abstract in all river engineering projects, determination of flow resistance is essential. most commonly, the manning roughness coefficient, , is used to describe the flow resistance or relative roughness of main channel or flood plane. over the past decades little or no study has been conducted to investigate the effects of particle shapes on manning roughness coefficient. therefore, it is the...

A new concept of designing and synthesizing highly dispersed ionic liquids was developed through physical confinement or encapsulation of them into silica gel matrix with sol-gel process. A series of silica gel confined ionic liquids were synthesized through this process and characterized by diffuse-reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) and FTRaman analysis, and abnormal ...

Li2TiO3 compound is one of the most important tritium breeding ceramics for industrial application in the nuclear fusion reactor. The use of the hydrothermal method for preparing ceramic composite materials is new trend. In this work, hybrid nanocomposite microspheres of the nanocrystallites Li2TiO3 were prepared at low temperature 400°C. Nanocomposite powders synthesized by the batch supercrit...

Two low-dose blends were prepared that differed only in the particle size of the drug used to make the blends. The geometric mean particle diameters for the two lots of drug used were 18.5 and 6.1 /~m. Samples of the blends approximately equivalent to the unit dose of 10 /~g per 99 mg of blend were assayed for potency. For the blend containing the larger particle size drug, the potency range wa...

piroxicam has two different crystalline forms (known as needle and cubic forms), that they are different in physicochemical properties such as biological solubility. in the current research, using taguchi experimental design approach the influences of five operating variables on formation of the piroxicam polymorph shapes in recrystallization were studied. the variables include type of solvent,...

Maghemite and magnetite nanoparticles and nanorode are now losing interests in the field of nanobiotechnology and pharmaceutical for their applications. This paper reports on a hydrothermal process for the synthesis of Fe2 O3 in the γ-phases nanorodes, when the hydrothermal temperature was 100 ̊ C. The uniqueness of the method lies in the use of ferrous ammonium sulphate, hexamine was added as t...

Red (SrCa)AlSiN3: Eu nitride phosphor with different particle sizes were characterized based on physical and luminescent properties, then packaged into Chip-On-Board (COB) Warm White Light Emitting Diode (LED) modules to investigate the influence of particle size on packaging parameters and optical output of the COB LED devices. The phosphor particle sizes investigated were 10μm, 12μm and 14μm,...

Nanotechnology is new form of technology which has produced a great development in variousfields. Nanoparticles are of the great scientific interest as they are effectively a bridge between bulk material and atomic & molecular structures. Nanoparticles are the particle that have size 1 to 100 nm and possess due to large surface area to volume ratio & smaller size. Different types of nanom...

A nanofluid is a dilute liquid suspension of particles with at least one critical dimension smaller than ~100 nm. Research works so far suggest that nanofluids offer excellent heat transfer enhancement over conventional base fluids. The enhancement depends on several factors such as particle shape, particle size distribution, volume fraction of nanoparticles, temperature, pH, and thermal conduc...
