Artificial sweeteners are non-nutritive compounds that have a profound sweetening effect with a negligible to zero calorific contribution. Global initiatives to reduce sugar consumption to tackle health conditions such as obesity have led to a significant increase in their consumption in rec...

Injection of fluid, such as liquid CO₂, into fractured porous matrix containing pre-existing cracks can lead to the propagation of hydraulic fractures (HF) in the solid phase, causing leakage-induced dispersion of fluid into surrounding pore spaces from the crack edges. These coupled hy...

Designing sustainable aluminium alloys with superior mechanical performance requires effective microstructural control during solidification. In this study, a cross-over recycled wrought aluminium alloy system spanning the 1xxx–7xxx series was designed with maximum impurity tolerance. A grain refinement strateg...

Kuwait faces mounting challenges in municipal solid waste (MSW) management alongside continued dependence on fossil-fuel-based electricity generation. Per capita waste generation in Kuwait is approximately 1.7 kg/person/day, exceeding the global average of 0.74 kg/person/day, indicating substantial&#x...

The engine system requirements for different engine cycles significantly influence the design of the mixing head. A literature review of fuel-injection technology for hydrogen and methane is presented. The literature review aimed to answer proposed questions specific to the liquid rocket eng...
