one of the effective methods to improve the thermal efficiency of solar collectors is using nanofluids as the coolant. the present study experimentally investigated the effect of sio2/water nanofluid with 1% mass fraction on the performance of a symmetric collector, i.e. conical solar collector. the conical solar collector with 1 m2 area and normal to the earth was tested in ahvaz, a city in th...

Purpose of this clinical research study was, to determine the efficacy of plain water mixed with pure natural honey, to be used in the inflammation of the kidney (Nephritis) patients. 10 patients aged 18 to 21 years, (4 females, 6 males) with non- sever nephritis were given[three times a day] one standard glass of plain boiled water mixed with 4-table spoons of pure natural honey (Mel) for 14 d...

Pulsed NMR spectroscopy has been used extensively to study the motion of water in tissue by proton and deuteron resonance methods. While some studies (1-4) of this type had been done in the 1960's, activity in this area received a great stimulus from the report by Damadian (5) in 1971 that the proton spin-lattice relaxation time in the laboratory frame (7", ) was substantially longer for rat tu...

Oil-water two-phase flow is widespread in petroleum industry processes. The study of oil-water two-phase flow in horizontal pipes and the liquid holdup measurement of oil-water two-phase flow are of great importance for the optimization of the oil production process. This paper presents a novel sensor, i.e., a mini-conductance probe (MCP) for measuring pure-water phase conductivity of oil-water...

Two different analyses of impedance data obtained from ultra-pure water allowed to equilibrate with the atmosphere have recently appeared. They both thus show much smaller low-frequency resistances than does ultra-pure water. Different fitting models were used in these analyses and led to appreciably different parameter estimates from their data fits. Their two “pure” water experimental data se...

We present high resolution (R = 90,000) mid-infrared spectra of M dwarfs. The mid infrared region of the spectra of cool low mass stars contain pure rotational water vapour transitions that may provide us with a new methodology in the determination of the effective temperatures for low mass stars. We identify and assign water transitions in these spectra and determine how sensitive each pure ro...
