In a recent paper published in the journal Energies, researchers from Mexico simulated the aerodynamic behavior of a Savonius-type vertical wind turbine with a semi-elliptical profile using a 3D computational model based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD).
In a recent study published in the journal Materials, researchers studied the effects of different external factors such as strain, temperature, abrasion, washing, and solder pad size on the electrical resistance of surface-mounted electronic device (SMD)-integrated silver-coated Vectran (SCV) yarn.
In a recent study published in the journal Materials, researchers from Brazil analyzed polyethylene terephthalate (PET) sand as a replacement of quartz sand at different compositions and measured their compressive strength, flexural strength, density, capillarity, and water absorption.
A group of researchers recently developed new resorcinol formaldehyde and silica-based porous hybrid xerogel for super thermal insulation application using a cost-effective sol-gel and microwave heating process without going through any supercritical drying process.
