Heat transfer analysis of nanofluid flow in a channel with non-parallel walls
H. Berrehal,G. Sowmya 대한기계학회 2021 JOURNAL OF MECHANICAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Vol.35 No.1
The aim of the current investigation is to explore the heat transfer of nanofluid flow in a channel with non-parallel walls. Two different nanoparticles, namely, Cu and Ag, with water as the base fluid are considered. The equations governing the flow are obtained using an appropriate similarity transform and solved analytically with the optimal homotopy asymptotic method (OHAM). Here, OHAM was first used to solve the problem to ensure a much more rapid convergence of the solution only after one iteration, with high efficiency. Comparative analysis was carried out to ensure the authenticity of the results. The effects of the involved parameters on fluid velocity, temperature, skin friction coefficient, and Nusselt number are presented in graphical and tabular forms with comprehensive discussions in this paper.
Interaction of VOCs with pyrene tetratopic ligands layered on ZnO nanorods under visible light
Sivalingam, Y.,Elumalai, P.,Yuvaraj, S.V.J.,Magna, G.,Sowmya, V.J.,Paolesse, R.,Chi, K.W.,Kawazoe, Y.,Di Natale, C. Elsevier Sequoia 2016 Journal of photochemistry and photobiology Chemist Vol.324 No.-
<P>In this work, the relationship between photosensitivity and chemical sensitivity of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods coated with pyrene based tetratopic ligands (PTL) is investigated under visible light. The electrical resistance of ZnO-PTL is affected by adsorption of different volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as ethanol, n-hexane, trimethylamine, and triethylamine. The illumination strongly affects the response to the VOCs. To elucidate the interaction mechanism between PTL and VOCs, the experimental studies have been complemented by first principles calculations. Both experimental and computational results have shown that the amines are bound to PTL with higher affinity followed by ethanol (alcohol) and n-hexane (alkane). Our results have proved that the COOH functional group at the peripheral site of PTL is not only used for anchoring the molecule onto the ZnO, but it is also the main adsorption site for the VOCs, in particular for amines. In practice, the photo-optical properties of pyrene molecules are complemented by the high affinity of COOH group for amines in order to achieve a photo-activated sensor. The complementary use of optical dyes and chemical ligands can provide an innovative methodology for chemical sensors design. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.</P>
