Enhanced Performance Coolants (EPC) Benchtop and Simulated Service Test Report
Abstract: As of 2022, U.S. Army engine coolant is governed by Commercial Item Description (CID) A-A-52624A, which mandates the use of antiquated conventional, supplemental coolant additive (SCA)...
Stability and thermo-physical properties of green bio-glycol based TiO₂-SiO₂ nanofluids
The investigation on thermal properties of nanoparticles dispersed in the mixture of water and green Bio-glycol are limited in the literature and only available for single nanofluids. The purpose of...
Turbulent transition in Rayleigh-Bénard convection with Fluorocarbon
We present measurements of the heat-transfer and the velocity field in two Rayleigh-Bénard cells (aspect ratios 1 and 2). We use Fluorinert FC770 as the working fluid, up to a Rayleigh number 2 ×...
Efficient degradation of tetracycline by RGO@black titanium dioxide nanofluid via enhanced catalysis and photothermal conversion
The applications of photocatalytic pollutant degradation have remained limited due to the low efficiency of solar energy utilization. In this study, a photothermal catalyst consisting of reduced...
Adsorption of Cu (II)and Co (II) from aqueous solution using lignosulfonate/chitosan adsorbent
In practical application, the adsorption capacity, adsorption kinetics, recycling and production cost of adsorbent affect the application of adsorbent. In this study, porous lignosulfonate/chitosan...
