Article Citation - WoS: 30Citation - Scopus: 32Improving the Thermal Characteristics of a Cooling Tower by Replacing the Operating Fluid With Functionalized and Non-Functionalized Aqueous Mwcnt Nanofluids(Elsevier, 2022) Karimi Bakhtiyar, Nazanin; Javadpour, Reza; Zeinali Heris, Saeed; Mohammadpourfard, MousaIn this study, the thermal properties of the operating fluid by replacing the fluid with better thermal properties and lower water loss in a cross-flow cooling tower (CFWCT) investigated. For this purpose, MWCNTs/H2O, MWCNTs-COOH/H2O, and MWCNTs-OH/H2O nanofluids were used instead of water, and the results were compared. The visual method and dynamic light scattering (DLS) were used to guarantee the stability of nanofluids and to determine the size distribution of the nanoparticles in the nanofluid. The influence of nanofluids concentration on cooling towers performance variables such as evaporation rate, performance characteristics, temperature drop, and tower efficiency were investigated. The results showed that the functionalized nanofluids with lower evaporation rates than water and the non-functionalized nanofluids with higher evaporation rates than water improved the thermal performance of CFWCT. For example, at a concentration of 0.1 wt% MWCNTs-COOH/H2O, MWCNTs-OH/H2O, and MWCNTs/H2O, the efficiency of the cooling tower was 46%, 45.3%, and 43.2%, and the performance characteristics were improved by 15.8%, 11.2%, and 6.1%, respectively, compared with water. Among the nanofluids, MWCNTs-COOH/H 2 O nanofluid had the best performance, in which the evaporation rate, performance characteristics, temperature drop, and efficiency were increased by about -4.3%, 15.8%, 15.9%, and 8.7%, respectively, compared to water.Article Citation - WoS: 71Citation - Scopus: 78Investigation of H2o2/Uv Advanced Oxidation Process on the Removal Rate of Coliforms From the Industrial Effluent: a Pilot-Scale Study(Elsevier, 2022) Ashrafivala, Meisam; Mousavi, Seyed Borhan; Zeinali Heris, Saeed; Heidari, Mohammad; Mohammadpourfard, Mousa; Aslani, HassanWastewater recycling and reuse is very important, specially in countries with water shortage problem. Disinfection is very crucial step of wastewater treatment, particulary from the reuse and environmental protection point of view. In this research, the efficiency of the advanced oxidation process using UV and H2O2 combination was investigated on fecal coliform (FC) inactivation from a real industrial effluent; furthermore, the optimal condition for disinfection of the effluent using various parameters such as pH, H2O2 concentration, and contact time was determined. Based on the acquired outcomes, by pH decline from 11 to 7 and 3 inactivation rate increased (6.7% and 20.9%, sequentially), indicating the efficacy of acidic condition on the process. Increasing H2O2 concentration from 5 mg/L to 15 mg/L, 25 mg/L, and 35 mg/L, was led to increase FC inactivation by 16.6%, 29.75%, and 36.33%, respectively. Considering contcat time impact on the process performance, our findings revealed that the best efficiency obtained after 40 (s) contact time. It can be concluded that the combined UV/H2O2 is more potent than single UV and H2O2 process, making it possible to reach irrigation standards.
