However, stability analysis of nanofluids is very critical before its application in heat transfer .The present paper reports about an investigation on the stability of water-based Al2O3 and TiO2 nanofluids at ambient temperature. Nanoparticles, namely Al2O3 and TiO2 at different concentrations of 1, 0.5, 0.1, 0.05, and 0.01 wt.% respectively were directly dispersed in water without adding any dispersant and placed in a static container to observe gravitation settling. Change of sedimentation height with respect to time was measured using the sedimentation photograph capturing method. DLS (Dynamic Light Scattering) and zeta potential analysis were also executed to examine the stability of nanofluids. The results show that the visualization method, DLS and zeta potential analysis are in good correspondence to each other. Sedimentation velocity increases with an increase in nanoparticle concentration and aging. Brownian motion of nanoparticles resist the sedimentation in nanofluids. It is observed that TiO2nanofluid is more stable as compared to Al2O3 nanofluid due to its smaller particle size. Finally authors recommend smaller particle size, optimized sonication time, low nanoparticle concentration and use of surfactant to obtain better dispersion stability of nanofluids","PeriodicalId":44789,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part N-Journal of Nanomaterials Nanoengineering and Nanosystems","volume":"118 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77437314","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 Al-Al2O3 composite nanostructure is considered an Aluminum nanowire reinforced by spherical Al2O3 particles. The structure tensile test is simulated via molecular dynamics simulation using LAMMPS. The mechanical properties of the composite are extracted from the obtained stress-strain curve of the composite. The important mechanical properties include maximum stress and toughness. An optimization process is then applied to maximize the mechanical properties of the composite via metaheuristic optimization algorithms including Genetic Algorithm (GA), Ant Colony (ACO), and Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO). Since the studied nanostructure is mono crystal, the reinforcing mechanism differs from that of a grained macro material. Therefore, the optimization variables are not confined to size and volume fraction but they also include the location of the particles. The optimization is performed for 0.05 and 0.10 volume fractions and different particle sizes with respect to the location of particles. Applying the optimization process, the mechanical properties of the studied composite nanowire are substantially improved for tensile loading. The results reveal that the placement of the particles has a considerable effect on the improvement of mechanical characteristics. At last, a pattern is presented for the placement of particles to achieve the highest tensile characteristics of Al-Al2O3 composite nanowires.","PeriodicalId":44789,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part N-Journal of Nanomaterials Nanoengineering and Nanosystems","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80662098","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}

In all the researches, the results obtained from the finite element method were in proper agreement with the experimental and analytical results. The use of the finite element method allows further studies on nanocomposites, which may not be possible in an experimental method or may require a lot of time and cost. In the following, a model of copper/CNT nanocomposite was studied using finite element method. The model was composed of a CNT in a box of pure copper.

Ever since the first conference in 1992, ISME conferences have been a big scientific festivity for mechanical community in Iran. The ISME conference covers a wide range of mechanical fields in science and technology and aims to bring together various engineering mechanics expertise. The ISME2021 organizers decided to bring out papers presented at the conference in the field of microand nano-mechanics as a special issue of Journal of Nanomaterials, Nanoengineering and Nanosystems. This Special Issue contains four papers and each paper has undergone a rigorous review process. In the following, the articles are briefly introduced. In one of the papers, the static behaviors of functionally graded arbitrary straight-sided quadrilateral nanoplates have been investigated on the basis of a continuum mechanics-based surface elastic model. Mechanical response of polyester based composites filled with carbon black has been studied by experimental and micromechanical methods in another paper. The influence of shear deformation on wave propagation in periodic lattices with various topologies has been examined in one of the selected papers. Finally, a novel nanocomposite bone scaffold has been fabricated and its mechanical properties have been studied by using experimental techniques and finite element method. It is hoped that readers will find the special issue interesting. We would like to thank the authors for submitting their valuable works to the Special Issue, and the anonymous reviewers for their time, effort, and professional comments in evaluating the papers.

In contrast, NiTi alloy is sensitive to H atoms. It has been found that hydrogen can cause embrittlement in NiTi alloys. Thus, it is become indispensable to elucidate the reaction of H2 molecules on the NiTi surface. Using density functional theory, we investigated the dissociation mechanism of H2 molecules on the B2 NiTi (001) surface. We found that H atoms tend to come closer to Ni atoms on the Ti- and Ni-terminated (NiTi) (001) substrate. The calculation results showed that the adsorption energy of H atoms at the hollow site was higher than that at the top site. We identified two dissociation mechanisms of H2 molecules on Ti and Ni terminated on NiTi (001) substrates via the hollow sites of the adsorption route. The adsorption energy values obtained were extremely low, that is, 0.23 and 0.38 eV for the Ni and Ti terminated of NiTi (001) substrates, respectively. The dissociation reaction of H2 molecules, which is an exothermic reaction, can quickly occur on the NiTi (001) surface because of the low activation energy.","PeriodicalId":44789,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part N-Journal of Nanomaterials Nanoengineering and Nanosystems","volume":"49 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88074724","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 solutions have significant application in predicting and analyzing flow formation and thermal behavior of Newtonian fluids in micropumps and microchips. Based on the exact solutions obtained, the effects of flow parameters are clearly explained with the use of line graphs.

Casson model constituents a plastic fluid model that exhibits shear thinning characteristics and high shear viscosity. The proposed fluid model also approximates the rheological behavior of other liquids like physiological suspensions, cosmetics, syrups, etc. The governing partial differential equations (PDEs) that account for effect of Buongiorno model are converted in to nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) through suitable similarity variables. Further, approximate analytical technique such as Adomian Decomposition Method is beneficial to carry out the solution of the transformed governing equations and the significant nature of the contributing parameter for both the steady and unsteady case is presented via graphs. Moreover, the major contribution is; the Casson parameter along with suction/injection favors in the smooth enhancement in the velocity profiles and the fluid temperature also encouraged by the augmentation in Brownian and thermophoresis parameter.","PeriodicalId":44789,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part N-Journal of Nanomaterials Nanoengineering and Nanosystems","volume":"56 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90877621","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 respective coupled nonlinear ODEs are solved with the help of a suitable numerical technique named as Runge-Kutta fourth-order method. It is found that Al2O3-Kerosene possesses a slightly greater velocity than Cu-Kerosene, but a reverse effect is found in the case of temperature and nanofluids. The presence of volume concentration is important due to the presence of nanoparticles as nanofluids property depends on the physical properties of nanoparticles.","PeriodicalId":44789,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part N-Journal of Nanomaterials Nanoengineering and Nanosystems","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74879814","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}
