A Comparative Study of the Structure-Property Relationships in CAD/CAM Milled vs. 3D-Printed High-Performance Polymers: Impact of Molecular Orientation on Abrasive Wear
Abstract: Background: The transition from subtractive to additive manufacturing in prosthetic dentistry has introduced significant variations in the macromolecular architecture of high-performance polymers. While CAD/CAM milling utilizes high-density, industrially polymerized blocks, 3D printing (Additive Manufacturing) relies on layer-by-layer deposition, which may induce anisotropic molecular orientation. This retrospective study investigates how these distinct manufacturing "thermal histories" influence the long-term abrasive wear resistance of PEEK and PEKK restorations.Materials and Methods: Data were retrospectively …

Thermo-Hydraulic Enhancement of Annular Finned Shell-and-Tube Heat Exchangers Using Epoxy-Based Polymer Composites: A Material–Geometry Coupled CFD Investigation
Abstract: Shell-and-tube heat exchangers remain a backbone of industrial thermal systems, yet their performance is often limited by relatively low shell-side heat transfer and the weight and cost associated with conventional metallic components. In this context, the integration of polymer composite materials offers a promising pathway toward lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and performance-tunable heat exchanger designs. The present study investigates the thermo-hydraulic performance of a straight-tube shell-and-tube heat exchanger equipped with annular fins, …

Corrosion and Corrosion Protection of Cast iron due to Bio-organism
Abstract: Cast iron is a high tensile strength metal. It is generally used for making tools, pipe fitting, electrical fitting equipment and rail track. It interacts with corrosive substances to develop electrochemical cell on their interface. Corrosive substances are acids, bases, salts, bio-wastes, particulates and pollutants. These substances produce hostile medium for materials. These harmful wastes discharge by industries, households, agricultural, urbanization, development of infrastructure, construction works, thermal power stations, hydropower, …

Support Vector Machine Inspired Load Forecasting of a State University in Haryana
Abstract: Estimating the possible environmental impact and determining probable capital requirements are made easier with a solid grasp of electricity demand. Beginning in the middle of the 20th century, demand forecasting for electric power networks was studied theoretically. Prior to that, the study of demand forecasting had not developed because of the small scale of power networks. With the use of statistical prediction techniques, plans for the electric power industry have …

Comprehensive Thermal and Environmental Investigation of An Enhanced Evacuated Tube Solar Water Heater with Wavy Tape and Latent Heat Storage
Abstract: Evacuated tube solar collectors (ETSCs) are widely used for thermal energy applications; however, enhancing their thermal and exergetic efficiency remains a challenge. This study investigates performance enhancements through structural and material alterations. Four ETSC cases were tested experimentally, case-1: a standard ETSC, case-2: Wavy tape (WT) inserted ETSC, case-3: Phase change material (PCM) integrated ETSC, and case-4: Dual-Enhanced ETSC (PCM + WT). A binary eutectic PCM was utilized for latent …

Failure Analyses of 16 mm Thick SA 516 GR 70 Auto Clave
Abstract: With the acceleration of global industrialization, there is a demand for high-or low-pressure storage of liquids or gases. Because of the complicated operating conditions that will inevitably encounter a possible hazard, pressure vessel design is a critical responsibility. Previous failure studies have revealed that the presence of local loads and discontinuities increases pressure vessel fracture. As a result, a detailed examination of pressure vessel steel from the standpoint of fracture …
