A simplistic and novel leaching process is developed to dispose spent lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries. In this paper, oxalic acid is selected as a leaching reagent to recover lithium as a resource and remove phosphorus from LiFePO4 batteries, benefiting from its low natural effects. The p...

A general 2-D problem of electromagnetic scattering from a multiple cavity-backed longitudinally loaded slotted perfectly conducting cylinder with arbitrary cross section is formulated. The formulation is used to account for the scattered field from the scale models, for which, a series of experimen...

An analytical solution for the natural frequencies of a beam containing a cavity on an elastic foundation is presented. Based on the analytical solution, a numerical method for identifying cavities in the foundation is developed. The position and size of the cavities are identified by minimizing an ...

The following design features which satisfy fundamental safety design objectives of an MHTGR are analyzed: (i) inherent safety features to reactivity effect: (ii) passive decay heat removal: and Oil) multiple barriers. Several events have been identified to be the bounding, hypothetical accidents fo...

Condensation-induced water-hammer is one kind of water-hammer caused by cavity collapse, which occurs frequently in engineering pipelines and can bring about enormous damage. Due to the vapor condensation, the formation and collapse of cavity are transient and of two-phase character. In order to sim...
