in this paper the numerical analysis of flow and time dependent heat transfer of micro-tube conveying nanofluid in laminar flow is investigated. in this study, convection heat transfer of nanofluid and base fluid and transient analysis for time-varying heat flux for time step of 0.0001 second are elucidated. it is observed that the pumping power of nanofluid flowing and the maximum temperature ...

We describe an innovative form of polymer micro-tubes with diverse functions including biodegradation, magnetic manipulation, and photothermal effect that employs and activates photothermal therapy to target cancer cells. The micro-tube comprised soybean protein isolate, poly-l-glutamic acid, magnetite nanoparticles, plus gold nanoparticles. Through electrostatic force, these components, with o...

A simple precipitation process followed with the heat treatment was developed to synthesize ZnO micro-tubes by self-assembly of nanoflakes composed of nanoparticles. The resulting ZnO micro-tubes demonstrated excellent photocatalytic performance in degrading methylene blue (MB) under UV illumination. It was found that NH4+ ion played a critical role in directing the assembly of the nanoflakes t...

BACKGROUND Molar bonding procedures need continuous improvement to be widely accepted clinically and eventually replace molar bands. MATERIAL AND METHODS The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of enamel micro-abrasion and silane coating of the base of molar tubes on shear and tensile bond strengths of orthodontic molar tubes. A total of 200 third molars were randomly allocated...

In an adaptation of standard technics and apparatus, aqueous homogenates from single rat lenses are introduced into capillary tubes, soluble and insoluble constituents are separated using a micro hematocrit centrifuge, and samples are frozen and stored in the capillary tubes. To allow quantitative transfer of sample aliquots from these capillaries for chemical and immunologic determinations, co...

In the process of double-layer gas-assisted extrusion plastic micro-tubes, external size and surface quality micro-tubes are greatly affected by assisting gas inlet slit inside mold. Therefore, in this experiment, a two-phase flow model was established based on compressible non-compressible melt. The Polyflow finite element solution software module used to solve velocity field, temperature pres...

Several researches dealing with the single-phase forced convection heat transfer inside micro channels have been published in the past decades. The performance of liquid flow has been proved that agree with the conventional correlations very well (Yang and Lin [2007]). However, owing to the low heat transfer coefficient of gaseous flow, it is more difficult to eliminate the effects of thermal s...

Gas flows through micro shock tubes are widely used in many engineering applications such as micro engines, particle delivery devices etc. Recently, few studies have been carried out to explore the shock wave excursions through micro shock tubes at very low Reynolds number and at rarefied gas condition. But these studies assumed centered shock and expansion waves, which are generally produced b...

The condensation heat transfer coefficient of R134a was experimentally studied inside two smooth and four micro-fin tubes. The working conditions and structural parameters of the test tubes were selected as the influencing factors, and the experiment was conducted under mass velocities of 400–1100 kg·m−2·s−1, condensation temperatures of 35–45 ◦C and water-testing Reynolds numbers of 8000–22,00...
