abstract the existence of various perceptions related to the efficiency of water use in agricultural sector can hamper the development of appropriate water resource conservation policies. particularly, when there has been an emphasis on increasing water use efficiency by improvement in irrigation systems. the main purpose of current study is to estimate excess water use for a sample of 15 farms...

the abrasion is a significant issue, especially in machining of rigid steels. a functional and suitable approach for enhancing the heat transfer from machining area is using an intermediate fluid with higher heat transfer potential instead of common fluids. the objective of this experimental study is to discuss production, stability and thermal conductivity examination of water/graphene oxide n...

the transfer and sedimentation in storage dams reduce the volume and damage the life of water reservoirs. due to the importance of water, its storage, and the cost time of constructing reservoirs, especially the scarcity of construncting sites for them, a lot of attentions should be given to the sedimentation of dam reservoirs. it requires the estimate of thew sedimentation and its management. ...

A heat exchanger using nanofluid needs to operate at optimum mass concentration level to get the maximum heat transfer performance. A numerical analysis is performed on the heat transfer and pressure drop of water-based γ-Al2O3 nanofluid gasketed-plate heat exchanger to specify its optimum conditions. Cold water will be heated by γ-Al2O3/water nanofluid. The results showed that optimal volume c...

In this work, the characteristics of flow and heat transfer of a fluid containing nano particles of aluminum oxide with the water volume fraction (0.1-0.2-0.3)(V/V) percent of the reports. The overall heat transfer coefficient, heat transfer and the average heat transfer fluid containing nano water - aluminum oxide in a horizontal double pipe counter flow heat exchanger under turbulent flow con...
