Influence of sorption on sound propagation in granular activated carbon (2016)
Journal Article

Granular activated carbon (GAC) has numerous applications due to its ability to adsorb and desorb
gas molecules. Recently, it has been shown to exhibit unusually high low frequency sound absorption.
This behavior is determined by both the multi-sca... Read More about Influence of sorption on sound propagation in granular activated carbon.

Mathematical modelling of entropy generation in magnetized micropolar flow between co-rotating cylinders with internal heat generation (2016)
Journal Article

The present study investigates analytically the entropy generation in magnetized micropolar fluid flow in between two vertical concentric rotating cylinders of infinite length. The surface of the inner cylinder is heated while the surface of the oute...
