Study of the reverse delta wing by Altaf, Afaq, Omar, Ashraf Ali E., Asrar, Waqar

“…This work investigates the characteristics of the vortices generated downstream in planes perpendicular to the freestream direction and their dependence on angles of attack and roll at a chord-based Reynolds number of Rec= 382000 The peak tangential velocities at�angle of attack higher than 5 deg show a trend similar to a delta wing. A six-component balance was used to obtain the aerodynamic coefficients for a reverse delta wing as well as a delta wing for comparison. …”

The utilization of rice husk silica as a catalyst: review and recent progress by Adam, Farook, Appaturi, Jimmy Nelson, Mohamed Iqbal, Mohammad Anwar

“…Sodium silicate was obtained by direct silica extraction from rice husk via a solvent extraction method while rice husk ash was obtained by pyrolyzing the RH in the range of 500–800 ◦C for 5–6 h. Transition metals were immobilized into the silica matrix via the sol–gel technique while the organic moieties were incorporated using a grafting method. 3- (Chloropropyl)triethoxy-silane (CPTES) was used as a bridge to link the organic moieties to the silica matrix. …”
