Structure–Property–Performance Characteristics of Chlorella Vulgaris Lipid-Based Bio-Composites Modified with n-Pentanol
Abstract: The depletion of fossil fuel resources and increasingly stringent emission regulations have intensified the need for sustainable alternatives for compression ignition (CI) engines. Biodiesel derived from Chlorella vulgaris microalgae is a renewable, non-edible fuel; however, its higher viscosity and lower volatility can adversely affect engine performance. To address these limitations, higher alcohols such as n-pentanol can be employed as effective modifiers to improve fuel physicochemical properties while maintaining compatibility with …

Design of a Plant for the Production of Ammonia and Urea Using Aspen HYSYS
Abstract: The design of a plant for the production of 1800 MT/Day of ammonia and 1400 MT/Day of urea using aspen HYSYS was carried out in this work. Ammonia is produced through the Haber-Bosch process, where hydrogen and nitrogen react in the presence of a catalyst producing mixture containing ammonia while urea is produced by the reaction between ammonia and carbon IV oxide. In this work, aspen HYSYS, chemical engineering design …

Machine Learning-Based Quantification of Polymer Structure Property Relationships for Predictive Material Design
Abstract: Polymer structures exhibit complex, hierarchical arrangements that strongly influence macroscopic properties, yet consistent quantification remains challenging due to nonlinear interactions and limited unified modeling strategies. Existing approaches inadequately capture generalized structure–property mappings across diverse polymer systems. This research aims to establish a machine learning-based quantification model for polymer structure–property relationships to support predictive material design. A Polymer Structure Property Dataset of 5,000 polymer samples includes structural descriptors and experimentally measured …

Quantitative Mass Balance Modelling for the Synthesis and Production of Ten High-Volume Insecticides
Abstract: This study presents a detailed quantitative mass balance analysis for the industrial synthesis and production of ten high-volume insecticides: acequinocyl, acetamiprid, acynonapyr, alpha-cypermethrin, benzpyrimoxan, bifenazate, bifenthrin, bistrifluron, broflanilide, and bromofos, focusing on material flows, process efficiencies, and environmental implications. These compounds, spanning diverse chemical classes like neonicotinoids, pyrethroids, and meta-diamides, are essential for crop protection but pose challenges due to resource-intensive syntheses and waste generation. For each insecticide, standardized manufacturing …

Development of a Durable Superhydrophobic EP/PDMS Coating Reinforced with Micro-CaCO₃ and Nano-ZnO for Enhanced Corrosion Protection and Multifunctional Performance on Carbon Steel
Abstract: Balancing exceptional multifunctional performance with mechanical robustness in micro-nano composite films remains a significant challenge for practical applications. In this work, a superhydrophobic coating reinforced with micro-CaCO₃ and nano-ZnO particles was fabricated through a versatile single-step brushing method. The optimized EP/PDMS@micro-CaCO₃/nano-ZnO coating achieved a water contact angle (WCA) of 173.54° ± 2.53° and a sliding angle (SA) of 1.50° ± 1.12°. Owing to its carefully engineered micro-nano hierarchical structure, the …

Design and Implementation of PID Controller for Self Balancing Robot
Abstract: AbstractFor control engineers to study, apply and verify different control methods, inverted pendulum is a very good platform. Nearly 90% of the industries use the concept of inverted pendulum like ship balancing against of sea tide and control of rockets, space ships and landing of aero planes. The simple pendulum is stable while hanging downwards, but the inverted pendulum is a genetically unstable system. To make the inverted pendulum a …

Dynamic Response Analysis of Isotropic and Orthotropic Rectangular Plates under Clamped-Free Conditions
Abstract: This study explores Theoretical and numerical tools of determining the free vibration properties of isotropic and fiber-reinforced composite rectangular plates. The effect of anisotropy of materials on the dynamic response of the plates is compared between the Aluminium plates and the glass-epoxy laminates. The model used in the study is a three-dimensional finite element model that is designed using a combination of SolidWorks and ANSYS workflow. Clamped-free boundary conditions are …

Artificial Neural Network Based SVC Switching At Distribution System for Minimal Injected Harmonics
Abstract: Electrical distribution system grieves from various problems like reactive power burden, unbalanced loading, voltage regulation and harmonic distortion. However DSTATCOMS are ideal solutions for such systems, they are not popular because of the cost and complexity of control involved. Phase wise balanced reactive power compensations are essential for fast changing loads needing dynamic power factor correcting devices leading to terminal voltage stabilization. Static Var Compensators (SVCs) remain ideal choice for …
