Nowadays wars still show the importance of armored vehicles in the battlefield. In order to form a defense system against armored vehicles, Kinetic Energetic Ammunition (KEA) stands out among the options produced. The penetrator has high kinetic energy due to its speed and mass. Weight and speed, as well as the fact that the shots are made from the...

Thermoeconomic analyses are very important for understanding of the behavior of mechanical systems thermodynamically and economically. Thermoeconomic evaluation has two competing objectives which are maximizing efficiency and minimizing cost. Exergy destruction, and cost flow in in mechanical systems can be traced and understood by using thermoecon...

Hazelnut is generally used roasted for industrial purposes. Roasting process is usually carried by means of jet heating furnaces. In individual usage, With the advantages of jet roasting by microwaves, 60-70% can be saved up in the name of time and energy.
