During the last couple of years several ink manufacturers have presented metal nano-particle inks for inkjet printing. These inks provide low resistances on plastic and paper substrates, thus enabling manufacturing of high-conductivity conductors that could be used in circuit boards. Inkjet printing of a commercial silver nano-particle ink on paper and plastic substrates has been investigated. ...

There has been great interest in the use of carbon nano-materials (CNMs) in agriculture. However, the existing literature reveals mixed effects from CNM exposure on plants, ranging from enhanced crop yield to acute cytotoxicity and genetic alteration. These seemingly inconsistent research-outcomes, taken with the current technological limitations for in situ CNM detection, present significant h...

This study described the natural circulation and heat transfer of a molten pool in specifically designed core catcher conceived for pressurized water reactor. In addition to external cooling, features internal cooling tubes embedded pool. To investigate coolability such configuration, first, full-scale simulation is conducted give preliminary under real SA situation. Results illustrated that ef...

The most important reason for the design of curved tubes is increasing the heat transfer between the fluid and the wall which has provided many applications in various industries such as air conditioning, micro-electric, heat exchangers and etc. The aim of this study is numerical investigation of nano fluids flow in spiral tubes with injection of base fluid in different Reynolds numbers. Accord...

This review paper provides researcherwith a comprehensive information about the Carbon Nano tubes and the catalyst parameters that influences theproduction and morphology of the of Carbon Nano tubes.Carbon nanotubes, referred to as CNTs, are one of the most important materials used in electrical, mechanical, thermal, chemical and textile industries. Since discovery of CNTs in 1991, many scienti...

This work focuses on investigations of the luminescence properties of coaxial InGaN layers around single GaN nano-tubes on top of GaN micro-pyramids. The nano-tube structure was formed after the controlled desorption of ZnO nano-pillar templates during the coaxial GaN epitaxy. An intense and broad photoluminescence (PL) peak centered around 2.85 eV is attributed to transitions from a shallow do...

Various techniques for producing narrow pulse ( f 5 ns) modulation of millimeter wave tubes, such as extended interaction amplifiers, magnetrons, and traveling-wave tubes, are discussed. In order to achieve the narrow pulsewidth, the switch, pulse forming circuitry, as well as the tube interface, must satisfy very stringent requirements. In particular, the switch must operate at kilovolt (kV) l...

Nan-sized inorganic particles having characteristic morphology and narrow size-distribution have attracted attention due to their potential applications as functional materials, i.e., catalysts, magnetic materials, conducting inks, and ferrofluids. Various preparation and stabilization methods of nano-sized metal particles, metal oxide particles, and metal sulfide particles have been reported. ...
