Characterization of Thermochemical Properties and Combustion Behavior In AP/HTPB Polymer Composite Solid Propellant for Enhanced Performance
Abstract: The thermal decomposition of solid propellants containing hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) binder is a complex process, driven by multiple interacting chemical and physical factors. Solid propellant combustion characteristics are profoundly influenced by the composition of the propellant, the conditions of pressure, the starting temperature, and a range of aero-thermochemical parameters. The paper explores the influence of polymeric structure in the HTPB binder on thermal decomposition characteristics of the AP/HTPB composite propellants …

Design of Evaporator and Condenser for Solar Adsorption Refrigeration System
Abstract: Solar adsorption refrigeration systems provide a promising alternative for sustainable cooling in regions with limited grid access and high solar availability because they can convert low-grade thermal energy into refrigeration without mechanical compression. The performance of such systems depends strongly on the thermal behavior of the evaporator and condenser, since these components govern the refrigerant evaporation rate, condensation effectiveness, and overall cycle stability. This paper presents focus on the design …

A Comparative Study on Formaldehyde Detection Capabilities in Pristine Graphene and Ag-doped Graphene Sheet
Abstract: The present work concerns a detailed investigation of the enhanced formaldehyde (also known as methanal) detection by decorating the pristine (or bare) graphene nanosheet with silver (Ag) nano-particle (or foreign Ag atom). The bare graphene sheet was exposed to the formaldehyde vapor forming the formaldehyde-adsorbed pristine graphene sheet (taken as Case-I), and whose results were studied and compared with the outcomes obtained from the formaldehyde-adsorbed Ag-decorated graphene sheet (taken as …

Nutrient–Xenobiotic Crosstalk in Dairy Cattle: Implications for Metabolism, Immunity, Health, and Productivity in Resilient Dairy Development
Abstract: Dairy cattle are routinely exposed to a wide range of xenobiotics, including mycotoxins, heavy metals, pesticides, residues from veterinary drugs, and plant secondary metabolites, through feed, water, and environmental sources. These xenobiotics, being foreign to biological systems, can interfere with the absorption, metabolism, and utilization of essential nutrients, while also compromising immune function, organ health, and overall physiological performance. Chronic or subclinical exposure can reduce feed efficiency, disrupt energy and …
