The continuous development of global economy with decreasing in available hydrocarbon sources and increasing discovery and extraction costs due to decrease in-situ oil and gas reservoir, displays the necessity of using new techniques for the improve rate of penetration and productivity in well. Nanotechnology has already contributed significantly to technological advances in the energy industri...

This research quantitatively investigates fluid damping of MEMS and NEMS flexural resonators such as scanning probe and carbon nano-tube resonators, aiming to improve the quality factor prediction and therefore the resonator design. Fluid damping in beam-type resonators is most affected by resonant frequency, device dimensions and cross-sectional shape which are systematically examined within. ...

Nano fillers are part of new studies to enhance various properties of fluids and solids. For example, adding nanoparticles as an enforcement in nanocomposites or as an additive to improve thermal or electrical properties in nano-fluids are of extreme importance in science and industry. There are numerous methods to uniformly disperse nanoparticles in fluid and solid phase. One of the well-used ...

A novel generic method of silica supported catalyst system generation from a fluid state is presented. The technique is based on the combined flow and radiation (such as microwave, thermal or UV) induced co-assembly of the support and catalyst precursors forming nano-reactors, followed by catalyst precursor decomposition. The transformation from the precursor to supported catalyst oxide state c...

In this study, effect of adding in SiO2 nanoparticle in base fluid (water) in car radiator is investigated experimentally. Radiators are compact heat exchangers that optimized and evaluated by considering different working conditions. Car\'s cooling system, plays an important role in vehicle\'s performance, consists of two main parts, known as radiator and fan. Radiators are compact heat exchan...

In this article CuO/water nanofluid was synthesized by using polyvinylpyrolidone (PVP) as the dispersant.  Thenanofluid stability period and the heat transfer enhancement were determinedby measuring the thermal conductivities. To study the nano-fluid stability, zeta (ζ) potential, and absorbency were measured under different pH values and PVP surfactant concentrations; also thermal conductivity...
