Increasing the evaporation zone inside solar distiller (SD) is a pivotal method for augmenting its freshwater production. Hence, in this work, newly designed prismatic absorber basin covered by linen wicks was utilized instead of conventional flat to increase surface area vaporization double-slope (DSSD). Meanwhile, further enhancement modified DSSD performance, dual parallel spraying nozzles a...

In this study, the effects of mechanical milling and YSZ reinforcing on oxidation behavior of CoNiCrAlY coatings were investigated. Various amounts of YSZ particles (0%, 5%, 10% and 15 wt.%) were mixed with commercial CoNiCrAlY powder and milled for 24 hrs. Then, the mechanically milled and commercial powders were deposited on Inconel 617 substrate using High Velocity Oxygen-Fuel (HVOF) process...

Metallic glass has excellent functions such as high strength and high corrosion resistance. Therefore, it is one of the most attractive materials, and various developmental research works have been conducted by many researchers. However, the metallic glass material is expensive to use, and a composite material is preferred for the industrial application. Thermal spraying method is one of potent...

Metal casting is an industrially important manufacturing process offering a superior combination of design flexibility, productivity and cost-effectiveness, but has limitations due to filling related defects. Several semisolid processes are available capable at range solid fractions overcome this. The current communication aims review the front behaviour give new perspective gate in processing ...

A highly dense Ni59Zr20Ti16Si2Sn3 partial amorphous metallic coating, about 500mm thick, was fabricated by means of HVAF (High Velocity Air Fuel) thermal spraying. Amorphous alloy powders produced by using gas atomization were used for HVAF thermal spraying to produce an amorphous metallic coating. Microstructural investigation showed that crystallization and oxidation occurred during thermal s...

The effect of Gibberellic Acid (GA3) and Benzyladenine (BA) on Aloe vera was evaluated at pot cultivation conditions. This study was performed in two factorial test based on complete random plan and 4 repeats with 12 treatments. The main factor was included spraying, drip and spraying + drip. Secondary factor was included concentrations of GA3 and BA at 0, 100...

Walnut Anthracnose is among the major diseases of walnut trees in Qazvin Province which is scattered as an epidemic disease in the recent years. This research is designed to study and comparison of control methods of Anthracnose disease in walnut trees of Roodbar region. After selecting the infected garden and implementing winter and spring spraying treatments, winter spraying treatment and con...

Biofabrication commonly involves the use of liquid droplets to transport cells to the printed structure. However, the viability of the cells after impact is poorly controlled and understood, hampering applications including cell spraying, inkjet bioprinting, and laser-assisted cell transfer. Here, we present an analytical model describing the cell viability after impact as a function of the cel...
