NOx reduction of biodiesel operated diesel engine using different techniques: (EGR, steam injection and emulsification)
(2018)
The increase in world population has led to the growth in energy demand. The primary sources of this energy come from the combustion of conventional fuels, which are contributing to polluting the environment. Biodiesel ...
Lignin-based flocculant and dispersant for wastewater treatment
(2018)
The wastewaters produced from different industries contain fine and charged suspended particles and other impurities. Today, the removal of these colloidal particles from the wastewater has become a serious challenge for ...
The effect of facial protection, impact location, and neckform stiffness on peak linear acceleration, risk of injury, and energy loading measures of horizontal impacts on a hockey helmet
(2018)
Helmets were originally designed and implemented to protect players from skull fractures and traumatic brain injuries by minimizing linear impact accelerations. The sport of hockey, however, has evolved, and now includes ...
Thermophilic anaerobic membrane bioreactor for pulp and paper sludge treatment
(2018)
Pulp and paper mills generate a significant amount of organic waste (primary and secondary
sludge) that requires treatment and disposal. Currently, pulp and paper sludge (PPS) is either
dried for incineration or used for ...
