The public is increasingly exposed to various engineered nanomaterials because of their mass production and wide application. Even when the biological effects of nanomaterials have been assessed, the underlying mechanisms of action in vivo are poorly understood. The present study was designed to seek a simple, effective, and oxidative stress-based biomarker system used for screening toxicity of...

We show that molecular dynamics simulations can furnish useful boundary conditions at a solid surface bounding a two-component fluid. In contrast to some previous reports, convective-diffusive flow is consistent with continuum equations down to atomic scales. However, concentration gradients can produce flow without viscous dissipation that is inconsistent with the commonly used Navier slip con...

The development of modern photovoltaic thermal systems (PV/T) is one the most important steps in application using solar energy to produce both electricity and heat. Studies have shown that a system consisting heat-collecting tank efficient system, which phase change materials (PCMs) are mixed with nanoparticles inside cooled by cooling fluid (preferably nanofluid). PCMs high capacity store for...

Using the fractal space-time theory (scale relativity theory), the dynamics of the fluid/nano-particle interface was analyzed. In the general case, the heat transfer through the interface reproduces a d.c. or an a.c. Josephson effects of thermal type, while in the linear approximation, the standard form of heat transfer is given. Consequently, a negative differential thermal conductance appears...

In this study, hydrothermal synthesis was used to prepare α-Ni(OH) 2 , which is a steady-state photocatalytic material. Furthermore, ball milling for the 1:1 loading of with nano-alumina (Al O 3 ), hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), and activated carbon (AC). The performances these four materials in degradation fracturing flowback fluid were investigated under synergistic catalytic effect ozone. r...
