Homogeneous nucleation rates and droplet growth rates of water in pure methane and mixtures of methane and carbon dioxide were measured in an expansion wave tube at 235 K and 10 bar. The nucleation rate in pure methane is three orders of magnitude higher than literature nucleation rates of water in low-pressure helium or argon. Addition of carbon dioxide to the carrier gas mixture increases the...

In this study, we use density functional theory (DFT) to investigate the surface co-adsorption of glycine with water on Cu{110}. Our results show that, under UHV conditions and for a wide range of temperatures, a pure glycine monolayer is more stable than either mixed gly-water phases or pure water (ice) monolayers, but for a high water pressure half-dissociated water layers can appear on the s...

Abstract. In this study, the hydrate kinetics for CO2 gas was assessed in treating highly saline water at 3 MPa and 275.15 K to acquire perception towards recovery uptake of desalination purpose. The experimentation performed using a stainless-steel reactor by implementing isochoric (constant cooling) technique related with deionized system. study discloses that forms quicker deionised 75 mins ...

In present work a experimental study based on thermosyphon is investigated using a solid nano-particles added to water as a working fluid. Tests are made on a thermosyphon. The experiment was performed in order to measure the temperature distribution and compare the heat transfer rate of the thermosyphon with the nano uid and with pure water. The tested concentration level of the nano-particles...

The goal of this paper is to experimentally study the behavior of nanofluid to improve the performance of a circular heat pipe. Pure water and Al2O3-water based nanofluid are used as working fluids. An experimental setup is designed and constructed to study the heat pipe performance under different operating conditions. The effect of filling ratio, volume fraction of nano-particle in the base f...

Water constitutes the intracellular matrix in which biological molecules interact. Understanding its dynamic state is a main scientific challenge, which continues to provoke controversy after more than 50 years of study. We measured water dynamics in vivo in the cytoplasm of Escherichia coli by using neutron scattering and isotope labelling. Experimental timescales covered motions from pure wat...
