چکیده

We consider the sedimentation of high aspect ratio fibers in a Newtonian fluid under Stokes’ flow conditions. Measurements of the mean sedimentation velocity, variance of the sedimentation velocity, and the orientation distribution are presented using a modification of the novel experimental technique described by Nicolai et al. [Phys. Fluids 7, 12 (1995)]. We find a steady state where the fibers “clump" together and tend to align in the direction of gravity with occasional “flipping." [S0031-9007(96)00601-1]

Experimental investigation of the strength of glass fiber-reinforced concrete exposed to high temperature

This study investigated the effects of high temperature exposure on the compressive, tensile, and flexural strengths of concrete containing glass fiber. A total of 108 cubic specimens (150 mm × 150 mm × 150 mm), cylindrical specimens (300 mm × 150 mm), and prismatic specimens (500 mm × 150 mm × 150 mm) were prepared for compressive, tensile, and flexural strength testing, respectively. The spec...

Dispersion Properties of Nano YSZ Particles in Aqueous Suspensions

In the present research, the aqueous suspensions of nano-sized YSZ particles were prepared using a common and available dispersant (Dolapix CE64) at different pH values and their stability were evaluated through the sedimentation height, viscosity measurement, and microstructural observation. Different amounts of dispersant were tested and the optimum percentage was examined by measuring the vi...

Active colloidal suspensions exhibit polar order under gravity.

Recently, the steady sedimentation profile of a dilute suspension of chemically powered colloids was studied experimentally [J. Palacci et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 105, 088304 (2010)]. It was found that the sedimentation length increases quadratically with the swimming speed of the active Brownian particles. Here we investigate theoretically the sedimentation of self-propelled particles undergoing...

بررسی توانایی جلبک salina Dunaliellaسویه Utex-200 در زدایش آلومینیوم از محیط

The effect of concentrations 0(control), 250, 500, 1000, 2000 and 4000 µM of aluminum on the growth rate and content total chlorophyll of Dunaliella salina strain UTEX-200 has been studied for duration of 27 days. The results indicated that an increase in aluminum concentration resulted in a decrease in the growth rate and chlorophyll content. It seems that these effects are probably due to des...
