Abstract: In this paper, the scale effects are specifically addressed by conducting experiments with air flow in different microtubes. Three stainless steel tubes of 962, 308, and 83 خ¼m inner diameter (ID) are investigated for ...

Abstract: Experiments were conducted to investigate local heat transfer coefficients and flow characteristics of air flow in a 962 خ¼m inner diameter stainless steel microtube (minichannel). The effects of heat loss, axial heat ...

Abstract: Thermal fiber drawing has emerged as a novel process for the continuous manufacturing of semiconductor and polymer nanoparticles. Yet a scalable production of metal nanoparticles by thermal drawing is not reported due to ...

Abstract: Thermal fiber drawing process has emerged as a promising nanomanufacturing process to generate high-throughput, well aligned, and indefinitely long micro/nanostructures. However, scalable fabrication of metal–polymer ...

Abstract: It is of tremendous interest to apply laser to process nanoparticles-reinforced metals for widespread applications. However, little fundamental understanding has been obtained on the underlining physics of laser interactions ...

Abstract: It is of great scientific and technical interests to conduct fundamental studies on the laser interactions with nanoparticles-reinforced metals. This part of the study presents the effects of nanoparticles on surface tension ...
