In present work a experimental study based on thermosyphon is investigated using a solid nano-particles added to water as a working fluid. Tests are made on a thermosyphon. The experiment was performed in order to measure the temperature distribution and compare the heat transfer rate of the thermosyphon with the nano uid and with pure water. The tested concentration level of the nano-particles...

The influence of direct current electric fields on the possible electrokinetic delivery of nano-iron slurry in clay for the purpose of fast and effective remediation of soil contaminants has been tested. Nano-iron can be introduced to soil hydraulically in slurry form, but in tight clay soil, delivery of a uniform distribution of the slurry may be difficult to achieve for effective remediation....

in this paper the influence of two different sizes of silica particles (micro-silica and nano-silica) was studied on mechanical properties of sulfur and sulfur composite. to improve the structural properties, sulfur was plasticized using dicyclopentadiene (dcpd) and methyl styrene (mst). plasticized sulfur composite was prepared by melt blending of plasticized sulfur and silica particles. the i...

Motivation It has been recognized by many within the energetic materials community that the use of nano-sized energetic particles can lead to substantial increases in overall performance and safety of energetic materials. Nano-sized energetic particles offer the potential of high heat release rates, increased combustion efficiencies, tailored burning rates, and reduced sensitivity. In order to ...

Monodisperse bimetallic Pd-Cu nanoparticles with controllable size and composition were synthesized by a one-step multiphase ethylene glycol (EG) method. Adjusting the stoichiometric ratio of the Pd and Cu precursors afforded nanoparticles with different compositions, such as Pd(85)-Cu(15), Pd(56)-Cu(44), and Pd(39)-Cu(61). The nanoparticles were separated from the solution mixture by extractio...

the effects of adding nano-silica particles on the compressive strength and water permeability of concrete and its comparison with that of micro-silica were investigated in this work. the effect of combination of nano- silica and micro-silica were also studied in this work, which resulted in an increase in compressive strength of concrete in comparison with other concrete specimens tested in th...

gelled propellants are improved propellants that can be considered as the final extension of liquid propellants. high specific impulse, good density and safety better than that of both solid and liquid propellants are advantages of the gel propellants. they are made by addition a suitable gellant to liquid propellants. in this research, nano al particles have been used in udmh gel fuel. the gel...

Reported herein is a study on the catalytic properties of palladium for hydrodechlorination using nanoscale zero-valent iron particles. Temperature-dependent experiments and X-ray diffraction (XRD) are conducted to characterize reactions of chlorinated ethylenes with nanoscale Fe and Pd/Fe particles. XRD results suggest bimetallic structures are created as a result of Pd(II) reduction by zero-v...

The world is currently facing an energy and environmental crisis for which new technologies are needed. Development of cost-competitive materials for catalysis and hydrogen storage on-board motor vehicles is crucial to lead subsequent generations into a more sustainable and energy independent future. This thesis presents work toward the scalable synthesis of bimetallic heterostructures that can...
