MIXED CONVECTION FROM A DISCRETE HEAT SOURCE IN ENCLOSURES WITH TWO ADJACENT MOVING WALLS AND FILLED WITH MICROPOLAR NANOFLUIDS

Mixed convection from a discrete heat source in enclosures with two adjacent moving walls and filled with micropolar nanofluids

This paper examines numerically the thermal and flow field characteristics of the laminar steady mixed convection flow in a square lid-driven enclosure filled with water-based micropolar nanofluids by using the finite volume method.While a uniform heat source is located on a part of the bottom of the enclosure, both the right and left sidewalls are

Unwinding of a carbon nanoscroll due to high speed rotation

A carbon nanoscroll (CNS) can be formed easily by rolling a graphene sheet around a carbon nanotube (CNT) [Zhang and Li, 2010, APL, 97, 081909].When the CNS is driven by the rotary CNT to rotate at a high speed, the attractive interaction within the the gel bottle audrey CNS or between the CNS and CNT is crippled by the centrifugal force on the CNS

Sustainable Power Plant Planning Using Pinch Analysis Approach

Growing economic and population expansion has posed great stress in power plant planning as energy consumption is increased every year.Power plant expansion or new power plant construction require years of planning before implementation.Together with the aid of energy storage (ES) for improving power plant capacity factor, this sten jacket m work a
