This article predicts the electromagneto squeezing rotational flow of carbon-water nanofluid between two stretchable Riga plates. Riga plate is known as electromagnetic actuator which is the combination of permanent magnets and a span wise aligned array of alternating electrodes mounted on a plane surface. Mathematical model is developed for the flow problem with the phenomena of melting heat t...

Both the functionalized and non functionalized carbon nanomaterials influence fruit and crop production in edible plants and vegetables. The fullerene, C60 and carbon nanotubes have been shown to increase the water retaining capacity, biomass and fruit yield in plants up to ~118% which is a remarkable achievement of nanotechnology in recent years. The fullerene treated bitter melon seeds also i...

in this paper functionalized multiwall carbon nanotubes (fmwcnt) were modified using doxycycline, containing reactable nitrogen, which can attach chemically to functionalized mwcnt. the synthesized nano compounds were characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir) and raman spectroscopy. these spectrums proved the existence of nitrogen atoms of amide functional groups. the mor...

A simple method has been developed for the preconcentration of benzene and phenolic compounds (BPC) by the adsorption of its carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The preconcentration of benzene and phenolic compounds (BPC) are ubiquitous pollutants, and many of them are carcinogenic or mutagenic. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are a kind of novel and interesting carbon material which can be used for separation an...

Using concepts of hierarchical multi-scale modeling, we report development of a mesoscopic model for single wall carbon nanotubes with parameters completely derived from full atomistic simulations. The parameters in the mesoscopic model are fit to reproduce elastic, fracture and adhesion properties of carbon nanotubes, in this article demonstrated for (5,5) carbon nanotubes. The mesoscale model...

We have obtained atomically resolved STM images of individual single-wall carbon nanotubes. The interpretation of the apparent lattice is nontrivial. In most cases we observe a triangular arrangement instead of the expected hexagonal carbon lattice. However, the chirality of the nanotubes can be unambiguously determined from the images, which is an important result because the electronic proper...

The effective parameters of (5, 0) and (5, 5) single-wall carbon nanotubes during the interaction with carbon dioxide as sensors are determined. The interaction of carbon dioxide  molecules with internal and external walls of the nanotubes is studied using Gaussian 03 coding by density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/6-311G level of theory. CO2 rotation around tube axles vertically and par...

Nitrogen-doped (N-doped) single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were synthesized by chemical vapor deposition using SiOx nanoparticles as a catalyst and ethylenediamine as the source of both carbon and nitrogen. The N-doped SWCNTs have a mean diameter of 1.1 nm and a narrow diameter range, with 92% of them having diameters from 0.7 to 1.4 nm. Multi-wavelength laser Raman spectra and temperature-...

Owing to their atomic-level perfection, carbon nanotubes exhibit unusually high electrical and thermal conductivity. Our electrical transport calculations, performed using a scattering technique based on the Landauer-Biittiker formalism, suggest that the conductance of inhomogeneous multi-wall nanotubes may show an unusual fractional quantization behavior, in agreement with recent experimental ...
