Laomettachit T., Liangruksa M., National Science and Technology Development Agency, TH

The emerging of nanotechnology has increasingly gained expansions and applications in various materials science research and development. However, the exposure to nanoparticles and engineered nanomaterials can lead to adverse biological effects because the small sizes [...]

Analytic and Numerical Modeling of Glucose-fueled Enzymatic Biofuel Cell Performance

Uno S., Nakaoki Y., Isezaki Y., Ritsumeikan University, JP

Fuel cells have been drawing increasing attention due to their high efficiency and harmless gas emission. Hydrogen is the most widely used fuel, but its safe storage and transportation is one of the main issues. [...]

Theoretical modelling of nanofluids for heat transfer

Myers T.G., Centre de Recerca, ES

In this talk we will discuss two uses of nanofluids for heat transfer: for cooling purposes and for absorbing solar thermal energy. In the first case we show that a popular theoretical model, which has [...]
