Experimental Studies on Savonius-type Vertical Axis Turbine for Low Marine Current Velocity

Renewable energy resources need to be explored to maintain and meet energy demand and replace the slowly depleting fossil fuels.  Malaysia, surrounded by sea with long coastlines, is poised to exploit the potential of this energy. This research work aims at designing a suitable device to extract energy from Malaysian sea current.  Malaysia’s ocean has a low current velocity averaging 0.56 m/s, ...

Theoretical and experimental studies on flame propagation and quenching of powdered fuels

Future Studies and KM

Futures studies is a value knowledge and has a two-way communication with the worldview, ideology and culture of nations. Humanities is one of the factors that influence the field of futures studies. Hence the human sciences itself could be the subject of future studies. In this study, we have tried to discuss the role of future studies in knowledge management in the field of humanities. Theref...

The future of oil: unconventional fossil fuels.

Unconventional fossil hydrocarbons fall into two categories: resource plays and conversion-sourced hydrocarbons. Resource plays involve the production of accumulations of solid, liquid or gaseous hydro-carbons that have been generated over geological time from organic matter in source rocks. The character of these hydrocarbons may have been modified subsequently, especially in the case of solid...
