In this paper, overall heat transfer coefficient and friction factor of water based γ-Al2O3 nanofluid in a double tube counter flow heat exchanger have been measured experimentally under turbulent flow condition. For better dispersion of γ-Al2O3 nanoparticles in distilled water, magnetic stirrer and ultrasonic vibrator (with a power of 240 kW and frequency of 35 kHz) were implemented. The stabi...

The aim of this research is the determining strategy of technology transfer in the upstream oil industry (oil fields development) of the Islamic Republic of Iran with the use of effective conditional models of technology transfer. In this study, the views and attitudes of 30 managers and experts familiar with the issues of technology transfer, including transfer of technology in the development...

From a regression analysis perspective, this paper focused on literature about TiO2 nano particles. The particles on focus entailed those that had been suspended in ethylene glycol and water – at a ratio of 60:40. Indeed, regression analysis has gained application in contexts such as the turbulent Reynolds number, especially with the aim of establishing the impact of the ratio of the...

A square splittered and unsplittered rod is placed in a turbulent boundary layer developed over a flat plate. The effect of the resulting disturbances on the local heat transfer coefficient is then studied. In both cases the square rod modifies the flow structure inside the boundary layer. As a result, a stagnation point, a jet and wake area are generated around the square rod, each making a co...

Extended surfaces are one of the most important approaches to increase the heat transfer rate. According to the Fourier law, the heat transfer increases by increasing the contact surface of body and fluid. In this study, the effect of heat transfer has been investigated on two sets of engineered porous fins, in which the balls with different materials are sintered together. The fluid flow throu...

Basic understanding of the process of coolant heat transfer inside an engine is an indispensable prerequisite to devise an infallible cooling strategy. Coolant flow and its heat transfer affect the cooling efficiency, thermal load of heated components, and thermal efficiency of a diesel engine. An efficient approach to studying cooling system for diesel engine is a 3D computational fluid dynami...

background: successful embryo transfer (et) technique is a fateful step of all efforts to achieve live births from in vitro produced embryos in assisted reproductive techniques or in knockout, transgenic or cloned animal projects. small reproductive tract of mice and limitation of current techniques may not well satisfy the requirements for mass production of genetically modified mice. genetic ...

background: respiratory syncytical virus infection is the most common cause of bronchiolitis and viral pneumonia in infancy. objective: to investigate the placental transfer of rsv-specific igg in iranian mothers. methods: the antibodies were measured in sera of 146 mother/newborn pairs using a commercially available indirect enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (elisa). the studied subjects were ...

In today's competitive market, technology transfer is an important problem for firms, organizations and governments. Therefore, making right decisions on selecting a suitable technology and designing an appropriate process to transfer it may have significant influence on the performance of organizations. In this paper, we present a new method to obtain a suitable technology transfer strategy fo...
