Despite the potentials of dual reinforced particulate polymer composites to produce outstanding composite with enhanced wear properties, scholars have devoted insignificant attention to them. This paper introduces five ...

Characterization of synthesized cassava stem nanoparticles (CSNPs) was carried out using SEM/EDX and Gwyddion software, XRD and TEM for cassava stem (CS) ball milled at 36, 48, 60 and 72 h. The morphology study was done ...

The activities of man affect the environment which in turn influences the climate. This study assesses these human activities by determining the perceived impact of oil spill and its attendant explosion and fire has on the ...

The reduction in weight, increase in stiffness and increase in strength of a metal matrix composite (MMC) connecting rod when compared to the conventional steel connecting rod have motivated researchers in this area ...

The study on the physio-mechanical behavior of aluminum dross has been carried out. The amount of aluminum dross used varied between 50 and 90 wt %, while bentonite added to the dross varied from 10- 50 wt % with a fixed ...

Physical and numerical simulations study of heat input dependence of cracking in the weld heat affected zone (HAZ) in a nickel base superalloy, IN 718, was performed. Gleeble thermo‐mechanical physical simulation showed ...

The quest for quality brake pads employed both in civil and military aircrafts to ensure safety continues to attract attention. Mill scale reinforced silica-magnesia hybrid composite represents a potential new generation ...

Physical properties such as apparent density, bulk density, compressibility index and particle sizes of carbonized and uncarbonized coconut shell nanoparticles produced through top down approach have been studied. Percentage ...

This paper studies the physico-mechanical and thermal properties of insulating refractory bricks developed from selected Nigerian fireclays and agroforestry wastes. The as-received clays and agroforestry wastes were air ...

The overall safety of an aircraft requires that structural parts meet operational aerodynamic critical mechanical characteristics. This paper evaluated two critical mechanical properties of iron millscale (IMS) particles ...

In this work, Picard iteration method is used to obtain analytical expressions for the prediction of molar concentration of native and denatured jack bean urease (EC 3.5.1.5) through the three-reaction steps kinetic model ...

This paper examines how the Poisson distribution is being used to model the tensile properties of selected particulate reinforced polymer composites. While past studies have shown that the Taguchi method provides robust ...

Tissue engineering is a field that has gained a lot of advancement since the discovery of biopolymers. Biopolymers are polymers produced by living organisms; that is, they are polymeric biomolecules. They consist of monomeric ...

The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) stated that Nigeria generates around 3080 MW of electricity but with actual estimated demand of 10,000 MW. Due to the low electricity generation, total energy consumption ...

This paper presents the results of a study on the potential use of pulverized bone (PB) as a pozzolanic material and supplementary cementing material in the production of concrete. Tests were ...

A distribution network connected to rural consumers is often quite weak due to the long distance. Hence, an increase in power demand over this network will result to power quality problems. The main cause of this ...

Concrete is an important construction material, and presently the production cost is becoming unreasonably higher and increasing exorbitantly, which was believed to be the result of high price of cement. These suggested ...

This work employs the T6 heat treatment process to aluminium-clay (Al-Clay) composite consisting of 15 wt% clay. The samples were solutionized at 500°C, 550°C and 600°C, and were quenched in air, oil and water. Selected ...
