For better understanding the effect of nanofluid flow in a porous medium, a set of experiments were conducted on a horizontal glass micromodel for Al2O3-water nanofluids. To characterize the flow of nanofluids the same experiment was done by pure water. The glass micromodel was constructed by a photolithography techniqu...

We report the detection of crystalline water ice on the surface of 2003 EL61. Reflectance spectra were collected from Gemini North telescope from 1.0 to 2.4 μm wavelength range, and from the Keck telescope across the 1.4 to 2.4 μm wavelength range. The signature of crystalline water ice is obvious in all data collected. Like the surfaces of many outer solar system bodies, the surface of 2003 EL...

We report the detection of crystalline water ice on the surface of 2003 EL61. Reflectance spectra were collected from the Gemini North telescope in the 1.0 to 2.4 mwavelength range and from the Keck telescope across the 1.4Y 2.4 mwavelength range. The signature of crystalline water ice is obvious in all data collected. Like the surfaces of many outer solar system bodies, the surface of 2003 EL6...

The hydration structure in aqueous solutions of three tetraalkylammonium halides (TAAX), tetramethylammonium chloride (TMACl), tetrapropylammonium bromide (TPABr), and tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBABr) at concentrations of 2.2, 1.4, and 1.0 m, respectively, is studied via molecular dynamics (MD) simulation at ambient conditions. The results are compared directly with neutron diffraction with i...

The synthesis of a water soluble [2]rotaxane is reported using hydrophilic secondary rim functionalised permethylated β-cyclodextrin derivatives as the axle stopper groups. The rotaxane recognises halide anions in pure water with impressive selectivity over sulfate.

Some properties and functions of water treated under magnetic field were examined. No change in properties of pure water distilled from ultrapure water in vacuum was observed by magnetic treatment. However, when the same magnetic treatment was carried out after the distilled water was exposed to O2, water properties such as vibration modes and electrolytic potential were changed. The degree of ...
