Nontoxic nanoparticle contrast agents with multiple imaging functions are required for medical diagnostic imaging, and coating the less toxic materials meets this requirement. This work proposes a method fabricating magnetite, gold (Au), silica nanoparticles toward imaging. The proposed involved four steps: synthesis of magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles, Au formation composite Fe3O4 (Fe3O4/Au), F...

This study investigated the elimination of Cr(VI) from aqueous solution utilizing a composite from magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4) capped with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The structure of the prepared composite system was examined by Fourier Transform Infra Red Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray Diffractometry (XRD), and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). Separation of the Fe3O4/CTAB com...

This study aims at the calculation of pressure drop from simulation internal nanofluid flow in a new and long stainless pipe (1.4 m 0.01 diameter). Calculations were made numeric simulations which based on theoretical models experimental proprieties three nanofluids: graphene nanodiscs with water, titanium oxide nanospheres water iron water. Different concentrations considered each kind nanoflu...

In this paper, we investigate the effect of adding a stabilizer on the dynamic thermal properties of ZnO nanofluid (containing 5 to 10 nm diameter of ZnO nanocrystals) measured using a 3ω method. Addition of the stabilizer leads to the stabilization of the nanofluid and also substantial reduction of the enhancement of thermal transport compared to that seen in the bare ZnO nanofluid. This also ...

Forced convection boundary layer magnetohydrodynamic flow of a nanofluid over a permeable stretching plate is studied in this paper. The effects of suction-injection and viscous dissipation are taken into account. The nanofluid model includes Brownian motion and thermophoresis effects. The governing momentum, energy, and nanofluid solid volume fraction equations are solved numerically using an ...

In this paper the thermal convective instabilities of a binary nanofluid is theoretically investigated. In order to analyze a binary nanofluid, an addition factor is proposed under linear stability theory which is applied to the stability analysis of normal fluid. The factor describes the effect of nanoparticles on the convective instability of a basefluid. The Soret effect which represents the...

The thermosolutal instability problem in a horizontal layer of an elasticoviscous nanofluid in porous medium is considered. Walters’ (model B') fluid model is employed to describe the rheological behavior of the nanofluid and for the porous medium, the Darcy model is employed. From the linear stability analysis based upon normal modes analysis method, the dispersion relation accounting for the ...

In this study, the convective heat transfer and pressure drop in laminar flow of Al2O3/water and CuO/water nanofluids through square and triangular cross-sectional ducts have been numerically investigated using new technique. It has been assumed that there is constant heat flux boundary condition at walls. In addition, to include the presence of nanoparticles, the dispersion model has been used...
