Effect of reinforcement concentration on the properties of hot extruded Al-Al2O3 composites synthesized through microwave sintering process by Reddya, M. Penchal

“…Owing to the existence of the reinforcement particles, the Al-15vol%Al2O3 composite attains an ultimate tensile strength and yield strength of 154+-6 MPa and 139+-8 MPa, respectively, representing an enhancement of 33% and 32.4% compared to the pure aluminum. In particular, the extruded Al-15vol%Al2O3 composite exhibited superior tensile strength at higher temperatures (~128 3 MPa at 100C and 110 4 MPa at 200 C) when compared to Al matrix. …”

High-Rate Anaerobic Digestion of Waste Activated Sludge by Integration of Electro-Fenton Process by Feki, Emna

“…Production of biogas was also found to improve during semi-continuous fermentation of EF-pretreated sludge conducted in a lab-scale reactor. In comparison to raw sludge, EF-pretreated sludge produced the highest biogas yield (0.81 L biogas/g VS) with a high COD removal rate, reaching 96.6% at an organic loading rate (OLR) of 2.5 g VS/L. d. …”

Investigation Into the Effects of Non-Linear Loading of Domestic Power Network on Home Appliances by Hossain, Ajad

“…These light sources and other house-hold appliances using power electronic converters are termed as non-linear loads and they introduce distortion in the power network by generating harmonics in the current, leading to poor power quality [1 − 4]. Power quality issues are now becoming a major concern because of several reasons: a) Increasing dependence on electrical supply and even small disruption or interruption are not bearable because it can halt the modern lifestyle, b) new modern electrical equipment are highly sensitive to the power quality and c) the power electronic components such as variable speed drives and switched mode power supplies poses new disturbance challenges to the electrical supply network [5 − 7]. …”
