The effect of gallium phosphide-thermal 55 Nanofluid on double tube heat exchangers in laminar flow
AI summary Read the abstract
This experimental study tested the thermophysical properties of gallium phosphide nanofluid in therminol 55 oil for heat transfer in double tube heat exchangers. Researchers measured thermal conductivity and viscosity at different nanofluid concentrations to identify optimal configurations for maximum heat transfer.
This study experimentally tests a combination of thermal conductivity and viscosity characteristics for maximum heat transfer using therminol 55 Nanoplastic gallium phosphide (GaP). Recent studies have shown that Nanofluids have very good properties that make them viable in many heat transfer applications compared to base fluids. Gallium phosphide therminol 55 Nanofluid is synthesised at different concentrations by the diffusion of Gallium phosphide size Nano-particles (80 nm) in therminol 55 (0.1–0.3 per cent). Thermal conductivity and viscosity can be calculated with kd2 and Fenske Viscometer, respectively, at a particular temperature range. The experimental results demonstrated by the maximal measurement of the thermal conductivity increases the concentration of volumes and the viscosity. Finally, the theoretical models for the properties of Nanofluid to well-established H–C are built and the experimental and theoretical findings are separated. For various concentrations CFD and experimental analysis are performed.

Experimental investigation of microparticle focusing in SiO2 nanofluids inside curvilinear microchannels
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers investigated how microparticles migrate within curved microchannels filled with SiO2 nanofluids, finding that shear-thickening behavior enhances particle focusing at lower flow rates while Dean drag dominates at higher velocities. These insights into particle manipulation in non-Newtonian fluids could advance future nanoplastic detection technologies by enabling high-throughput size-based separation of plastic particles from complex fluid environments.

AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers designed a nanofiber reactor that simultaneously purifies water through solar-powered evaporation and breaks down microplastics using photocatalysis. The study achieved a high evaporation rate while converting microplastic pollutants into useful chemical products, demonstrating how both processes can work together in a single device by managing heat at the nanoscale.
