evaluation of mechanical and electrical properties of agricultural products plays an important role in equipment design and optimizing post-harvest operations. among the crops, tomato and its products are the major processing industries in the world and its economic importance is increasing. considering the importance of the quality and various post harvesting uses of tomato, the evaluation of ...

the term nanofluids was first coined by sir stephen choi in 1995 at argonne national laboratory ,u.s.a .since the discovery, nanofluid have been explored as heat transfer fluids. nanofluids increased the thermal conductivity of existing coolants (water, ethylene glycol) by a magnitude of hundred times which made them attractive for miniaturization of electronic devices .from 1995 till 2008 nano...

Effect of clamping pressure on electrical resistance between Gas diffusion layer (GDL) and bipolar plate is a very important parameter in Proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells. For investigation of this matter some researches have been done in these years. But there is not an experimental investigation of clamping pressure effect on PEM electrical resistance. In this paper, some experimenta...

The application of conductive coatings on ferritic stainless steel can decrease electrical conductivity. Theaim of this research was to investigate the electrical conductivity of cobalt coated AISI 430 ferritic stainlesssteel by pack cementation technique. Coated coupons were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy(SEM). Electrical conductivity of the coated substrates was measured as a fun...

introduction: there is many ways to assessing the electrical conductivity anisotropy of a tumor. applying the values of tissue electrical conductivity anisotropy is crucial in numerical modeling of the electric and thermal field distribution in electroporation treatments. this study aims to calculate the tissues electrical conductivity anisotropy in patients with sarcoma tumors using diffusion ...

introduction: it is believed that injury potential has a regulatory role in wound healing process and the application of exogenous electrical stimulation may serve to mimic the natural endogenous bioelectric current so that can improve the wound healing. up to now, this hypothesis has not been researched in surgically acute wounds. materials and methods: thirty nine male guinea pigs were random...

to investigate the electromagnetic interaction of molecules inside the nanotubes, first, the structure of nanotubes b16n16 was optimized with hybrid density functional theory (b3lyp) using the epr-ii basis set, then cu, cu+, cu++ were located in nanotube and we studied the total energy, band gap energy, electrical potential, changes of band gap energy in terms of total energy and dipole moment ...

isolated carbon nanotubes (cnts), cnt films and cnt-polymer nanocomposites are a new generation of materials with outstanding mechanical, thermal, electrical and electromagnetic properties. the main objective of this article is to provide a comprehensive review on the investigations performed in the field of characterizing electrical and electromagnetic properties of isolated cnts and cnt-reinf...
