The computed elastic constants of considered compound show that L21 type is ductile, anisotropic and mechanically stable, while the XA phase ordering of Ti2FeGe is not mechanically stable. The (DOS) and band structure of L21 type structure of Ti2FeGe alloy show metallic character in both spin up and spin down directions, while the XA type structure exhibits half-metallic character. Based on quasi-harmonic Debye model applied in the Gibbs program, the lattice vibrational, the bulk modulus, the Debye temperature, the heat capacity, the entropy, the coefficient of thermal expansion and the Grüneisen parameter have also been estimated. The thermoelectric properties of two phases are examined and discussed through consideration of transport coefficients.

The near-field thermal radiation (NFTR) between two identical BP/hBN heterostructures with high electron density is studied to promote the application of BP-based devices. The BP/hBN heterostructures show a higher heat transfer coefficient (HTC) at a 10 nm gap distance compared to BP films with electron density n larger than 1 × 1013 cm−2, due to the coupling of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) and hyperbolic phonon polaritons (HPPs). Especially at n ≥ 3 × 1013 cm−2, the improvement is more than 100%. The SPPs and the HPPs couple into surface plasmon-phonon polaritons (SPPPs) out of the hyperbolic region and hyperbolic plasmon-phonon polaritons (HPPPs) inside. The SPPPs can achieve photon tunneling in the broader wavevector region than SPPs, making most of the contribution to heat transfer. The influences of the thickness of the hBN sheet and gap distance are also discussed. This scheme only effectively enhances NFTR for BP with high electron density at small nanogaps. After structural optimization, h = 2 nm is the optimal thickness for BP/hBN configuration with low electron density, such as n = 1 × 1013 cm−2. In contrast, large thickness h = 500 nm is optimal for BP with high electron density. At high electron density, a thick hBN sheet is prominent in enhancing the SPPPs in the frequencies below the type-I region and the HPPPs inside the type-II region. We further propose BP/hBN/BP heterostructures and find that HTC is further enhanced by 4.4% ~ 30.8% due to the more robust surface modes. Our work may contribute to developing BP-based near-field thermal devices and promote understanding the NFTR mechanism of BP/hBN heterostructure.","PeriodicalId":49784,"journal":{"name":"Nanoscale and Microscale Thermophysical Engineering","volume":"27 1","pages":"42 - 54"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2022-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48543821","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This work would be the first to report the use of core-shell nanoparticles in solar water heating systems. The core-shell structure allows for dual improvements in thermal conductivity and better nanofluid stability, even without a surfactant. Therefore, three novel nanofluids were prepared by adding 2 wt% TiO2@SiO2, Fe3O4@SiO2, and ZnO@SiO2 core-shell nanoparticles to pure water to be used in the experiments. The experimental thermal performances of the nanofluids were individually compared with pure water by the simultaneous operation of two identical systems. The results showed that the nanofluids with Fe3O4@SiO2 and ZnO@SiO2 particles had better performance than the base fluid. In particular, 16.65% and 5.40% increase in the useful energy gain and a 17.12% and 7.39% increase in the collector efficiency were observed with Fe3O4@SiO2 and ZnO@SiO2 core-shell based nanofluids, respectively.

With the introduction of radiosensitizers, invasive surgical and chemotherapy techniques can be avoided. Radiosensitizers with a high-Z base such as gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are promising candidates for catalyzing tumor injury and simultaneously enabling tracking to be done inside the organ via a computed tomography scan or other diagnostic imaging. It has been documented that AuNP possess biocompatibility characteristics as well as nontoxic properties depending on the size of the application and the applied coating. Radiosensitizers can increase tumor targeting, thus providing more specific destruction than conventional techniques while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues. This review focuses on the special properties of AuNP in assisting radiotherapy as a radiosensitizing agent. Important parameters for AuNP’s optimization are listed to offer general guidelines for which the specifications of AuNP should be directed. In addition, the mechanism of AuNP radiosensitization in physical, chemical, and biological phases is discussed. A list of in vitro and in vivo testing and current clinical trials of AuNP are presented in sequence. Finally, the utilization of AuNP for diagnosing and combating the COVID-19 pandemic is discussed for future outbreak surveillance and intervention.","PeriodicalId":49784,"journal":{"name":"Nanoscale and Microscale Thermophysical Engineering","volume":"26 1","pages":"161 - 187"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44499184","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The streamline distribution and velocity field in the three micro pin fin arrays are obtained. Experimental results indicate that the longitudinal spacing has considerable effect on both the extension of the wake region and velocity field around pin fins. The small longitudinal spacing hinders the extension of the wake region behind the pin fin and delays the vortex shedding. The micro pin fin array with S L = 2D provides maximum velocity span and transverse velocity, indicating intense local fluid mixing. The flow and heat transfer characteristics in the microchannel with a single circular micro pin fin are also studied. By comparison, the feature of the wake region in the micro pin fin array with a large longitudinal spacing is similar to that in the flow past a single micro pin fin. Moreover, vortex shedding occurs in the micro pin fin array at higher Reynolds number. The correlation between velocity field and temperature field around the pin fin is investigated. The belt zone with enhanced heat transfer around the pin fin is consistent with the distribution of fluid with high velocities. Vortex shedding can obviously enhance the heat transfer downstream of the micro pin fin.","PeriodicalId":49784,"journal":{"name":"Nanoscale and Microscale Thermophysical Engineering","volume":"26 1","pages":"198 - 217"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2022-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43583344","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
