A Smart Framework that Combines Data Mining and Optimization for Different Applications
Abstract: Blending predictive data mining with metaheuristic optimization has become essential for tackling tough, real-world problems across all kinds of fields. Most existing methods stick to fixed algorithms, each focused on a tiny slice of the puzzle, barely budging when new variables or unpredictability show up—especially with messy, human-generated data. So, here’s the idea: a Unified Metaheuristic and Predictive Data Mining (UMPDM) framework that finally connects adaptive search methods with powerful …

Ultrasonic Dispersion of Halloysite Nanotubes for Enhanced Mechanical, Thermal, and Morphological Performance of Epoxy Composites
Abstract: Halloysite nanotube (HNT)-reinforced epoxy nanocomposites were prepared by mixing HNT with bisphenol-A epoxy (LY 556) using ultrasonication, followed by compression molding. HNT contents of 0–5 wt.% were used. The composites were evaluated for tensile strength, flexural strength, Shore D hardness, Izod impact strength, and thermal stability using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The fractured tensile surfaces were also examined to understand the failure mechanism and interaction between HNT and the epoxy matrix. …

Numerical Analysis of Cyclone Separator
Abstract: The fluid dynamics of a three-dimensional cyclone separator were studied computationally. Commercial CFD software package, Fluent was used for the simulation. A multiphase Eulerian-Eulerian model incorporating the kinetic theory of granular flow (KTGF) was applied for simulating the air-solid movement. Momentum exchange coefficients were calculated using the Gidaspow drag functions. The kinetic energy fluctuation of mixture was characterized by varying the pressure values from 98Pa to 180Pa. Further computational and …

Formation, Analysis and Characterization of Wood Pyrolysed Oil
Abstract: Pyrolysis of wood is the possible path for converting biomass to higher valuable products such as bio-oil, bio-char and bio-gas. Bio-oil or liquid bio-fuels have higher heating values, so it can store and transport more conveniently the by-products bio-char and bio-gas, which can be used to provide heat required in the process. This work is focused on the formation, analysis and characterization of bio-oil which was obtained from the mixed …
