In the age of technology, it is vital to cool down different parts of a device to use it more beneficially. Using nanofluids is one of the most common methods which has shown very effective results. In this paper, we have rephrased a classic equation in fluid mechanics, i.e. the Falkner-Skan boundary layer equation, in order to be used for nanofluid. This nonlinear equation, which was presented...

in the present study a quasi 2-d numerical model is developed for calculating air concentration distribution in rapid flows. the model solves air continuity equation (convection diffusion equation) in the whole flow domain. this solution is then coupled with calculations of the free surface in which air content in the flow is also considered. to verify the model, its results are compared with a...

this paper presents simplified hydrodynamics model for a biomimetic robot fish based on quantitative morphological and kinematic parameters of crangiform fish. the motion of four pangasius sanitwongsei with different length and swimming speed were recorded by the digital particle image velocimetry (dpiv) and image processing methods and optimal coefficients of the motion equations and appropria...

platinum extraction from different secondary sources has been experimentally tested by many researchers. in this article, dissolution of platinum in aqua-regia solution from two types of spent catalysts (reforming and nitric acid production) was kinetically studied. a variety of kinetic models for heterogeneous solid-liquid reactions, including homogeneous diffusion model, shrinking core model,...

an analytical equation of state is applied to calculate the thermodynamic properties for argon. theequation of state is that of song and mason. it is based on a statistical-mechanical perturbation theory ofhard convex bodies and can be written as fifth-order polynomial in the density. there exist three temperaturedependentparameters: the second virial coefficient, an effective molecular volume,...

Abstract: This paper proposes a new analysis method for photovoltaic (PV) modules. The main objectives are to obtain the resistance parameters of PV modules by adjusting I-V equation and voltage equation of diode and to find the relationship between resistance parameters and power. Firstly, values of serial resistance and parallel resistance at maximum power point are concluded. Secondly, the c...

In this work we have used a closed system model to derive an analytical equation for the osmotic pressure of two component electrolyte and non-electrolyte solutions. In order to do so, we have used an equation of state, known as the dense system equation of state (DSEOS), for the model system. Based on the model, a new definition is given for the osmotic pressure of a closed system. Good ag...

In this paper, the dynamic simulation for a high pressure regulator is performed to obtain the regulator behavior. To analyze the regulator performance, the equation of motion for inner parts, the continuity equation for diverse chambers and the equation for mass flow rate were derived. Because of nonlinearity and coupling, these equations are solved using numerical methods and the results are ...
