Enhancement of waste heat recovery from exhaust stack silencers in A simple cycle gas turbine by Bouria Faqihi, Fadi Ghaith

“…In this paper, a novel simple cycle gas turbine (GT) heat recovery system was modeled and evaluated through a computational method. Heat transfer channels were integrated into the existing nose and tail surfaces of the exhaust stack silencer baffles to avoid added turbine back-pressure, which is an issue with some of the existing waste heat recovery (WHR) models. …”

Molecular Marker Techniques and Genotypic Characterization Approaches in Plant Breeding by İsmail Karakaş

“…Because there are multiple steps required in producing new plant varieties, including hybridization, selection, and testing, the process of creating a new variation takes several years. However, it is important to rapidly develop plant varieties with desirable characteristics to meet the increasing food demand of the rapidly growing world population, so the application of biotechnological methods integrated into plant breeding and combined with traditional methods can help reduce food shortages. …”
