This paper focuses on molten aluminum and aluminum alloy droplet generation for application to net-form manufacturing of structural components. The mechanism of droplet formation from capillary stream break-up provides the allure for use in net-form manufacturing due to the intrinsic uniformity of droplets generated under proper forcing conditions and the high rates at which they are generated....

encapsulation of bioactive ingredient and production of nano carriers in order to food enrichment and production of functional food is one of the applications of nano technology in food science and pharmaceutical. nano carriers are produced using biopolymers (proteins and polysaccharids) or lipid based materials. in this research, production and characterization of pectin-casein nanocomplexes a...

We present a computer simulation study on crystal nucleation and growth in supersaturated suspensions of mono-disperse hard spheres induced by a triangular lattice substrate. The main result is that compressed substrates are wet by the crystalline phase (the crystalline phase directly appears without any induction time), while for stretched substrates we observe heterogeneous nucleation. The sh...

this study is focused on synthesis of nano-colloidal silica via alkaline water glass solution. sodium ions of water glass were removed by cation exchanging in a resin column to obtain the silicic acid which was titrated to the solution of sodium silicate. concentration of the colloidal silica and ph value of the solutions were controlled using different concentrations of alkaline sodium silicat...

The biological activity of particles is largely dependent on their size in biological systems. Dispersion in the aqueous phase has been both a critical impediment to and a prerequisite for particle studies. Carbon black has been used as a surrogate to investigate the biological effects of carbonaceous particles. Here, biocompatible methods were established to disperse carbon black into ultrafin...

Three dimensional single particle trapping and manipulation is an outstanding challenge in various fields ranging from basic physics to life sciences. By monitoring the response of a trapped particle to a designed environment one can extract its characteristics. In addition, quantum dynamics of a spatially scanned well-known particle can provide environmental information. Precise tracking and p...

Thermal conductivity is one of the important thermophysical property nanofluid in enhancing heat transfer. To analyse transfer boundary layer problems thermal diffusivity coefficient along with embedded nano particle values will be used via various models. Many models are being utilised for theoretical analysis behaviour such as Maxwell model, Hamilton crosser model etc. In this current communi...

Numerical study of transportation of nano and micro particles in a fully developed turbulent channel flow have been studied. A hybrid method is applied to study this work. The continuous phase is solved in the Eulerian frame. Finite volume method is used to solve steady state conservation of mass and momentum equations. Anisotropy DNS data for turbulent intensities are used in the analysis. The...

During the last couple of years several ink manufacturers have presented metal nano-particle inks for inkjet printing. These inks provide low resistances on plastic and paper substrates, thus enabling manufacturing of high-conductivity conductors that could be used in circuit boards. Inkjet printing of a commercial silver nano-particle ink on paper and plastic substrates has been investigated. ...
