The hydrolysis of aluminum powder can be efficiently improved by milling with hydrides, among which LiH performs the …

Aluminum powder is used for energetic materials due to high energy density. Controlling oxidation rate, oxidation …

The production of aluminum by the electrolytic Hall–Héroult process suffers from high energy requirements, the release … significantly less energy-intensive, is complicated by the formation of aluminum carbide and oxycarbides. In the present work, the … threshold for the onset of aluminum production is lowered, the formation of Al4C3 is decreased, and the yield of aluminum is …

between aluminum and water was evaluated. In the present work, the effect of CoCl2 and NiCl2 on aluminum–water reaction was … by use of a magnetic stirring bar and reused in subsequent rounds of aluminum–water reaction. …

The present study aims to investigate the comparative corrosion of light-weight metals such as aluminum and magnesium … higher compared to that of aluminum. The surface morphology revealed a significant difference between the biodiesel exposed … aluminum and magnesium specimens. Upon exposure to biodiesel, the magnesium surface was found to be fully covered by gel …

models that allow specifying curve asymmetry and use genetic algorithms as curve-fitting methods. We estimate the quality of …

A transient-state mathematical model for an ethanol basin solar still based on Spalding's work was developed. Driving … conductance (g) was obtained from an indoor experiment. Then productivity could be calculated. In order to validate the model an … ethanol basin solar still was tested under outdoor conditions. The model had RMSEs of 4% and 23% of the measured mean …
