the angle of repose of soil particles is an important factor for determining critical shear stress for initiation of soil particles motion during the erosion process. there are different methods for measuring the angle of particle repose and the result of each method is somewhat different from those of the others. sliding and fixed-base piling methods are the two most common methods in the lite...

The present paper discusses the various effects of parameters like particle volume fraction, particle material, particle size, particle shape, particle material and base fluid, temperature, effect of acidity(PH) on thermal conductivity of nanofluids. And also discusses the different mechanisms of heat transfer enhancement like improvement in the thermal conductivity, effect of Brownian motion, ...

We consider the general problem of laser pulse heating of spherical metal particles with the sizes ranging from nanometers to millimeters. We employ the exact Mie solution of the diffraction problem and solve the heat-transfer equation to determine the maximum temperature rise at the particle surface as a function of optical and thermometric parameters of the problem. Primary attention is paid ...

nanoparticles of coordination polymer [co2(pydc)2(h2o)6]n.2n h2o [h2pydc = pyridine-2,5-dicarboxylic acid] have been synthesized by sonochemical method and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, powder x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, dls particle size analysis and tga/dta. the structure of single crystalline coordination polymer developed from nanosized coo...

Nanocrystals of tadalafil, a poorly water-soluble drug, were successfully prepared by sonoprecipitation technique for improving the solubility and dissolution rate. Tween80 was selected as an efficient surfactant to inhibit aggregation in stabilization of drug nanocrystals. Response surface methodology based on central composite design (CCD) was utilized to evaluate the formulation factors affe...

The study describes the synthesis and characterization of zinc(II) minoxidil nanocomposite (1). The reaction between zinc(II) acetate, minoxidil, {C9H15N5O=minoxidil=(2,4-diamino-6-piperidine-1-yl) pyrimidine N-oxide)} as a ligand and KI as bridging agent, in methanol at 60°C leads to the formation of nano-sized Zn(II) minoxidil nanocomposite, 1. Characterization of (1) was carried out by eleme...

b a ckground: the management of internal mammary (im) nodes in breast cancer lacks a well-defined consensus. lymphoscintigraphy identifies up to one-third of breast cancer patients with extra-axillary drainage, which is mainly located in the im chain. our aim in this meta-analysis is to identify the lymphoscintigraphy technique variables that effect im node identification. m ethods: an internet...

In this study, the effect of some processing parameters on bulk density, particle density, particle size and some of powder reconstruction properties such as dispersibility, Wettability and water solubility index of spray dried barberry (Berberis vulgaris) juice powders were investigated. A Pilot Spray Dryer (Two- Flow nozzle, counter- current, one cyclone) was employed for the spray d...
