Experimental studies of a Ranque-Hilsch vortex tube
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)
Vortex tube is a device that separates a compressed flow of gas into two streams
simultaneously, one giving kinetic energy to the other, resulting one hotter than the inlet
temperature and one lower, without having any ...
General lifetime damage model for glass fibre reinforced epoxy (GRE) composite pipes under multiaxial loading
(Trans Tech Publications, 2014)
This paper presents the modelling of a general lifetime performance for glass fibre reinforced epoxy (GRE) composite pipes similar to the well-known Tsai-Hill interactive failure criterion. Tsai Hill criterion is based on ...
Effectiveness–NTU correlation for low temperature PCM encapsulated in spheres
(Elsevier Ltd., 2012-05)
The applicability of the effectiveness–NTU method for characterising a PCM thermal energy storage system was experimentally investigated. The system consisted of PCM encapsulated in spheres with a liquid heat transfer ...
Optimising PCM thermal storage systems for maximum energy storage effectiveness
(Elsevier Ltd., 2012-09)
A new performance parameter for PCM thermal storage systems, the energy storage effectiveness, is defined. This parameter can be used to optimise the design of any PCM thermal storage system to maximise the use of the ...
Investigation of conducting pins in sphere filled with phase change material for enhancing heat transfer in thermal energy storage
(Trans Tech Publications., 2012)
The utilisation of phase change material (PCM) for thermal energy storage (TES) can significantly enhance the energy savings achievable with renewable thermal systems. Sphere based packed bed systems have been used as TES ...
The Optimization of the Hydroxyapatite (HA) Material Characteristics Produced from Corbiculacea (Etok) Shells
(IOP Publishing, 2019)
Hydroxyapatite commonly used in medical field for tissue disease, bone disease, drug delivery and also for non-medical field purpose such as wastewater treatment. Due to excellent biocompatibility and bioactive properties, ...
The Characterization of Bario Rice Starch-nanoHA Scaffolds using SEM and Dielectric Measurement
(IOP Publishing, 2019)
Bone tissue scaffold had been ventured for over the decades as a solution for bone failure and trauma. Starch is the most common natural polymer that has been used as a biomaterials and a good candidate for scaffold ...
