Coating Resistance to Biofouling Inception for Freshwater Vehicles

Malm P., Krishnan G., Loth R., Steele A., Bayer I., University of Virginia, US

Preventing biofouling in natural bodies of freshwater is important for a wide variety of applications. The relationship between surface properties and antifouling has been the subject of many recent studies, with primary focus on long-term [...]

Laminar convective heat transfer of Al2O3/thermic oil nanofluid in a plain tube

Venkatachalapathy S. Suresh S., Selvakumar P., Vijay G., National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli, IN

Thermic oil based nanofluids are prepared by adding alumina nanoparticles for convective heat transfer study. Experimental study is carried out for the hydrodynamically developer laminar flow under constant heat flux condition. * Convective heat transfer [...]

Visualization of Fluidic and Reaction Dynamics in Microchannels

Kawazumi H., Muraki A., Kanno K., Maeda H., Kinki University, Kyushu, JP

An easy-to-use and low cost microreactor made of polymethylmethacrylate was mechanically fabricated with a microchannel. The laminar flow behavior was investigated by visualizing the flow of red and green aqueous solutions. Digitized color images from [...]
