Kitchen range hood is used to remove cooking oil fume in most of family. The oil fume collection efficiency of range hood is demand to be improved for reaching healthy indoor air quality in residential kitchen. The effects of chef disturbance intensity on the fume particle collection of range hood are quantified by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model. The chef operation is considered by introducing a moving momentum source where the collection efficiency of fume particle is defined by the particle residence time. The collection efficiency of fume particle is proposed to be classified as the primary collection efficiency and the secondary collection efficiency of fume particle. The results indicate that the primary collection efficiency of fume particle is decreased by 26.4% in vertical disturbance (VD) mode of chef stirring with the rotation velocity from 0 to 1.5 rps. Meanwhile, the primary collection efficiency is decreased by 8.5% in horizontal disturbance (HD) mode for the same range of the rotation velocity of chef stirring. It is further found that the secondary collection efficiency of fume particle can be used as an indicator of the fume particle concentration of kitchen.

Due to the high cost of raw materials, this work aims to benefit from metal waste, especially iron (Fe) and silicon bronze, which results from turning workshops and recycling them to obtain nanocomposites for industrial applications. In this respect, Fe/SiBr/SiN/silica fume nanocomposites possessing superior mechanical, wear, and magnetic characteristics have been produced using powder metallurgy (PM) technology. Milled sample particle size, crystal size, and phase composition were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

By volume, cement concrete is one of the most widely used construction materials in the world. This requires a significant amount of Portland cement, and the cement industry, in turn, causes a significant amount of CO emissions. Therefore, the development of concrete with a reduced cement content is becoming an urgent problem for countries with a significant level of production and consumption of concrete.

This study investigates the use of various industrial waste materials-silica fume (SF), cement kiln dust (CKD), calcium carbide residue (CCR), rice husk ash (RHA), and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS)-as eco-friendly stabilizers for expansive clay soil (ECS). Laboratory tests were conducted to assess the impact of different proportions (3 %, 6 %, and 9 %) of these additives on the soil's physical, mechanical, and microstructural properties. Results indicated that the inclusion of industrial waste significantly improved the soil's behavior, with notable reductions in liquid limit (up to 37.

Conventional cement production is a major source of CO emissions. As a result, there is an increasing emphasis on finding sustainable alternatives for cement and their appropriate proportion in concrete. This investigation explores the optimization of supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) like ultrafine fly ash (UFFA) and silica fume (SF) content in high-performance concrete (HPC).

Article Synopsis
  • Mixing cement-based materials for optimal workability is a complex and labor-intensive process, which can be streamlined using AI techniques.
  • Experimental tests produced a dataset of 233 samples focused on key workability factors like fluidity and viscosity, using various material inputs including cement and additives.
  • Machine learning models, specifically enhanced versions like PSO-based CatBoost and XGBoost, were developed to predict workability metrics, with additional analysis to understand how each input affects these properties.
