The effective utilization of solar energy is feasible by matching the energy supply to demand
with selective solar collectors and energy storage. Solar thermal systems with thermal …

The preparation of conventional alloy coatings on workpiece surfaces is increasingly
inadequate to meet the requirements for tribological properties under extreme service …

Excellent thermal characteristics of homogeneous dispersion of nano-sized particles in a
carrier fluid (nanofluid) make it appealing for use in a variety of thermal applications. The …

Corrosion is regarded as one of great challenges for the application of salts-based phase
change materials. To address such problem, a novel skeleton of modified diatomite-based …

Si/Al-based adsorbents are effective adsorbents for capturing heavy metals in incineration
flue gases at high temperatures in the furnace. In this work, the adsorption characteristics …

The selective hydrogenation of alkynes to alkenes is widely applied in the chemical industry;
nevertheless, achieving highly selective hydrogenation with high catalytic activity is …

In this paper, we designed and fabricated a liquid-repellent coating that features both
superhydrophobicity and superoleophobicity, viz. Superamphiphobic properties, based on …

The polyacrylamide gel method was used to fabricate the Ca 1-x Co x Al 12 O 19, Ca 1-x Ni
x Al 12 O 19, CaAl 12-x In x O 19 and CaAl 12-x W x O 19 (x= 0–0.5) pigments. The phase …

This is a numerical study that analysis the heat extraction potential of solar collector tubes by
assembling a couple of nozzles at the sealed end of the pipe to make swirl flow. Swirl flow …

This research examines the energy absorption efficiency of a cylindrical solar collector
(CSC), and two flat plate solar collectors (FPSC). One of the FPSCs has larger plate area but …
