Graphene is a single layer thick consisted by honeycomb‐packed sp2 carbon atom; nanoporous graphene holds great promise in the application of filtration such as reverse osmosis method using a semipermeable membrane to remove ions, molecules, and larger particles from drinking water. The movement of molecules and ions can caused by a collision between the ions, molecules, and the graphene, so we can talk about the sputtering. In this work, we have studied the sputtering yield by Na and Cl ions to examine the potential and the challenges of osmosis membrane from graphene in order to predict the performance of the graphene membrane for use in the reverse osmosis method.
In the field of heat transfer, the use of the properties of rheological behavior inherent to suspensions of nanoparticles in heat transfer fluids has been the subject of several years of work. Our study concerns the particular case of suspensions of multilayered carbon nanotubes (MNTCs) in glycerol. We highlight the effect of the mass fraction φ of (MNTCs) on the rheology of the solutions for 0.1% ≤ φ ≤1%, on the temperature [30-80°C] and the effect on a heat exchanger. The experimental results obtained are described by viscoplastic models for which the yield stress increases with φ. We then propose a law of polynomial evolution of the apparent viscosity as a function of the volume fraction for each value of the shear rate varying from 0s-1 to 100s-1.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
