Rather than relying solely on fossil fuels to generate electricity in Nigeria, a variety of other sources, such as nuclear energy, must be considered. A Nuclear Power Plant's (NPP) location is a critical step in its development. This paper thus presents a methodology for resolving the issue of NPP site selection. For this project, the fuzzy Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) method was chosen. To assess the feasibility of the approach, one of Nigeria's six south-south states was chosen as the location of a hypothetical nuclear power plant. According to the findings, the NPP would be best located in Delta State, which had the highest gray relational grade of 0.7897.","PeriodicalId":435904,"journal":{"name":"Material Science & Engineering International Journal","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115107253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But the non-renewable resources are decreasing with the increasing demand for energy. So, we should focus on renewable energy resources. According to the report of REN21 in 2019, 73.8%of electricity is generated from non-renewable energy resources, and only 26.2%of electricity is generated from renewable energy resources where 15.8% is from Hydropower, 5.5% from Wind Power, 2.4% from solar PV (Photovoltaics), 2.2% from Bio-power and 0.4% from Geothermal, CSP and Ocean power. In this paper, we review the major renewable energy resources to determine effective and usable renewable resources. We especially focus on hydropower, wind power, and solar power, because those are the most used renewable resources at present. And finally, we develop a solar house system. To implement the solar house system, we used a solar array, a battery array, charge controller, inverter, and loads.","PeriodicalId":435904,"journal":{"name":"Material Science & Engineering International Journal","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126984495","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cross coefficients and driving forces in the Onsager equation for the diffusion of carbon onto the friction surface of hypereutectoid steel are calculated. The thermodynamic conditions for the implementation of the selective transfer process in the tribological system under consideration are determined. Simple differential equations are obtained for the tribological system of carbon steel - graphite, which describe the effect of stresses on the diffusion of carbon, production based on nonequilibrium thermodynamics. It is shown, that the implementation of selective transfer requires the development of diffusion processes without the formation of excess phases. Therefore, carbon steel should be alloyed mainly with elements of the first group that increase the thermodynamic activity of carbon in steel - silicon, nickel, copper, cobalt and phosphorus. Recommendations are formulated on metallic materials choosing for minimal contact wear in contacted pairs of machines parts.","PeriodicalId":435904,"journal":{"name":"Material Science & Engineering International Journal","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123486302","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, we studied the blends of a flexible main-chain nematic LCP with an enantiotropic nematic, a monotropic nematic, and two non-mesogenic rigid-rod compounds as model systems. The results indicate that homogenous reinforcement of thermotropic LCP in these monomers is a valid concept and could lead to improvement of mesogenic stability, orienational and mechanical properties of rigid-rod materials for various applications.","PeriodicalId":435904,"journal":{"name":"Material Science & Engineering International Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134439291","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As humanity progresses, tribology continues to make vital contributions in addressing the demands for advanced technological developments, resulting in increasing machine durability and improving the quality of life. At the point when organic systems particularly human joints for example knees, hips, and so forth which constantly move concerning each other, tribology moves toward becoming bio-tribology. Various essential bio-tribological testing phenomena can significantly influence the result of wear for the implant design and material selection. The study also found the different types of frictional losses in bio-tribology and prevention of these losses. The application of tribology in dentistry is also a growing and rapidly expanding field. In restorative dentistry, metals and alloys and ceramics and composites are generally applied to restorations and implants. The complex inter-oral environment and biomechanics, make the wear processes of artificial dental materials are very complicated and normally include abrasion, attrition, corrosion, fretting wear, and fatigue. These processes occur in various combinations to cause surface loss of materials in the mouth. Intensive research has been conducted to develop an understanding of bio tribology for the successful design and selection of implants and artificial dental materials. This study is carried out to improve the knowledge about bio-tribology and thereby guide the researchers to get their future research directives.","PeriodicalId":435904,"journal":{"name":"Material Science & Engineering International Journal","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115101093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
