Flow and heat transfer analysis of Jeffery nano fluid impinging obliquely over a stretched plate by Mehmood, Rashid

“…The governing nonlinear partial differential equations for the flow field are obtained and then converted to ordinary differential equations via suitable transformations. Consequential highly non-linear system of differential equations is solved numerically through mid-point integration as a basic scheme along with Richardson's extrapolation as an enhancement scheme and analytical results are also obtained using optimal homotopy analysis Method (OHAM). …”

Theoretical insight into effect of cation–anion pairs on CO2 reduction on bismuth electrocatalysts by Sun Hee, Yoon

“…The adsorption energy (Eads) and work function (Wf) of the anions increases with decreasing anion size (i.e., Cl− > Br− > I−). On the other hand, the larger the cation size is, the higher is the Eads (i.e., Li+ < K+ < Cs+) but the lower is the Wf (i.e., Cs+ < K+ < Li+). …”

A Modular Multilevel Voltage-Boosting Marx Pulse-Waveform Generator for Electroporation Applications by Elgenedy M.A.

“…After the first pulse delivery, the energy of the SM capacitors decreases due to the generated pulse. Then, for continuous operation without fully discharging the SM capacitors or having a large voltage droop as in the available Marx generators, the SM capacitors are continuously recharged in parallel, to the desired boosted voltage level. …”
