Both phenomena occur when external excitation is performed on EuD4TEA crystals. Photoluminescence is excited by external light radiation, whereas mechanoluminescence is stimulated by an external mechanical force applied to it. EuD4TEA has easily been prepared only by standard crystallisation using dibenzoylmethane, europium nitrate hexahydrate, and triethylamine. This research mainly focused on the solvent for the synthesis of EuD4TEA crystals. The solvents used were ethanol and acetone. Acetone has the main credit for producing much higher-quality EuD4TEA crystals in certain aspects. Acetone-based end products are larger and have higher light emission under excitation.","PeriodicalId":37460,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Research in Fluid Mechanics and Thermal Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140794973","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}

Effective pollution management and decision-making require an understanding of the intricate dynamics of water contamination in our environment. There are many workable measures that can be adopted to control the menace. Mathematically, water pollution can be modelled using differential equations through management. In order to describe the pollution of water bodies using a system of differential equations. We deployed compartment models to capture the dynamic of pollution in lakes, rivers, and other water bodies. The model compartmentalizes various forms of water pollution and combines them with purification measures. With this strategy, we showed how water pollutants behave in diverse environmental contexts by providing useful knowledge for putting pollution management measures into practice by solving the compartmental model using the Euler method and the Runge-Kutta of Order 4 numerical method (RK4). The quality of results obtained by applying the two mentioned numerical methods is queried based on how they respond to different values of step size (h), which represents the interval at which the numerical methods approximate the solution trajectory. Our findings demonstrate that both numerical approaches are viable for solving compartmental equations by computing compartment values over a specified time interval. Despite the practicability of both methods, it is noteworthy that Runge-Kutta of order 4 consistently emerges as the more effective numerical method in solving our compartmental model when compared with Euler formula, particularly when step sizes are moderately large. The Runge-Kutta method's robustness and efficiency in accurately approximating solutions over the specified time range make us conclude that it is more preferable to the Euler method for practical implementations of compartmental models with moderately large time steps.","PeriodicalId":37460,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Research in Fluid Mechanics and Thermal Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140382534","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}

A novel class of solvent has been effectively employed in absorption technology in recent decades to eliminate CO2. The process of employing nanofluids to enhance CO2 uptake is receiving a lot of attention. However, other studies are needed to enhance the nanofluid absorption rate. The purpose of this study was to use nanofluid (based on amines) to optimize the absorption process for CO2 from flue gas. The technique was designed to extract CO2 from exhaust gas. This paper discusses the removal of CO2 from flue gas and parameter adjustments that increase overall removal efficiency. The nanoparticle concentration, stirring speed, and nanoparticle size were all varied during the tests. The experimental design using Taguchi method was applied to determine the optimal conditions of nanofluid for the process of absorption. Taguchi experimental design to investigate the perfect setting for the highest possible rate of CO2 absorption. The best settings were found to be a nanoparticle beginning concentration of 0.01 vol%, a stirrer speed of 4 rpm, and a nano size of 60 nm, according to the results of multiple regression and signal to noise ratio (S/N). Additionally, the analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to determine the relative significance of each factor. The results show that the proportion of contributions were as follows: mixing speed (rpm) 46.56%, nano concentration (vol.%) 4.33%, and nano size (nm) 43.18%. The most useful parameter was the mixing speed (rpm). The experimental and anticipated values agreed well with regression analysis (R2=97.26%), and the findings of the confirmation test demonstrated that the CO2 absorption rate was 0.0029 g/s; a success that is highly advantageous for industrial uses.","PeriodicalId":37460,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Research in Fluid Mechanics and Thermal Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140384064","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}

Careful design of GAHE enables efficient exploit of the earth interior energy. The design of a GAHE relies on the constant temperature of the earth interior which allows consistent and reliable source of geothermal energy. By harnessing this renewable energy, a sustainable solution for heating and cooling needs is attained while minimizing the impact on environment. In this study, the performance of GAHE was examined using ANSYS Fluent 19 R1 and SOLID WORK 16.0 software. The efficiency and Coefficient of Performance (COP) of the ETHE have been investigated. The effect of air flow rate and operation conditions on the outlet air temperature have been studied. GAHE is made of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) pipe of 0.1 m diameter, 0.005 m thickness and 18 m horizontal length. Computer simulations were carried out for five different air velocities (1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 m/s) at various operation conditions. Results show that the 18 m pipe length is adequate to attain useful air outlet temperature giving COP values between 0.5 and 1.3. The length of the horizontal part of GAHE can be further increased for air velocities between 3 and 5 m/s. Comparison between the results obtained by the CFD model and experimental work demonstrated that the CFD model is capable of producing results with acceptable accuracy. This suggests that the CFD software can accurately model the performance of the GAHE under different operation conditions. Increasing the length of the horizontal part of the GAHE can improve its COP when higher air velocities are used.","PeriodicalId":37460,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Research in Fluid Mechanics and Thermal Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140383050","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}

The kapok web was prepared using the Ashford drum carder. Test samples were subjected to heat treatment in a hydraulic hot-press under three different temperatures (160, 170, and 180°C), heating durations (5, 7.5, and 10 min), and pressures (500, 750, and 1000 psi). This study was conducted to clarify the tensile properties of kapok fabrics under optimal hot-press-forming process parameters such as temperature, heating time, and pressure; here, the Taguchi L27 orthogonal array experimental design was adopted for the optimization. The surface morphologies and tensile properties of kapok fabrics were investigated. The optimum combination of process factors was obtained through signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio analysis. Furthermore, analysis of variance was employed to determine the importance of the process parameter levels. Moreover, regression analysis was adopted to mathematically model the metamorphism of tensile properties with process parameters. A set of confirmation tests was also conducted, and the results verified the presented models. This study results showed that all three processing factors had significant influences on the tensile strength of the carded nonwoven kapok.

The thermal conditions consist of a constant heat flux at the lower surface and a convective boundary condition at the upper surface, encompassing fixed temperature and uniform heat flux cases. The application of the Galerkin technique to the resulting eigenvalue problem reveals that the stability region expands as the porous parameter, Biot number, MFD viscosity parameter and magnetic susceptibility increase in magnitude.

Dimple depth to print diameter ratio is 0.3, which is maintained constant. Two different types of arch turbulators are tested in the first half of the dimple to improve the fluid velocities and heat transfer. The turbulators used in the investigations are both curved and straight type. Curved arch turbulators included angles are 45°, 60°, or 90°, whereas straight arch turbulators are inclined to the surface at a 12° angle. At the dimple's leading edge, an arch turbulator is installed.

A vertically installed transverse magnetic field is assumed to have a modest Reynolds number. The controlling partial differential equations are transformed into nonlinear ordinary differential equations using appropriate similarity transformations. These equations are then numerically solved using the Matlab bvp4c module. This study aims to analyze the impact of many factors, including the Hall current factor, the thermal radiation factor, the heat source/sink factor, the Brownian motion factor, the thermophoresis parameter, and the magnetization, on the velocity, concentration, and temperature. To do this, graphical representations will be used as a means of visualizing and discussing the impacts, as mentioned earlier. To get a deeper understanding of the internal dynamics of the emerging parameters, a numerical computation is conducted to determine the local Nusselt number, Sherwood number, and skin friction coefficient along the x and z axes.
