摘要

Nanofluids are the new class of fluids with the suspension of nanomaterials which have the average particle size below 100 nm. The nanometer-sized materials are nanoparticles, nanofibers, nanotubes, nanowires, nanorods, nanosheet or droplets. In this research work, oxide ceramics of CuO and Al2O3 are synthesized successfully by two-step combustion route while using glycine as an organic fuel followed by heat treatment. The obtained nanoparticles are characterized by powder X-ray diffractometer. It confirms the formation of CuO and Al2O3 with the phase pure of monoclinic and rhombohedral respectively. Morphological studies carried out by Scanning electron microscopy which shows spherical shape nanoparticles of CuO and leaf-shaped Al2O3 in particles with submicron range. The importance in the choice of coolant materials with base fluids for solar panel applications is briefly discussed by plotting I-V and P-V spectrum. As a result, the cooling efficiency of both CuO and Al(2)O(3 )are found as 18.2%, which is higher than the conventional one. The obtained efficiency value has been also compared with the reported data. This shows that CuO and Al2O3 will be a promising candidate with a base fluid of water for solar panel applications.

Effect of using Al2O3/TiO2 hybrid nanofluids on improving the photovoltaic performance

Talib K. Murtadha

Summary: The main purpose of this study was to cool the photovoltaic panels using nanofluids in order to improve their performance. The study used a 2 wt% Al2O3/TiO2 hybrid nanofluid coolant and compared its effects with those of previous studies that used pure Al2O3 and TiO2 nanoparticles. Three photovoltaic panels were used, one cooled with the hybrid nanofluid, one cooled with water, and one without cooling. The results showed that cooling with the hybrid nanofluid significantly increased the output power and electrical energy efficiency compared to the other cooling methods.

Dina H. A. Besisa, Emad M. M. Ewais, Hanan H. Mohamed

Summary: This work proposes a new high temperature composite material based on black Al2O3/CuO ceramics, which is produced with a simple and low-cost method. CuO is added to alumina to enhance its sinterability and properties for solar energy absorption. The study includes a detailed investigation of the material processing and evaluation of its phase composition, densification, and microstructural features. Thermal properties and mechanical durability are optimized to ensure the sustainability of the material. The results show that the addition of a small percentage of CuO to Al2O3 significantly enhances its densification, microstructure, thermal and mechanical properties. The composite with 10 wt% CuO exhibits the highest thermal conductivity, best thermal emissivity, lowest thermal expansion, outstanding thermal shock resistance, and mechanical durability. Therefore, Al2O3/CuO composites can be considered as a promising material for high temperature solar receivers.

Chaos signatures of current phase transition in a toroidal trap

Zhiqiang Li, Xiaoxiao Hu, Zhao-Yun Zeng, Yajiang Chen, Ai-Xi Chen, Xiaobing Luo

Summary: This work demonstrates how the current phase transition of atomic Bose-Einstein condensates in a trap can be controlled by applying an oscillatory driving field. The self-trapping effect in momentum space allows for a suppression of oscillations and a nearly constant directed current. Mean-field chaos serves as an indicator of the quantum phase transition. These findings are supported by an effective three-mode model.
