Survival Engineering and the Game of Knowledge: A Ludic Form of Teaching and Learning in Engineering
(The Future of Higher Education in the Middle East and Africa, 03/27/2018)
Within the engineering pedagogy, it must be remembered that students learn in many different ways: seeing, hearing, thinking, acting, drawing analogies, and building mathematical models in the area of science and technology. ...
The Effect of Biomass Physical Properties on Top-Lit Updraft Gasification of Woodchips
(2016-04-12)
The performance of a top-lit updraft gasifier affected by biomass (pine wood) particle size, moisture content and compactness was studied in terms of the biochar yield, biomass burning rate, syngas composition and tar ...
Airflow and insulation effects on simultaneous syngas and biochar production in a top-lit updraft biomass gasifier
(2017-10-11)
The objective of this study was to understand the effect of airflow and insulation on syngas and biochar generations of rice hulls and woodchips in a top-lit updraft gasifier. Biochar yield decreased with increasing airflow. ...

The balance store card for the design and validation instruments to measure the academic teacher's achievement and performance
(2012-12)
The evaluation of faculty work is critical for the university accreditation. Moreover, particularly sensitive to this related tendency of faculty work evaluation; it is necessary to go beyond the knowledge factor and ...
Development of a neural network model to predict distortion during the metal forming process by line heating
(2013-01)
In order to achieve automation of the plate forming process by line heating, it is necessary to know in advance the deformation to be obtained under specific heating conditions. Currently, different methods exist to predict ...
Numerical analysis of the straightening process of thin plate structures by elastic FEM based on the inherent strain method
(2012-12)
Welding distortion is practically an expected feature in shipbuilding, with a few exceptions; when thick plates are used, for example. Nowadays, the trend is to use thinner plates in order to reduce weight, aiming to reduce ...
