Introduction: Mikania micrantha has been traditionally used for wound dressings and to promote the healing of sores. This is due to the content of alkaloids and terpenoids/steroids compounds. Hyperglycemia is a good medium for bacterial growth that inhibits the wound…
The work focuses on an experimental evaluation of the changes of thermal conductivity (TC) of ethylene glycol-based nanofluid containing SiO2 nanoadditives against volume concentration of nanoadditives (φ) and temperature. The experiments are carried out in the φ range of 0–2.5%…
Luminescence thermometry is one of the most currently studied approaches among the non-contact and non-invasive thermometry techniques working at the micro- and nanoscales, useful in situations where conventional thermometry is not able to make measurements, such as in the temperature…
A three steps synthesis route is proposed to generate thermosensitive and magnetically responsive γ-Fe2O3@Wax@SiO2 sub-micrometer capsules with a paraffinic core and a solid and brittle shell. The process integrates Pickering-based emulsions, inorganic and sol–gel chemistries to promote monodisperse in size…
In the present study, the rheological behavior analysis was conducted on a water-based nanofluid containing reduced graphene oxide nanoparticles. The analysis was performed in the concentration range of 1.0–5.0 {mg/ml} and shear rates of 12.23, 24.46, 36.69, 61.15, 73.38, and…
