A review of car waste heat recovery systems utilising thermoelectric generators and heat pipes
Abstract The internal combustion engine (ICE) does not efficiently convert chemical energy into mechanical energy. A majority of this energy is dissipated as heat in the exhaust and coolant. Rather than directly improving the efficiency of the...

Performance Evaluation of Carbon Dioxide Sequestration in Oil Shale Fly Ashes
Abstract This work investigated the performance of oil shale fly ashes (OSFA) as feedstock for CO2 mineral carbonation using an ammonium salts based pH swing process. A CO2 uptake of 156kg CO2/t ash was obtained for the OSFA from cyclones. This CO2...

Worm spreading model on two-dimensional ad hoc communication networks
Abstract In this paper, we model the worm spreading in the ad hoc communication network on a two-dimensional triangular lattice. The medium access control mechanism used to reduce interference among transmitting nodes causes a side-effect on worm...
