Stabilisation of FeCoNiCuPt high-entropy alloy nanoparticles by surface capping
No full textHigh-entropy alloys (HEA) are a distinct class of materials made up of multiple principal components (≥5) in near-equimolar ratios, resulting in extraordinary properties, including high catalytic activity, corrosion and oxidation resistance, and tunable magnetic properties. In nanoparticle form, these alloys are highly promising for a variety of advanced applications such as catalysis, magnetic storage, and biomedical technology [Zoubi et al., Nano Energy, 2023, 110, 108362]. This study used isolating medium-assisted solid-state reaction to synthesise FeCoNiCuPt HEA nanoparticles with ultrafine NaCl particles as the isolating medium [Meng et al., Mater. Adv., 2024, 5, 719]. The nanoparticles were stabilised with a range of hydrophobic and hydrophilic capping agents such as polyethylinimine, Polyvinylpyrrolidone, stearic acid, octadecylamine etc, introduced before or after the removal of the isolating medium. The formation of single-phase nanoparticles & chemical composition of FeCoNiCuPt was validated by X-ray diffraction & energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering were used to determine particle sizes, effective capping agent thickness, and particle stability. The results highlight the successful synthesis of FeCoNiCuPt nanoparticles, effect of capping agents on the control of particle size, and the stability of capped nanoparticle suspensions in water and organic solvents. The study emphasises the importance of selecting the appropriate capping agent to maintain nanoparticle stability and prevent agglomeration

Turbulent Flow Structure in Developing and Fully-Developed Flows under the Impact of Downward Seepage
Get PDFThis work experimentally investigates the turbulent flow characteristics of developing and fully-developed flows over a rough bed channel that is subjected to downward seepage. Instantaneous 3D velocities were collected using an acoustic Doppler velocimeter (ADV) in the developing and fully-developed flow regions, along the channel centerline, to analyze different turbulent statistics. Observations revealed that the streamwise and vertical velocities were higher in developing flows, whereas the Reynolds shear stresses, and turbulence intensities, were smaller. The downward seepage would affect the velocity distributions and flow depth in both the developing and fully-developed regions. Therefore, new equations to represent the distribution of the turbulence intensities were proposed, and a comparison with the current literature is provided. The investigation of the Reynolds stress anisotropy tensors concludes that the degree of anisotropy in fully-developed flows is lower than for developing flows

An Integrated Approach to Evaluating Crop Water Requirements and Irrigation Schedule for Optimizing Furrow Irrigation Design Parameters in Kurnool District, India
No full textIn Kurnool district, due to the hot, arid climatic conditions, proper study of crop evapotranspiration and its effect on crop water demand for various crops is an extremely important issue. More focus will be given to the design and development of surface irrigation systems based mostly on furrow irrigation, as the rainfall pattern for this district was irregular in 2005. The crop water requirement and furrow irrigation design parameters for optimising the beneficial utilisation of available water resources and field performances are studied in this research. Some major crops, such as cotton, sugarcane, sorghum, maize, and sunflower, are considered when adopting a suitable furrow irrigation system for soil conditions of the types black clay, red loamy, and medium loam. The reference crop evapotranspiration was estimated for 2005 based on the Penman–Monteith equation as per FAO guidelines by the CROPWAT 8.0 model. Crop Water Requirement (CWR), Net Irrigation Requirement (NIR), and Gross Irrigation Requirement (GIR) were determined for available climatic and soil conditions. Soil surface characteristics were studied using AQUACROP 6.1 and compared with CROPWAT 8.0 for model accuracy. Various conservative and non-conservative crop characteristics were studied under limited set conditions, and correlation equations were developed between different parameters. Moreover, different furrow irrigation design parameters were considered by FURDEV (a module of the SURDEV model) for three modes of operation (i.e., fixed flow, cutback flow, and tailwater reuse method) under modified SCS (Soil Conservation Service) families of soil infiltration characteristics. NIR values were 200 mm, 1423.2 mm, 220 mm, 150 mm, and 150 mm for cotton, sugarcane, maize, sorghum, and sunflower, respectively. A maximum significant dry yield was observed for maize (13.586 tonnes/ha). Additionally, the maximum application efficiency and storage efficiency were obtained at 95.5% for sorghum and 99.3% for sunflower, which would be a beneficial outcome of this research. In general, the results of this research might be very effective for the irrigation authority of Kurnool District to plan suitable approaches for designing and developing proper water management systems
