High specific weight-material sinks down to the lower zone and more energy is required to overcome the gravity force to push it up to pass the back zone (Fig. 1b).
Hydrokinetic turbine, one of the most emerging technologies for power generation, has gained keen interest of the researchers because of some of the unique properties of water like higher specific weight, higher momentum than air for same velocity etc.
Due to higher specific weight, glycerol settled at the bottom and the upper layer was biodiesel (Fig. 2c).
HSO have a higher specific weight than water, which enables effective tamponade of the inferior retina, allowing the patient to adopt a supine posture postoperatively.
We used potassium iodide in the flotation dilution, which enhances the detection of eggs with a higher specific weight, as proposed by Meyer-Lucht and Sommer [ 15].
Magnesium alloys are becoming more and more popular because of their high specific strength, light specific weight, recyclability, and ability to shield electromagnetic shocks.
Ceramic materials are better viable candidates for modern day gas turbine engine needs, because of their high temperature durability, lower specific weight, and high resistance to hot corrosion.
Over the past few decades, composite materials are extensively used in various industries due to their high specific stiffness, strength, weight sensitivity and cost-effectiveness.
Nowadays, advanced composites are popular in automotive and aerospace industries because of their significant advantages such as high specific strength to weight ratio and non-corrosion properties.
Glass fiber/epoxy polymer (GFRP) composites are widely used in the aerospace engineering industry due to their high specific strength to weight ratio with non-corrosive properties, however they are very sensitive to foreign object impact.
Natural fiber replaces the synthetic fiber dueto its superior properties for example high specific strength, small weight, and low cost, moderately good mechanical property, non-abrasive recyclable and bio-degradable features.
