sio2-coated cobalt ferrite (cofe2o4) nanoparticles were obtained by the hydrolysis of tetraethylorthosilicate in the presence of cofe2o4 nanoparticles in co-precipitation. the effects of sio2coating on the magnetic properties of cofe2o4 nanoparticles were investigated. the structural, morphological and magnetic properties of as-prepared sample were characterization by x-ray diffraction (xrd), f...

We develop a model for the rheology of a three-phase suspension of bubbles and particles in a Newtonian liquid undergoing steady flow. We adopt an 'effective-medium' approach in which the bubbly liquid is treated as a continuous medium which suspends the particles. The resulting three-phase model combines separate two-phase models for bubble suspension rheology and particle suspension rheology,...

• Euler-Lagrange simulations of agitated solids suspensions including breakage Solids distribution and flow structures evolve with particle size reduction process Revolving impeller is the major source Two-way coupled solids-liquid in a lab-scale mixing tank operating at Reynolds number 4000 volume fraction 10% have been performed. The keep track individual particles, their collisions. Upon col...

The formation of soot particles in combustion depends on several factors that include: pressure, temperature, fuel chemical structure and extent of premixing. An improved version of the thermophoretic particle densitometry (TPD) method, has been used in this study for quantitative and qualitative characterization of soot particles generated in laminar partially-premixed co-flow flames having di...

The rheology of disperse systems is an important processing parameter. Being able to characterize and manipulate the flow behavior of dispersions one can ensure their optimal performance. Waterborne automotive coatings, for example, should exhibit a distinct low-shear viscosity necessary to provide good leveling but to avoid sagging at the same time. Then, a strong degree of shear thinning is n...

We use three-dimensional confocal microscopy to study the structure of a dense colloidal liquid confined between two parallel glass plates. The colloidal sample is at a volume fraction of 50% and is a binary mixture of 2 μm and 3 μm diameter particles to prevent crystallization. The plate separation ranges from 50 small particle diameters to 3 small particle diameters. While particles form laye...

One of the fields where electroacoustic techniques (electrokinetic sonic amplitude, ESA, and colloid vibration current, CVI, are presently available) are expected to be most useful is concentrated suspensions. Here, other electrokinetic techniques, linked to the observation of individual particles, show great limitations. In spite of this, the problem of electroacoustics in concentrated suspens...

We performed experiments to establish the scaling of convective heat transfer at the wall of circulating fluidized beds. In these units, the suspension condenses into clusters separated from the wall by a gas film of order the mean particle diameter. Because of the relatively high solid volume fraction and heat capacity of these clusters, Lints and Glicksman [AIChE Symp. Ser. 89 (1993), pp. 297...

We address the problem of making quantitative measurements of local flow velocities in turbulent liquid helium, using tracer particles. We survey and evaluate presently available particles and previous work to establish the need to develop new particles for the purpose. We present the first practical solution for visualizing fluid motions using a suspension of solid hydrogen particles with diam...

The conventional liquids have some limitations regarding the thermal properties. The nanoparticles addition is one of the techniques which can modify them. In this research, heat transfer coefficient (h) and pressure loss (Δp) of various nanofluids containing Al2O3, SiO2 and MgO nanoparticles dispersed in water in an annular tube with constant wall temperature were numerically considered. Accor...
