Description: The 57th volume of "International Journal of Engineering Research in Africa" are included peer-reviewed manuscripts reflecting the research results in the fields of materials science, applied and fluid mechanics, power engineering and power management, ecology safety and agriculture, communication, road construction, building materials, and geotechnical engineering. The presented scientific articles can be appreciated by the majority of engineers, academic teachers, and students majoring in the fields of engineering science.

Description:

This volume presents papers on mathematical modelling of magnetohydrodynamic flow and heat transfer in an electro-conductive polymer, as well as numerical analysis of heat transfer through nanofluid flow in different media, including porous media. Additionally, the study of multi-phase flow in a pipeline has been presented, which can be positively addressed in such key branch as the oil and gas industry. Besides, the volume is devoted to numerical analysis to assess the cooling hole's performance embedded in different trenched designs (triangular trench, semi-cylindrical trench, and corrugated trench) for improving the film cooling efficiency over a flat plate. The presented results might find their application in various areas of engineering.

Description: This volume, entitled “Transport Phenomena in Single and Multiphase Systems: New Developments at Different Fields” includes articles that discuss some of the most important theoretical advances, computational developments and technological applications of heat and mass transfer and fluid flow phenomena at different engineering fields.

Description: This volume of the journal “Defect and Diffusion Forum” presents to readers the next 9th special issue from the series “Transfer Phenomena in Fluid and Heat Flows” which contains articles covering theoretical and practical aspects of modeling and numerical investigation of the diffusive convection and magnetohydromagnetic mixed convective flows, heat transfer phenomena in different media and engineering objects, solving other engineering problems related to heat and mass transfer phenomena.

Description:

The special issue on “Computational Analysis of Heat Transfer in Fluids and Solids” of the journal “Defect and Diffusion Forum” addresses various novel nonlinear models and computational techniques important for tackling the heat transfer phenomenon in fluids and solids. Numerical results are discussed quantitatively to illustrate the salient features of practical engineering and industrial applications. Topics covered by excellent research papers in this issue include: extended surfaces fins, reactive flow problem, Newtonian and non-Newtonian flow, nanofluids dynamics, boundary layer flow, natural convection, hydrodynamic stability, biomechanics, plasma physics, physics of dusty plasma, forced convection, mixed convection, magnetohydrodynamics, thermal radiation, porous media flow and irreversibility analysis. We anticipate that our special issue will stimulate and help a wide audience of researchers, engineers and educators from various fields of human activity.

Description: Current water-treatment technologies require considerable energy consumption. Thus, closely linked to the problem of water shortage is the impending energy crisis. Therefore, intensive research is being aimed at developing water purification processes that are based upon using renewable energy, such as solar energy, rather than energy generated using fossil fuels. There has been an accumulation of reports on the development of photocatalysts, which enable water purification using solar energy as the only driving force. Such photocatalysts, based upon oxide semiconductors, permit the conversion of solar energy into the chemical energy that is required for the oxidation of toxic organic compounds in water. The most promising photocatalyst is titanium dioxide, TiO2, and its solid solutions. The research on TiO2 photocatalysis is multidisciplinary, and progress in this area requires the application of concepts of catalysis and photocatalysis as well as concepts of solid-state chemistry.
