Recent advances in corrosion resistant superhydrophobic coatings
(
Walter de Gruyter GmbH
, 2018 , Article Review)
Extreme water-repellent (superhydrophobic) coatings with water contact angle higher than 150° have caught the attention of corrosion researchers in the last decade as they can be used to protect metals and alloys against ...
Effective removal of lanthanum ions from aqueous solution using rice husk: Impact of experimental variables
(
Desalination Publications
, 2018 , Article)
The focus of the present work is to optimize different experimental parameters such as nature of electrolyte, pH, amount of adsorbent, ions concentration, equilibration time, temperature, and operating mode. The effective ...
Physical Layer Security for TAS/MRC Systems With and Without Co-Channel Interference Over Fading Channels
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Article)
In this paper, the secrecy performance of transmit antenna selection/maximal ratio combining systems in the absence and presence of co-channel interference (CCI) over ?-? fading channels is considered. In particular, ...
Adsorption equilibrium studies of CO2, CH4 and N2 on various modified zeolites at high pressures up to 200 bars
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
Power generation industries are mostly built on integrated gasification combine cycle (IGCC) which uses high pressure system to turn fossil fuels into pressurized gas i.e. synthesis gas (syngas) which in turn produce energy ...
Drill string nonlinear vibrations: Experimental studies and finite-element analysis
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
In the present work, nonlinear vibrations of drill strings are studied. A laboratory scale arrangement consisting of a flexible rod with rotor-stator system is used to study the system dynamics. A finite-element model has ...

Synthesis and characterisation of Ni–B/Ni–P–CeO2 duplex composite coatings
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2018 , Article)
Abstract: Binary (Ni–B, Ni–P) and duplex coatings (Ni–B/Ni–P, Ni–B/Ni–P–CeO2) with an inner Ni–B layer were electrodeposited on mild steel substrates. A comparison of the structural, surface, mechanical, and electrochemical ...
