Effect of Dispersion Homogeneity on Specific Heat Capacity Enhancement of Molten Salt Nanomaterials Using Carbon Nanotubes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The specific heat capacity of a carbonate salt eutecticbased carbon nanotube nanomaterial was measured in present study. Differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) was used to measure the specific heat capacity of the ...
Enhanced Specific Heat Capacity of Molten Salt Based Carbon Nanotubes Nanomaterials
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study aims to investigate the specific heat capacity of a carbonate salt eutecticbased multiwalled carbon nanomaterial (or high temperature nanofluids). The specific heat capacity of the nanomaterials was measured ...
Enhanced Specific Heat Capacity of Nanomaterials Synthesized by Dispersing Silica Nanoparticles in Eutectic Mixtures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Anomalous enhancements in the specific heat capacity values of nanomaterials were measured in this study. Silica nanoparticles (∼2–20 nm) were dispersed into eutectic of lithium carbonate and potassium carbonate (62:38 ...
Thermal Cycling of Calcium Chloride Hexahydrate With Strontium Chloride as a Phase Change Material for Latent Heat Thermal Energy Storage Applications in a Nondifferential Scanning Calorimeter Set-Up
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Calcium chloride hexahydrate (CaCl2·6H2O) is an attractive candidate as a phase change material for supplemental cooling in air-cooled thermal power-plant since it has a low-phase transition temperature of 29.3 °C and a ...
Developing a Computational Model of Lungs for Patients With Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a condition secondary to direct or indirect insult to lungs, leading to acute respiratory failure, and is associated with high mortality. Majority of the ARDS patients require ...

Experimental Investigation of the Performance of a Novel Adiabatic Swirl-Flow Separation Apparatus in Air–Water Two-Phase Flow
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Experiments were performed for determining the efficacy of a swirl-flow apparatus for phase separation of a premixed two-phase air–water mixture. In the experiments gas and liquid flow rates were parametrically varied. The ...
Experimental Validation of Analytical Predictions for the “Deviant” Density of Oleo-Nanofluids Based on the nanoFin Effect
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Experimental validation of the analytical predictions for the “deviant” density enhancement of nanofluids is presented in this study. Experimental measurements of density were complemented by transmission electron microscopy ...
Design, Fabrication, and Testing of a Novel Thermally Actuated Tesla Valve: A Hybrid Microvalve1
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A novel thermally actuated hybrid microvalve (similar to a Tesla valve configuration) was designed, fabricated, assembled, and tested using soft lithography-based approaches. The modified design integrates the “normally ...
