We study the phase behavior of bowl-shaped particles using computer simulations. These particles were found experimentally to form a metastable wormlike fluid phase in which the bowl-shaped particles have a strong tendency to stack on top of each other [M. Marechal, Nano Lett. 10, 1907 (2010)]. In this work, we show that the transition from the low-density fluid to the wormlike phase has an int...

Investigation of the electrochemical deterioration mild steel in rice husk agro-waste developed nano-coolant is presented this study. Corrosion rates versus concentration are presented. Linear polarization test data was also covered. Mild coupons were immersed different concentrations (ten and control as a reference) nano-fluid for period 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144 168 h. rate calculated based on...

in the present research, nonlinear vibration in a coupled system of boron-nitride nano-tube reinforced composite (bnntrc) oil pipes is studied. single-walled boron-nitride nano-tubes (swbnnts) are arranged in a longitudinal direction inside poly-vinylidene fluoride (pvdf) matrix. damping and shearing effects of surrounded medium are taken into account by visco-pasternak model. based on piezoele...

The electroviscous effect has been widely studied to investigate the effect of surface charge-induced electric double layers (EDL) on the pressure-driven flow in a micro/nano channel. EDL has been reported to reduce the velocity of fluid flow and increase the fluid drag. Nevertheless, the study on the combined effect of EDL with large zeta potential up to several hundred millivolts and surface ...

During the past few decades molecular dynamics has been a widely applied tool to simulate fluid confined in micro/nano geometries. What makes interfacial fluids fundamentally different from the bulk fluid is the fact that their density varies considerably over microscopic distances. A class of such strongly inhomogeneous fluids are fluids confined in very narrow channels by solid boundaries. In...
