Background: Water quality problems are one of the manifestations of poverty and most developing countries including Ethiopia suffering a lot of health problems associated with consumption of contaminated water. Although communities living in urban areas of Ethiopia have access to piped water supply, cross-contamination in the distribution system and unsafe storage are the major source of water ...

Abstract The need for a cleaner and more efficient engine arises as regulations on emissions become stringent. besides increasing pollution inefficiency concerns, manufacturing expenses are also the upswing. As around 20% of all energy used goes toward reducing friction, effective lubrication is potential solution to issues efficiency, emissions, wear. Several nanoparticles being tried performa...

Oil storage tanks must be designed to withstand dynamic and seismic loads. It is very important ensure the safety of oil with large volumes under earthquakes. During earthquake, land surface moves in all directions as a result, tank exposed vibrations. Especially movements parallel create vibrations cause unexpected deformations on walls. In this study, possible that may occur three different g...

An analysis of the strati®cation decay in thermally strati®ed vertical cylindrical cool storage systems is presented using a one dimensional conjugate heat conduction model. The degree of thermal strati®cation depends upon the length to diameter ratio, wall thickness to length ratio, the thermo-physical properties of the material of the storage tank, the type and thickness of the insulation and...
