the aim of this paper is to enhance thermal performance of a microchannel heat sink by using nanoencapsulated phase change material (nepcm) slurry as a cooling fluid instead of pure fluid. a threedimensional model of a circular channel using water slurry of nepcm was developed. the results show a significant reduction in the mean fluid temperature along the channel and heat sink wall temperatu...

trifluoromethylated organic compounds, especially chiral quaternary alcohols bearing trifluoromethyl group are of important intermediates in drugs, agrochemicals and etc.an efficient epoxidation of β-cf3-β,β-disubstituted unsaturated ketones (6) has been developed with environmental benign hydrogen peroxide as the oxidant and f5-substituted chiral quaternary ammonium salt (1g or 5) derived from...

in this research, tio2 nanoparticles were synthesized by a simple wet chemical method. ticl4 was used as precursor in hydrogen peroxideand ethanol. the tio2 nanoparticles were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (tem), scanning electron microscopy (sem), x-ray diffraction (xrd), electron dispersive spectroscopy (eds) and uv-vis spectrophotometer. the particle size of the as-synthe...

this paper addresses the annealing temperature effect on nanostructure and phase transition of copper oxide thin films, deposited by pvd method on glass substrate (at 110 nm thickness) and post annealed at different temperatures (200-400°c) with a flow of 1 cm3s-1 oxygen. the x-ray diffraction (xrd) was employed for crystallographic and phase analyses, while atomic force microscopy (afm) was us...

kinetic study of epoxidation of unsaturated ketone of mesityl oxide was studied by usinghydrogen peroxide in the presence of dodecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (dtab) as aninverse phase transfer catalyst. the reaction was carried out in the two-phase media of waterheptanewith 1:1 ratio in 25 °c. it was found that the order of reaction for mesityl oxide forketone concentration in the range of 0.0...

in this work, the interfacial interfacial polymerization (ip) technique was employed using terephthaloyl chloride (tpc) and p-phenylenediamine (ppd), as reactant monomers, to prepare poly(paraphenylene terephthalamide) thin film composite (tfc) nanofiltration on polyethersulphone (pes) support layer. the effects of six different anionic and non-ionic surfactants, in the aqueous phase on the mor...

the aim of this study was to develop a microemulsion system as a medium for laccase-catalyzed reactions. phase behavior studies were conducted by constructing partial pseudo-ternary phase diagrams for systems comprising of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (ctab), various organic solvents as the oil phase (i.e., hexane, cyclohexane, heptane, octane, isooctane, toluene, isopropyl myristate), two co...

experimental determination of solubility and ternary phase diagram of chiral compound are of tedious and time consuming tasks, and in many cases, there is not enough experimental data for different enantiomeric compositions to access the experimental ternary phase diagram. using thermodynamic models with predictive capability, having less dependency on experimental data, affords a great advanta...

the purpose of this reaserch is to measure the phase equilibrium data of the ternary system (water + phosphoric acid + 1-nonanol) at different temperatures. experimental solubility curves and tie-line points for the system were obtained at t = 298.2, 308.2 and 318.2 k and ambient pressure. the binodal curve data were detected by the cloud point method. the mass fractions of each layer were achi...

in this present study, volume of fluid method in openfoam open source cfd package will be extended to consider phase change phenomena with modified model due to condensation and boiling processes. this model is suitable for the case in which both unsaturated phase and saturated phase are present and for beginning boiling and condensation process needn't initial interface. both phases (liqu...
