Abstract Traditional methods of enhancing the thermal efficiency of heating furnaces in continuously producing oilfields, such as replacing existing units with more efficient units or renovating old furnaces, are highly inconvenient. This paper studied on the characteristics of nanofluids, a novel heat transfer medium with excellent heat transfer characteristics to enhance the thermal efficiency of heating furnaces. The stable nanofluids (Al₂O₃-H₂O, SiO₂- H₂O, and TiO₂-H₂O) were prepared by a two-step method and various chemical and physical treatments were carried out. Thermal conductivities of the nanofluids were measured using the transient hot-wire method. Based on the analysis, the most appropriate nanofluid (TiO₂-H₂O)… More >

Abstract The 5G network has been intensively investigated to realize the ongoing early deployment stage as an effort to match the exponential growth of the number of connected users and their increasing demands for high throughput, bandwidth with Quality of Service (QoS), and low latency. Given that most of the spectrums below 6 GHz are nearly used up, it is not feasible to employ the traditional spectrum, which is currently in use. Therefore, a promising and highly feasible effort to satisfy this insufficient frequency spectrum is to acquire new frequency bands for next-generation mobile communications. Toward this end, the primary effort… More >
