Due to the increasing demand in industrial application, nanofluids have attracted the considerable attention of researchers in recent decades. The addition of nanocellulose (CNC) with water (W) and ethylene glycol (EG) to a coolant for a radiator application exhibits beneficial properties to improve the efficiency of the radiator. The focus of the present work was to investigate the performance of mono or hybrid metal oxide such as Al2O3 and TiO2 with or without plant base-extracted CNC with varying concentrations as a better heat transfer nanofluid in comparison to distilled water as a radiator coolant. The CNC is dispersed in the base fluid of EG and W with a 60:40 ratio. The highest absorption peak was noticed at 0.9% volume concentration of TiO2, Al2O3, CNC, Al2O3/TiO2, and Al2O3/CNC nanofluids which indicates a better stability of the nanofluids’ suspension. Better thermal conductivity improvement was observed for the Al2O3 nanofluids in all mono nanofluids followed by the CNC and TiO2 nanofluids, respectively. The thermal conductivity of the Al2O3/CNC hybrid nanofluids with 0.9% volume concentration was found to be superior than that of the Al2O3/TiO2 hybrid nanofluids. Al2O3/CNC hybrid nanofluid dominates over other mono and hybrid nanofluids in terms of viscosity at all volume concentrations. CNC nanofluids (all volume concentrations) exhibited the highest specific heat capacity than other mono nanofluids. Additionally, in both hybrid nanofluids, Al2O3/CNC showed the lowest specific heat capacity. The optimized volume concentration from the statistical analytical tool was found to be 0.5%. The experimental results show that the heat transfer coefficient, convective heat transfer, Reynolds number and the Nusselt number have a proportional relationship with the volumetric flow rate. Hybrid nanofluids exhibit better thermal conductivity than mono nanofluids. For instance, a better thermal conductivity improvement was shown by the mono Al2O3 nanofluids than the CNC and TiO2 nanofluids. On the other hand, superior thermal conductivity was observed for the Al2O3/CNC hybrid nanofluids compared to the other mono and hybrid ones (Al2O3/TiO2).

Aims: To study the specific heat capacity for biologically and medicinally important compounds, namely, lidocaine hydrochloride, clove oil and brta-Piperine using DSC technique. Background: One of the main problems in the science of medicine is the application of drug molecules with limited solubility in water and in biofluids. Solubility is related to chemical potential of the solutes involved which imparts free energy avenues, a necessary requirement for equilibrium processes. The convincing solutions for solving this issue are the utilization of ionic liquids as drug. Lidocaine is the most widely utilized intraoral injected dental anesthetic prior to performing painful medical procedures. Besides that, lidocaine hydrochloride is a salt which is having melting point 76 0C (349 K) and behaves as ionic liquid after melting. Clove oil and β-piperine are very well-known naturally occurring medicinal compounds having broad spectrum of applications. Objective: To study the thermal gravimetry analysis behaviour for lidocaine hydrochloride, clove oil and β-piperine. To compute specific heat capacity at constant pressure, as a function of temperature for the studied systems. Method: In the present communication, the studies of thermal gravimetry analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) for these compounds are described. The data of heat flow have been utilized to obtain specific heat capacity (Cp) values for lidocaine hydrochloride, clove oil and β-piperine over a temperature range in between 75 0C (348 K) and 155 0C (428 K) based upon the methodology we have developed. Result: The data of heat flow have been utilized to obtain specific heat capacity (Cp) values for lidocaine hydrochloride, clove oil and β-piperine over a temperature range in between 75 0C (348 K) and 155 0C (428 K) based upon the methodology we have developed. Conclusion: LC•HCl behaves as an ionic liquid between 76 and 230 0C (349 and 503 K). Clove oil is having lower specific heat capacity values and is similar to other organic aromatic compounds while piperine exhibits comparative high specific heat capacity values indicating possibilities of intramolecular hydrogen bonding which is generally not affected by temperature.

AbstractIn this paper, a new theoretical two-phase (solid–liquid) type model of melting temperature has developed based on the modified Gibbs–Thomson equation. Further, it is extended to derive other different size-dependent thermodynamic properties such as cohesive energy, Debye temperature, specific heat capacity, the thermal and electrical conductivity of metallic nanoparticles. Quantitative calculation of the effect of size on thermodynamic properties resulted in, varying linearly with the inverse of characteristic length of nanomaterials. The models are applied to Al, Pb, Ag, Sn, Mo, W, Co, Au and Cu nanoparticles of spherical shape. The melting temperature, Debye temperature, thermal and electrical conductivity are found to decrease with the decrease in particle size, whereas the cohesive energy and specific heat capacity are increased with the decrease in particle size. The present model is also compared with previous models and found consistent. The results obtained with this model validated with experimental and simulation results from several sources that show similar trends between the model and experimental results. Graphic abstract
