Biocorrosion behavior of biodegradable nanocomposite fibers coated layer-by-layer on AM50 magnesium implant by Abdal-hay, Abdalla

“…The corrosion performance of coated and uncoated coupon samples was investigated by means of electrochemical measurements. The results showed that the AJS 3D membrane fiber layers, particularly the hybrid membrane layers containing a small amount of nHA (3wt.%), induce a higher biocorrosion resistance and effectively decrease the initial degradation rate compared with the neat AM50 coupon samples. …”

PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION OF PROPANE PRE-COOLED MIXED REFRIGERANT (C3MR) PROCESS FOR NATURAL GAS LIQUEFACTION by SHADY, ROBA TAWFIK SAAD MOHAMED

“…This study achieved a 14.6% reduction in Specific Energy Consumption (SEC) by refining pressure streams, adjusting mass flow rates, and optimizing MR composition using knowledge-based and constrained Bayesian optimization approaches. The achieved SEC of 0.2649 kWh/kg LNG, on a large-scale plant with a natural gas flow rate of 120 kg/s, results in an 18 MW compression power decrease, saving approximately 17.42 million QAR per year for each C3MR process. …”
