EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION ON THERMAL PERFORMANCE OF COVALENTLY FUNCTIONALIZED HYDROXYLATED AND NON-COVALENTLY FUNCTIONALIZED MULTI-WALLED CARBON NANOTUBES/TRANSFORMER OIL NANOFLUID

Experimental investigation on thermal performance of covalently functionalized hydroxylated and non-covalently functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes/transformer oil nanofluid

The study investigated the effect of adding covalently functionalized-hydroxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs-OH) and non-covalently-functionalized MWCNTs on the breakdown voltage and thermal properties of transformer oil in a rectangular chamber.The novelty of the present study is the use of covalently functionalized hydroxylated and no

The contribution of spatial analysis to understanding HIV/TB mortality in children: a structural equation modelling approach

Background: South Africa accounts for more than a sixth of the global population of people infected with HIV and TB, ranking her highest in HIV/TB co-infection worldwide.Remote areas often bear the greatest burden of morbidity and mortality, yet there are spatial differences within rural settings.Objectives: The primary aim was to investigate HIV/T
