In this paper, the problem of laminar nanofluid flow which results from the nonlinear stretching of a flat sheet is investigated numerically. In this paper, a modified variable physical properties model for analyzing nanofluids flow and heat transfer is introduced. In this model, the effective viscosity, density, and thermal conductivity of the solid-liquid mixture (nanofluids) which are common...

Cl = section lift coefficient c = local chord length D = fading-memory constant G = nondimensional circulation l = section lift force/length m = number of points used in sine series expansion of circulation function N = consecutive iterations convergence parameter r = perpendicular distance from vortex tol = iteration relative tolerance of conversion U1 = freestream velocity magnitude w = downw...

Current methods to evaluate the severity and progression of the disease, effectiveness of therapy and survival among cancer patients are generally limited in their prognostic ability. Whole-body phase angle, measured by using a tetrapolar, phase-sensitive bioelectrical impedance analyzer, offers a new approach. Phase angle (arc tangent of the ratio of reactance to resistance) is a non-invasive ...

The molecular mechanism underlying the action of local anesthetics is still elusive. Phenylethanol (PEtOH) is an ingredient of essential oils with a rose-like odor and has been used as a local anesthetic. In this work, we have explored the effect of PEtOH on thermotropic behavior and organization of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) membranes utilizing differential scanning calorimetry (DSC...
