[ 1 ] - Modeling of Effective Thermal Conductivity and Viscosity of Carbon Structured Nanofluid
This paper was aimed to address the modeling of effective thermal conductivity and viscosity of carbon structured nanofluids. Response surface methodology, D_optimal design (DOD) was employed to assess the main and interactive effects of temperature (T) and weight percentage (wt %) to model effective thermal conductivity and viscosity of multi wall and single wall carbon nanotube, CVD and RGO G...
[ 2 ] - Performance of Potassium Bicarbonate and Calcium Chloride Draw Solutions for Desalination of Saline Water Using Forward Osmosis
Forward osmosis (FO) has recently drawn attention as a promising membrane based method for seawater and brackish water desalination. In this study, we focus on the use of calciun chloride (CaCl2) and potassium bicarbonate (KHCO3) as inorganic salt draw solution candidates due to their appropriate performance in water flux and reverse salt diffusion as well as reasonable cost. The experiments we...
[ 3 ] - Numerical Study of Operating Pressure Effect on Carbon Nanotube Growth Rate and Length Uniformity
Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) is one of the most popular methods for producing Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs). The growth rate of CNTs based on CVD technique is investigated by using a numerical model based on finite volume method. Inlet gas mixture, including xylene as carbon source and mixture of argon and hydrogen as carrier gas enters into a horizontal CVD reactor at atmospheric pressure. In thi...
[ 4 ] - Investigation of the Effect of Nanoparticles Mean Diameter on Turbulent Mixed Convection of a Nanofluid in a Horizontal Curved tube Using a Two Phase Approach
Turbulent mixed convection of a nanofluid (water/Al2O3, Φ=.02) has been studied numerically. Two-phase mixture model has been used to investigate the effects of nanoparticles mean diameter on the flow parameters. Nanoparticles distribution at the tube cross section shows that the particles are uniformly dispersed. The non-uniformity of the particles distribution occurs in the case of large nano...
[ 5 ] - Optimum Shape Design of a Radiant Oven by the Conjugate Gradient Method and a Grid Regularization Approach
This study presents an optimization problem for shape design of a 2-D radiant enclosure with transparent medium and gray-diffuse surfaces. The aim of the design problem is to find the optimum geometry of a radiant enclosure from the knowledge of temperature and heat flux over some parts of boundary surface, namely the design surface. The solution of radiative heat transfer is based on the net r...
