, and particle size analysis (PSA) techniques. The BET results showed that the par...
