The tribology properties of TiO2/POE, SiO2/POE and TiO2-SiO2/POE nanolubricants were investigated for an automotive air-conditioning system with electrically-driven compressor (EDC). A two-step preparation method was used in dispersing TiO2 SiO2 nanoparticles into Polyol-ester (POE)-based lubricant at different volume concentrations 0.01 to 0.1%. coefficient friction (COF) wear scar diameter (W...

Viscosity is a crucial thermophysical feature of substance that must be accurately determined before designing system with nanofluid as the working fluid. In this study, modern technique committee machine intelligent (CMIS) used for establishing predictive model relative viscosity water-based nanofluids. The was developed by considering 1440 experimental data points different types nanofluids c...

Green synthesis methods using plants have many advantages such as time-saving, chemical-free, and negative effects on the environment. So, extracted Citrus aurantium juice was used to synthesize green CuO/TiO2 and(G- CuO/TiO2) nanocatalyst which characterized by XRD, SEM, EDX, FTIR, BET, ZP utilized in degradation of methylene blue (MB) under UV lamps dark environments. The ANOVA program maximi...

A series of CuO-Cu2O/TiO2 nanocomposite samples were prepared by the sol-gel method. Before applying the sol-gel method, the Cu(OH)2 nanostructure on Cu powders were formed by in-situ solution treatment. The samples were characterized through some techniques and the photocatalytic performance of CuO-Cu2O/TiO2 nanocomposites for gas-phase 2-propanol photo-oxidation under UV and sunlight type ill...

This interdisciplinary project investigates the performance of nanoscale metalinsulator-semiconductor (MIS) contact structures that electrically couple optimized catalysts to high quality semiconductor absorbers in photoelectrochemical (PEC) cells, while chemically protecting the absorbers from oxidation during solar-driven water splitting. In the 2013-14 funding period, we completed and publis...

TiO2/SiO2 composites were synthesized via a simple sol gel method by surface reduction of Ti4+ ions to Ti3+ using titanium isopropoxide as TiO2 precursor and rice husks (RHA) SiO2 source. The silica content calcination temperature the materials evaluated. Thermal, crystallographic physicochemical aspects suggest that biogenic (SiO2) can improve thermal stability anatase phase TiO2, when reaches...

The catalytic hydrogenation of lactic acid to 1,2-propanediol with supported Ru catalysts in water was investigated. The influence of catalyst support (activated carbon, γ-Al2O3, SiO2, TiO2, and CeO2) and promoters (Pd, Au, Mo, Re, Sn) on the catalytic performance was evaluated. Catalytic tests revealed that TiO2 yields the best Ru catalysts. With a monometallic Ru/TiO2 catalyst, a 1,2-propaned...

in this research we have developed a treatment method for textile wastewater by tio2/sio2-based magnetic nanocomposite. textile wastewater includes a large variety of dyes and chemicals and needs treatments. this manuscript presents a facile method for removing dyes from the textile wastewater by using tio2/sio2-based nanocomposite (fe3o4@sio2/tio2) under uv irradiation. this magnetic nanocompo...
