Scope of magnesium ceria nanocomposites for mandibular reconstruction: Degradation and biomechanical evaluation using a 3-dimensional finite element analysis approach.

Magnesium/Ceria nanocomposites (Mg/xCeO NCs (x = 0.5 %, 1 % and 1.5 %)) prepared by using powder metallurgy and microwave sintering method are assessed for their corrosion rate for a period of 28 days.

Combined Effect of Operating Parameters and Nanoparticles on the Performance of a Diesel Engine: Response Surface Methodology-Coupled Genetic Algorithm Approach.

This paper's goal is to ascertain the optimum input parameters and nanoparticle concentrations for least emission and better performance by utilizing the genetic algorithm (GA) and response surface methodology (RSM) in a single-cylinder diesel engine running with 20% blend of biodiesel derived from seeds. Experiments to be conducted on the engine were designed with a central composite design (CCD) with input parameters of loads (20-100%), nanoparticle concentrations (NPCs, 0-80 ppm), compression ratios (CRs, 16.5-18.

An investigation on dissimilarity of mass flow rate and N on exergo-enviro-economic parameters for solar still of single slope type integrated with N similar PVT flat plate collectors having series connection.

This paper investigates analytically the effect of dissimilarity of mass flow rate [Formula: see text] and number of collectors (N) on exergo-enviro-economic parameters for solar still of single slope type integrated with N similar photovoltaic thermal flat plate collectors having series connection (NPVTFPC-SS) keeping water depth as 0.14 m. All four kinds of weather conditions for New Delhi have been taken for the computation of different parameters.

Surface Topography Analysis of Mg-Based Composites with Different Nanoparticle Contents Disintegrated Using Abrasive Water Jet.

This study investigated the effect of abrasive water jet kinematic parameters, such as jet traverse speed and water pressure, on the surface of magnesium-based metal matrix nanocomposites (Mg-MMNCs) reinforced with 50 nm (average particle size) AlO particles at concentrations of 0.66 and 1.11 wt.

Experimental study of solar energy-based water purifier of single-slope type by incorporating a number of similar evacuated tubular collectors.

This research paper deals with the experimental investigation of solar energy-based water purifier (SEBWP) of single-slope type by incorporating N similar evacuated tubular collectors (ETCs) having series connection. Experimental investigation has been done for a year from August 2018 to July 2019. MATLAB has been used for evaluating performance parameters of the system followed by the validation of these results with their experimental values.

Development of rare-earth oxide reinforced magnesium nanocomposites for orthopaedic applications: A mechanical/immersion/biocompatibility perspective.

Magnesium-Zinc based nanocomposites containing cerium oxide nanoparticles were developed in the present work. A systematic study on their microstructure, mechanical properties, in vitro degradation behaviour, and cytotoxicity are presented. It was found that the developed nanocomposites exhibited excellent strength and toughness that are superior to the commercially available magnesium alloys.
