In many bio-molecular and nano-technological processes, the physical phenomenon of Brownian motion plays an important role. At this, nano-sized particles suspended in a fluid move in a random manner due to collisions with single fluid molecules. The present diploma thesis describes the theory and algorithmic realisation of a fluctuating multiplerelaxation-time lattice Boltzmann scheme which was...

the effects of adding nano-silica particles on the compressive strength and water permeability of concrete and its comparison with that of micro-silica were investigated in this work. the effect of combination of nano- silica and micro-silica were also studied in this work, which resulted in an increase in compressive strength of concrete in comparison with other concrete specimens tested in th...

gelled propellants are improved propellants that can be considered as the final extension of liquid propellants. high specific impulse, good density and safety better than that of both solid and liquid propellants are advantages of the gel propellants. they are made by addition a suitable gellant to liquid propellants. in this research, nano al particles have been used in udmh gel fuel. the gel...

A novel generic method of silica supported catalyst system generation from a fluid state is presented. The technique is based on the combined flow and radiation (such as microwave, thermal or UV) induced co-assembly of the support and catalyst precursors forming nano-reactors, followed by catalyst precursor decomposition. The transformation from the precursor to supported catalyst oxide state c...

Cooling is one of the most important challenges in industries, especially in the automotive industry. The coolant which is used in engine radiators possesses lower thermal conductivity. To enhance the thermal properties, coolant was dispersed in nano-sized particles and the fluid is called as Nanofluid. In this Study, Silica Nanoparticle was dispersed in Paraflu Engine coolant usin...

Electromagnetic properties of cylindrical active coated nano-particles comprised of a silica nano-cylinder core layered with a plasmonic concentric nano-shell are investigated for potential nano-sensor applications. Particular attention is devoted to the near-field properties of these particles, as well as to their far-field radiation characteristics, in the presence of an electric or a magneti...

Nickel based nano particles are metallic Ni and NiO. These materials find wide utility in various fields in view of their high surface potentials, surface area, semi conducting nature, reduction and complexing tendencies. The present review is mainly aimed at the investigations made in using these nano nickel particles as adsorbents in purifying water. The synthesis of nano particles of Ni/ NiO...

BACKGROUND Un-doped and N-doped TiO2 nano-particles with different nitrogen contents were successfully synthesized by a simple sol-gel method, and were characterized by X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, Energy dispersive X-ray analysis and UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectra techniques. Then enhancement of sonocatalytic degradation of humic acid by un-doped and ...
