The document discusses three thermodynamic systems problems: (1) calculating the power requirement for a steam boiler, (2) determining the available energy from a falling stone into a tank of water, and (3) using the ideal gas law to calculate the mass and new temperature of carbon dioxide gas when its pressure and volume change.
The large amount of waste heat produced by power plants and automobile engines can be converted into electricity due to the thermoelectric effect, a physics effect that converts temperature differences into electrical energy. As long as you can maintain temperature difference, it will keep on generating electricity, for that one needs a material with low thermal conductivity. in the poster above, a method to reduce thermal conductivity is proposed which in turn increased the efficiency.
The document summarizes the key differences between insulators and semiconductors that influence their conductivity. Insulators have a large band gap between the valence and conduction bands, making it difficult for electrons to gain enough energy to conduct electricity. Semiconductors have a smaller band gap, allowing electrons to reach the conduction band at ordinary temperatures and conduct. Doping semiconductors with impurities increases the number of charge carriers and decreases scattering, improving mobility and conductivity.

3) Appliances plugged into different wall sockets can be turned on or off independently, as current on one circuit does not affect another. If too much current draws, a fuse will melt and cut off the circuit.
This document describes an experiment measuring the thermal conductivity of a copper cylinder using a one-dimensional heat equation.

Experimental Investigate the Effect of Burner Geometry on the Operation Windo...Jameel Tawfiq
The purpose of this paper is to conduct an experimental study of a swirl burner with different lengths for a fixed diameter. Three models of rim length (5 cm, 10 cm and 15 cm) were taken. The results show that any change in the ratio of length to diameter will affect the flame position and structure of the downstream. It turns out that the flame settles near the edge as the rim length increases. The result indicates that increasing the length of the burner neck will reduce the structure of the swirl and weaken it, thus increasing the incidence of flashback phenomenon. The operating window of three burner neck models was studied above. It was found that the 5 cm rim has an equivalent ratio of (0.38-0.82) and for the 10 cm rim that is equivalent ratio (0.39-0.84), as well as for the rim 15 cm in equivalent ratio (0.4-0.83) with air velocity stabilization. For the above three models. Through the equivalent ratio of the above models. It was found that the 10 cm rim gave a larger operating window and therefore higher stability than the other two models.

Space charge and dielectric behavior of epoxy composite with si o2 al2o3 nano...Oussama Elbouadi
The document discusses a study of the space charge distribution, complex dielectric permittivity, and conduction current of an epoxy resin and its composite with SiO2-Al2O3 nano-micro fillers at temperatures ranging from 20 to 200°C. The results show that below the glass transition temperature (Tg), space charge behavior is dominated by electronic charge transport, while above Tg it is dominated by ion transport. Both the real and imaginary parts of complex permittivity increase dramatically above Tg, which can be attributed to ion accumulation at the electrodes. The conduction current also increases with temperature and transitions from electronic to ionic charge transport above Tg. The composite exhibits weaker space charge accumulation, lower complex permit
The document summarizes an experiment that investigated the effect of spark plug parameters like age, performance tier, and design on internal combustion engine performance. Four sets of spark plugs were tested across a range of engine speeds and throttle percentages. Initial findings suggested improved engine performance as measured by brake specific fuel consumption with performance tier plugs, but more investigation is needed due to variations between trials likely caused by changes in ambient conditions and test sequence order. In conclusions, the experiment found no definitive differences between the spark plugs tested. Further testing under more real-world conditions is required.

Comparison between capacitive and photoelectric yarn measuring headsSohail AD
The document compares capacitive and photoelectric yarn clearers. Capacitive clearers detect yarn mass variations using two parallel plates to measure capacitance changes as yarn passes through. Photoelectric clearers detect diameter variations as yarn blocks/reflects light. Capacitive clearers are more accurate and sensitive but can be affected by moisture. Photoelectric clearers can detect color changes but are less sensitive, require more maintenance, and purity cannot be detected. The document concludes capacitive clearers are generally best for Pakistani industries if moisture is controlled, as they have fewer drawbacks than photoelectric clearers.

Composite integrated material of al layers with kevlar material and the speci...Alexander Decker
This document summarizes the development of a new composite material made of Kevlar layers impregnated with a shear thickening fluid. The goal is to improve Kevlar's performance as body armor. Kevlar alone deforms too much at impact points, causing pain. The new composite aims to distribute impacts more uniformly by using a fluid that thickens during high-strain impacts. Experimental targets were made by impregnating Kevlar fabric with ethylene glycol or a silica-based shear thickening fluid. Ballistic testing showed the composite absorbed more energy than plain Kevlar. The composite provides flexibility like Kevlar but enhances ballistic protection through the shear thickening fluid.

The experimental section outlines the development of shear thickening fluids to coat Kevlar fibers and improve energy absorption during ballistic impacts.
Effect of carbon nanotube on thermal behavior of epoxy resin compositesLidaN16
Abstract: Human society’s need to build low-weight, high-strength and durable structures has
increased the demand for composite materials. In this case, composites are used where high mechanical strength, low weight, sound and thermal insulation properties are required. One of the most
important issues now is designing materials and coatings aimed at reducing heat loss and resisting
high temperatures. One way to address this problem is to develop a technique for preparing and
applying composite materials that slow down their heating applied to a surface. In this study, carbon
nanotubes (CNTs) reinforced composites were fabricated using silicone molding to be applied to
honeycomb sandwich structures. To determine the effect of CNTs on the thermal behavior of the
sandwich panels, different weight percentages of this material (0.025, 0.05. 0.075 wt.%) were added to
the epoxy resin. The results showed that the thermal stability of the epoxy composites was directly
related to the increase in the percentage of CNTs as the CNT content increased to 0.075 wt.%, and the
thermal degradation temperature of the epoxy composites increased by 14 ◦C. In addition, the energy
absorption increased by 4.6% with an increase in CNTs up to 0.075 wt.%. Density measurements
showed that the density of the nanocomposite samples increased by adding CNTs to pure epoxy
resin. The actual densities of the samples reinforced with 0.025, 0.05, and 0.075 wt.% CNTs are 0.925,
0.926, and 0.927 of the theoretical density, respectively. Since the CNT dispersion uniformity in the
epoxy matrix can significantly affect the properties of the composites, in this study, a new method of
dispersing CNTs in the epoxy resin matrix resulted in higher thermal conductivity while using lower
amounts of CNTs compared to other studies. The storage modulus of the epoxy matrix composites
reinforced with 0.05 wt.% in this study was 25.9% and 6.9% higher than that from the previous study
reinforced with 0.1 wt.% and 0.25 wt.% CNTs, respectively. Furthermore, the tanδ and loss modulus
of the composite reinforced with 0.05 wt.% CNTs in this study were 52% and 54.5% higher than that
from the previous study with 0.1 wt.% CNTs, respectively. This study provided an optimal approach
for designers and engineers who want to effectively design their composite honeycomb sandwich
structure with better thermal properties.
