the aim of this paper is to enhance thermal performance of a microchannel heat sink by using nanoencapsulated phase change material (nepcm) slurry as a cooling fluid instead of pure fluid. a threedimensional model of a circular channel using water slurry of nepcm was developed. the results show a significant reduction in the mean fluid temperature along the channel and heat sink wall temperatu...

The slurry erosion behaviour of laser clad Fe–Cr–B–Si alloy coatings was investigated at impact angles from 30u to 90u with an increment of 15u, and compared with the slurry erosion behaviour of two laser clad carbide coatings and a non-coated substrate made of AISI 4140 steel. The Fe–Cr–B–Si alloy coatings had slurry erosion resistance. Their overall slurry erosion resistance at impact angles ...

Based on a global kinetics of direct dimethyl ether (DME) synthesis process from syngas, a steady-state one-dimensional mathematical model for the bubble column slurry reactor (BCSR) has been established. It was built on the assumption of plug flow of gas phase, sedimentation-dispersion model of catalyst grains and isothermal chamber regardless of reaction heats and rates for the design of an i...

Microbial consortia isolated from aged oil-contaminated soil were used to degrade 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (15.72 mgkg(-1)) in soil and slurry phases. The three microbial consortia (bacteria, fungi and bacteria-fungi complex) could degrade polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and the highest PAH removals were found in soil and slurry inoculated with fungi (50.1% and 55.4%, respec...

In this paper, we present a review of the measurements that Dual Emission Laser Induced Fluorescence (DELIF) has allowed us to make over the last 8 years. We have been able to measure many features of the slurry film between the wafer and the pad during polishing while simultaneously measuring the frictional drag. In particular, we measured slurry mean residence time, slurry temperature, and th...

Stainless steel pipe with fine hole and long size has recently been needed for the flow line of pure gas and liquid, which is used in the field of precision machinery. Inner wall polishing of the capillary is very difficult by ordinary finishing methods. High speed slurry flow finishing method developed by authors has been proved to have excellent polishing performance, but it has been needed a...

Understanding P sorption from animal manures is essential to formulate best management practices with regard to land application of manure from the standpoint of crop production and environmental quality. Little research has focused on the construction of P sorption isotherms where the P source is manure. The objectives of this study were to: (i) develop a procedure to characterize how inorgani...

AND CONCLUSIONS Chemical Mechanical Planarization (CMP) must continuously improve to meet the stringent requirements of next generation IC device manufacturing. Precision flow control of CMP slurry is critical to achieving a repeatable planarization process, minimizing slurry waste, and reducing cost-of-ownership (CoO). Monitoring and controlling slurry large particle concentration through filt...
