Abstract:
A method for detecting the presence and amount of carbon monoxide, comprising the use of infrared spectroscopy to compare the spectra of the test gas containing carbon monoxide and the reference gas. The reference gas is the test gas from which carbon monoxide had been removed by conversion using catalysts. The presence and quantity of carbon monoxide is determined by deducting the spectrum of the reference gas from the spectrum of the test gas. The catalysts comprise nanoparticles of gold precipitated on a metal oxide or hydroxide carrier. An apparatus implementing this method.
Abstract:
A composition for enhanced heat transfer fluid performance, comprising a base heat transfer fluid and a nanometer sized phase change material. Introduction of nanometer sized phase change material into the heat transfer fluid leads to improved, high reversible thermal transport properties at elevated temperatures while ensuring low viscosity of the fluid at sub-freezing temperatures. A method for preparing of the heat transfer fluid with enhanced heat transfer performance, comprising making nanometer sized capsules having the phase change material contained therein and dispersing the capsules into the base heat transfer fluid.
