In the present paper, the effect of water-CuO nanofluid on the radiator heat transfer of an automobile, Peugeot 405 XU7 engine type is investigated experimentally. The experiments are carried out for the radiator water (water-ethylene glycol with a volume fraction of 80-20, respectively) as a base fluid and water-CuO nanofluid with the volume fraction of 0.5% and 1%. Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS...

An empirical correlation, based on conventional forms, has been developed to represent the oxygen mass transfer coefficient as a function of operating conditions and organic fraction in two-phase, aqueous-organic dispersions. Such dispersions are characteristic of two-phase partitioning bioreactors, which have found increasing application for the biodegradation of toxic substrates. In this work...

Usually, in concentration polarization models, the mass transfer coefficient is an unknown parameter. Also, its variation with changing experimental circumstances is in question. In the literature, many relationships can be found to describe the mass transfer coefficient under various conditions, as well as various corrections for deviating behaviour during ultrafiltration. To obtain reliable m...

The possibilities of using jet aeration for biological wastewater treatment in small facilities were considered the article. In shallow depth reservoirs, studies carried out to change sizes actively aerated zone with a decrease height liquid layer reservoir. research was conducted aerators nozzles "keyway" type holes. It established that relative reservoir makes it possible increase share benef...

Gas film mass transfer coefficients (kGat , kGaw) and liquid film mass transfer coefficients (kLaw) for packing materials used in biofilters and biotrickling filters for air pollution control were determined experimentally. Lava rock, polyurethane foam cube (PUF), Pall ring, porous ceramic beads, porous ceramic Raschig rings and compost–woodchips mixtures were investigated. The experiments were...

This study aims at improving the knowledge on effects of gas injection, bubbles sizes and contaminants oxygen transfer in microbubble clouds. First injection are studied linked to several parameters that change together with changes flow rate, namely bubble rise velocities. Oxygen is then presence shown affect size distribution, modify dynamics interfacial mass transfer. efficiencies also measu...
