Abstract Lead free hybrid halide perovskite (CH3NH3)3Bi2Br9 has been successfully synthesized by mechano-chemical method. The microstructure analysis by Rietveld’s refinement method revealed that the crystal belongs to trigonal system with space group P3 ̅m1. The obtained microstructural parameters are well in agreement with the previously published data. Temperature-dependent ac conductivity, impedance spectroscopy, and complex dielectric properties have been investigated in detail. The negative temperature coefficient of resistance behaviour reveals the semiconducting nature of the materials. The complex impedance spectroscopy also supports the semiconducting nature of the sample with activation energy for conduction ~0.38 eV.

Piezoelectric properties and related figures of merit are studied in novel 1–3-type composites based on ferroelectric domain-engineered lead-free single crystal with the relatively large longitudinal piezoelectric coefficient [Formula: see text]. Relationships between the piezoelectric properties and the set of figures of merit are analyzed for the 1–3 and 1–3–0 composites that contain the same single-crystal and polymer components. For a composite characterized by 1–3–0 connectivity, an influence of a porous piezo-passive matrix on the figures of merit and their volume-fraction behavior is considered additionally. A large anisotropy of figures of merit is observed in the 1–3–0 composite with specific porous matrices. A diagram is put forward to show volume-fraction regions of the large anisotropy of figures of merit of the studied 1–3–0 composite. Due to large figures of merit and their considerable anisotropy, the studied lead-free composites can be applied in piezoelectric energy-harvesting systems, sensors, transducers, and so on.

This study deals with natural convection unsteady flow of CNTs − Fe 3 O 4 /water hybrid nanofluids due to stretching surface embedded in a porous medium. Both hybrid nanoparticles of SWCNTs − Fe 3 O 4 and MWCNTs − Fe 3 O 4 are used with water as base fluid. Effects of hybrid nanoparticles volume friction, second-order velocity slip condition, and temperature-dependent viscosity are investigated. The governing problem of flow is solved numerically employing spectral quasilinearization method (SQLM). The results are presented and discussed via embedded parameters using graphs and tables. The results disclose that the thermal conductivity of CNTs − Fe 3 O 4 / H 2 O hybrid nanofluids is higher than that of CNTs − H 2 O nanofluids with higher value of hybrid nanoparticle volume fraction. Also, the results show that momentum boundary layer reduces while the thermal boundary layer gros with higher values of temperature-dependent viscosity and second-order velocity slip parameters. The skin friction coefficient improves, and the local heat transfer rate decreases with higher values of nanoparticle volume fraction, temperature-dependent viscosity, and second-order velocity slip parameters. Furthermore, more skin friction coefficients and lower local heat transfer rate are reported in the CNTs − Fe 3 O 4 / H 2 O hybrid nanofluid than in the CNTs − H 2 O nanofluid. Thus, the obtained results are promising for the application of hybrid nanofluids in the nanotechnology and biomedicine sectors.

We present a numerical approach for material optimization of metal-ceramic functionally graded materials (FGMs) with temperature-dependent material properties. We solve the non-linear heterogeneous thermoelasticity equations in 2D under plane strain conditions and consider examples in which the material composition varies along the radial direction of a hollow cylinder under thermomechanical loading. A space of shape-preserving splines is used to search for the optimal volume fraction function which minimizes stresses or minimizes mass under stress constraints. The control points (design variables) that define the volume fraction spline function are independent of the grid used in the numerical solution of the thermoelastic problem. We introduce new temperature-dependent objective functions and constraints. The rule of mixture and the modified Mori-Tanaka with the fuzzy inference scheme are used to compute effective properties for the material mixtures. The different micromechanics models lead to optimal solutions that are similar qualitatively. To compute the temperature-dependent critical stresses for the mixture, we use, for lack of experimental data, the rule-of-mixture. When a scalar stress measure is minimized, we obtain optimal volume fraction functions that feature multiple graded regions alternating with non-graded layers, or even non-monotonic profiles. The dominant factor for the existence of such local minimizers is the non-linear dependence of the critical stresses of the ceramic component on temperature. These results show that, in certain cases, using power-law type functions to represent the material gradation in FGMs is too restrictive.

The viscosities of suspensions of polystyrene particles in aqueous LiCl solutions (about 3.5 · 10-4 M) at temperatures from 0 to 60 °C were measured and fitted to relations of the form η = η0(1+K1ϕ+K2ϕ2)i where ϕ is the volume fraction of the particles.In contradiction to existing theories the coefficients K1 and K2 were found to be temperature dependent

Manufacturing of modern coating materials doped with magnetic nanoparticles has arisen as an exciting new area of materials processing fluid dynamics. Methanol is primarily used in chemical manufacturing, specialized vehicles fuel, energy carrier, as an antifreeze in pipelines, in wastewater treatment plant, and many more. In this article, a mathematical model is therefore developed to study crosswise flow of methanol-based ferromagnetic fluid through a permeable medium with suction/injection effects. Temperature-dependent viscosity is taken with Reynolds exponential model. The Tiwari–Das and Maxwell–Garnett nanofluid models are used, which alters the electrical conductivity, density, and thermal conductivity properties with nanoparticle volume fraction. The two-dimensional mass, momentum, and energy equations are normalized into nonlinear system comprising ordinary differential equations via appropriate similarity transformations. The solution of the emerging physical problem is attained by shooting scheme in MATLAB symbolic software. Validation of the results is presented through comparison with previously reported literature in the limiting sense. The influence of pertinent parameters on the flow and heat transfer characteristics is revealed through graphs. It is found that velocity profiles are suppressed with greater magnetic parameter and porosity parameters but temperature profile is enhanced. Velocity and temperature profiles for injection case are higher when compared with the suction phenomenon. Shear stress at the wall is decreased with volume fraction. Heat transfer gradient at the wall is significantly enhanced with volume fraction.
