Ethylene Glycol Solution (ethylene + glycol_solution)
Selected AbstractsMicrowave-Assisted Synthesis of Nanocrystalline MgO and Its Use as a BacteriocideADVANCED FUNCTIONAL MATERIALS, Issue 10 2005S. Makhluf Abstract Nanocrystalline particles of MgO were synthesized using microwave radiation in an ethylene glycol solution. The antibacterial activities of the MgO nanoparticles were tested by treating Escherichia coli (Gram negative) and Staphylococcus aureus (Gram positive) cultures with 1,mg,mL,1 of the nanoparticles. We have examined the importance of the size effect, pH, and the form of the active MgO species as a bactericidal agent. A clear size dependence of the nanoparticles is observed where the amount of eradicated bacteria was strongly dependent on the particle size. [source] Viscosity measurements of ethylene glycol solution with flow drag reduction additivesHEAT TRANSFER - ASIAN RESEARCH (FORMERLY HEAT TRANSFER-JAPANESE RESEARCH), Issue 8 2006Naoto Haruki Abstract The viscous characteristics of ethylene glycol (EG) solution with flow drag reduction additive have been investigated experimentally. In this study, oleyldihydoroxyetyl amineoxide (ODEAO) was used as the flow drag reduction additive, and an aqueous solution of EG was used as a secondary refrigerant. The viscosity of the EG solution with ODEAO was measured with a rotational rheometer. The experimental parameters of viscosity measurement were the temperature of the EG solution with ODEAO, the ODEAO concentration, and the EG concentration. From the experimental results, the apparent viscosity of the EG solution with ODEAO showed SIS (shear induced state). The non-linear dependence of shear stress on shear rate has been well approximated by the power-law model under high shear conditions. The power-law contents, pseudoplastic viscosity, and index number have been estimated for each experimental parameter. Using the measured viscosity and non-dimensional analysis, the flow drag and heat transfer reduction effect of the EG solution with ODEAO has been investigated. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

This synthesis was performed using potassium hydrogen sulfate as the promoter in ethylene glycol solution. Compared with the classical Biginelli reaction conditions, this new method has the advantage of excellent yields (85,95%) and short reaction time (0.5,2 h). [source] Synthesis and Photocatalytic Activity of Highly Ordered TiO2 and SrTiO3/TiO2 Nanotube Arrays on Ti SubstratesJOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CERAMIC SOCIETY, Issue 9 2010Xuming Zhang Highly ordered TiO2 nanotube arrays (TiO2 -NTAs) are produced by electrochemical anodization of a Ti foil in ammonium fluoride (NH4F),ethylene glycol solution. Photocatalytic (PC) investigations indicate that the length of the NTAs plays an important role in their photoactivity. The PC activity increases initially with the NT length and then decreases and the optimum length that yields the highest PC is 6.2 ,m for TiO2 -NTAs. The TiO2 -NTAs are further converted to heterojunction strontium titanate (SrTiO3)/TiO2 -NTAs by a hydrothermal reaction in Sr(OH)2 solution. As the hydrothermal reaction proceeds, more TiO2 is converted into SrTiO3 and the thickness of the SrTiO3 layer increases. The SrTiO3/TiO2 -NTAs exhibit variable PC activities that depend on the hydrothermal reaction time, and the SrTiO3/TiO2 -NTAs hydrothermally treated for 1 h or less have enhanced PC properties. The advantage of combining TiO2 and SrTiO3 stems from the difference in the flatband potential, thereby improving the separation of the photogenerated electron,hole pairs and consequently the PC activity. [source] Inhibition of corrosion of AZ91 magnesium alloy in ethylene glycol solution in presence of chloride anionsMATERIALS AND CORROSION/WERKSTOFFE UND KORROSION, Issue 2 2005E. Slavcheva Abstract The influence of chloride ions on the corrosion of AZ91 magnesium alloy in water/ethylene glycol solutions and the inhibiting effect of lactobiono-tallowamide (LTA) were investigated using electrochemical and surface analysis methods. Potentiodynamic polarization curves in aqueous solution of ethylene glycol (50:50w%) containing 0.1 g.L,1 chloride and up to 0.5 g.L,1 LBT were obtained at room and at elevated temperatures. The chloride anions showed a distinct deteriorating effect as they caused pit initiation and accelerated the dissolution of the tested alloy. The selected organic compound demonstrated good protective properties against corrosion of AZ91 magnesium alloy and behaved as inhibitor of mixed type hindering both the cathodic and the anodic partial reactions. It showed inhibition efficiency of 77% at relatively low concentration of 0.2 g.L,1 and was considered as a promising corrosion inhibitor. The mechanism of inhibition was discussed on the basis of the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and XRD analysis of the surface. [source] | ||||||||||
