In this paper, we report experimental results on the evaporation of ethanol in capillary tubes of different internal cross-sections as the bulk meniscus recedes inside the tube, since the chosen conditions allow for the development of a liquid film along tube's internal corners due to the presence of capillary forces. To achieve our aims, we used 3D video microscopy to monitor the behavior of the meniscus during evaporation and, also, calculated the capillary pressures for three channels with different cross-sectional shapes each, namely circular, square and equilateral triangle cross-sections, for three solid–liquid contact angles, i.e., 30°, 60°, and 90°. At the same time, we have combined infrared thermal imaging technology with particle imaging velocimetry (PIV) visualization technology to analyze the severe Marangoni convection at the included angle. To this end, the interfacial temperature distribution of Marangoni convection was measured by means of an infrared camera and the flow pattern by means of PIV, respectively, through the plane in various views. For capillary tubes with included angle, the temperature gradient at the meniscus reaches its maximum at the included angle. Moreover, both temperature and convective gradients exist in the liquid film with included angle. When the angle of the capillary tube is smaller, the capillary effect will increase, leading to the formation of a thicker film. Our investigation constitutes an \"extreme\" experiment of Marangoni flow at the corners of the capillary tube. Due to the capillary forces, liquid films can rise in the corners of polygonal tubes up to the entrance of the tubes. Furthermore, the wetting force of ethanol at the angle of the triangle tube is much larger than that in the case of the square tube. Finally, the Marangoni vortex flows from the relatively high-temperature region in the center of the liquid towards the included angle, where evaporation is faster and the recharge of material and energy is more concentrated. We anticipate that our study sheds light into the meniscus shape and Marangoni flow in capillary tubes of with cross-sections of different shapes, which is of fundamental importance for various applications and in particular microfluidic systems.","PeriodicalId":301303,"journal":{"name":"The European Physical Journal Applied Physics","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126909184","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These applications are usually in an environment of abundant low frequency vibration, which can be collected through an appropriate energy conversion structure. However, traditional energy conversion architectures such as cantilever-cantilever type or spring-mass type have the problem of high working frequency and narrow bandwidth (limiting its use and far from the frequency found in the surrounding environment). To overcome these challenges, this work proposes a study of a piezoelectric vibration energy harvester based on a dual cantilever structure. The energy harvesting system is designed, analyzed and verified with the finite element analysis method and an experimental study. The results show that the bandwidth is enlarged of 30 Hz and a power is generated and equals to the sum of the power generated by each cantilever (190 nW) with an output voltage supplying a resistive load of 110 KΏ.","PeriodicalId":301303,"journal":{"name":"The European Physical Journal Applied Physics","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129016978","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Programs have been developed with volume concentrations from 0% to 4% and from 0% to 10% with constant temperature and nanoparticles diameter. The results show that all thermophysical properties characterizing the heat transfer are more important in a hybrid nanofluid compared to the simple nanofluid, such us for a nanoparticle volume fraction of 3%, the thermal conductivity and thermal capacity increased by 32% and 0.23% respectively, for a volume fraction range of 0 to 10%, while they show an increase of 12% and 0.22% respectively, for a range of 0 to 4%.

Polarization measurements revealed mixed-type inhibitor behavior. The inhibitory efficacy assessed by both polarization and (EIS) techniques was consistent, with an IE value of (96.0 %) and (95.5 %) at 2g/L of RNVLE, respectively. The RNVLE adsorption on the C38 metal surfaces in 1M HCl follows the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The calculated free energy (G°ads equal to -16.1 KJ mol-1) explained that RNVLE controls the corrosion process by physisorption. The effect of immersion time was also investigated. This study demonstrated that RNVLE can be considered an excellent inhibitor up to 6 hours and after this time; it is considered a lower quality inhibitor although it still has sufficient inhibitory ability. SEM-EDX (Scanning Electron Microscopy and X-ray Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy) analysis revealed that the extract molecules adsorb on the metal's surface. These findings indicate that RNVLE can be used as an effective corrosion inhibitor for C38 steel in 1M HCl solution.","PeriodicalId":301303,"journal":{"name":"The European Physical Journal Applied Physics","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122419888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although the perovskite structure remained in samples with low content of TiO2, the secondary phase Ba2Ti5.5O13 appeared in samples with high TiO2 content. According to SEM results, the addition of TiO2 resulted in a significant decrease in the average grain size. Wtih the addition of TiO2, the phase transition temperature, corresponding to Curie temperature (Tc) of BCZT ceramics shifts to lower temperature. Compared with the pure BCZT ceramic, the higher impedance and slimmer hysteresis loops were realized in ceramics with high TiO2 content. The relatively large energy storage density (Wrec ~0.52 J/cm3) together with energy storage efficiency (η ~74.84%) were achieved in ceramic with 40% TiO2 content. When the contentration of TiO2 further increases, the energy storage efficiency increased, but the energy storage density declined.

Piezoelectric polymer-PZT films are encouraging materials for modern applications. PLA/PZT composites have been elaborated with diverse content of PZT employing a solvent casting technique. The mechanical characteristics and dielectric properties of the considered films were investigated. X-ray Diffraction (XRD). Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) were used to examine the influence of these fillers at the molecular level, crystal structural change, micro charges dispersion inside the polymer matrix, and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) was used to examine the stability and thermal degradation of the films. The change in these properties as a function of content (0.1–1 wt. %) of PZT has also been investigated. It is found that the PZT incorporation induces a considerable influence on the transformation of the α→β phase.
