This article reports on the International Nanofluid Property Benchmark Exercise, or INPBE, in which thermal conductivity of identical samples colloidally stable dispersions nanoparticles “nanofluids,” was measured by over 30 organizations worldwide, using a variety experimental approaches, including transient hot wire method, steady-state methods, and optical methods. The nanofluids tested exercise were comprised aqueous nonaqueous basefluids, metal oxide particles, near-spherical elongated...
In recent years many experimentalists have reported an anomalously enhanced thermal conductivity in liquid suspensions of nanoparticles. Despite the importance this effect for heat transfer applications, no agreement has emerged about mechanism phenomenon, or even experimentally observed magnitude enhancement. To address these issues, paper presents a combined experimental and theoretical study conduction particle agglomeration nanofluids. On side, nanofluids alumina particles water ethylene...
We present a quantitative bibliometric study of flow battery technology from the first zinc-bromine cells in 1870’s to megawatt vanadium RFB installations 2020’s. emphasize, that cost advantage RFBs multi-hour charge-discharge cycles is compromised by an inferior energy efficiency these systems, and there are limits on improvement due internal cross-over power (at low current densities) acceptable pressure drop high densities). Differences between lithium-ion redox batteries (VRFBs)...
We show that granular media, consisting of metallic microparticles immersed in a poorly conducting liquid strong dc electric field, self-assemble into rich variety novel phases. These phases include static precipitates: honeycombs and Wigner crystals; dynamic condensates: toroidal vortices pulsating rings. The observed structures are explained by the interplay between charged gas electrohydrodynamic convective flows liquid.
Abstract A concept of high energy density (ED) hydrogen–bromate flow battery was supported by experiments with cells 0.1 to 50 cm 2 apparent areas. H /NaBrO 3 gas diffusion anode, proton exchange membrane (PEM), and carbonaceous flow‐by or flow‐through cathodes were employed. Estimates show that the theoretical ED /bromate (HBFB) exceeds /O fuel (FC) in air‐deficient environments. At cathode HBFB, aqueous, concentrated bromate (non‐toxic, stable) is reduced bromide a six‐electron process....

Based weak intensity second order adlattice reflections obtained other techniques, a further refinement with tilted CO molecules proposed. hystereses observed transitions between phases, as well adsorption...
Impurity effects associated with an increase in the rate of mass transport induced by a decrease size electrodes have been examined emphasis on species capable undergoing irreversible adsorption. Calculations show that for hemispherical ultramicroelectrodes radius, flux solution-phase contaminant, such as small organic molecule, present at ppb levels, is large enough to reach saturation coverage over times order seconds. In case dioxygen reduction Pt aqueous electrolytes, adsorbed are...

The transient response of a series RC equivalent circuit to staircase potential perturbation, where R represents the resistance due electrolyte and C voltage dependent interfacial capacitance, has been examined theoretically using, as model system, capacitance data believed be characteristic interface. Solutions governing algebraic differential equation were obtained by numerical techniques, which then used generate current versus curves assuming various sampling protocols. In general,...
