• Computational Study of Two-Phase Flow Morphology in a Nozzle 

      Balakin, Boris V; Kuzmenkov, Dmitry M.; Kutsenko, Kirill V.; Maslov, Yuriy; Saparbaeva, Nazerke; Kharitonov, V. S. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Multiphase flow meters are widely used in nuclear, petroleum and chemical industries. Here the flow rate is defined indirectly by the differential pressure measurement over the device. An additional measurement is required ...
    • Magnetic enhancement of photothermal heating in ferrofluids 

      Balakin, Boris V; Kutsenko, Kirill V. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Abstract. This contribution describes a multiphase CFD model, capable of simulating convective mass and heat transfer in a ferrofluid. The model was used for a parametric analysis of thermomagnetic convection, demonstrating ...
    • Performance of a tubular direct absorption solar collector with a carbon-based nanofluid 

      Struchalin, Pavel; Yunin, Vladimir; Kutsenko, Kirill V.; Nikolaev, Oleg; Vologzhannikova, Alisa; Shevelyova, Marina; Gorbacheva, Olga; Balakin, Boris (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Direct absorption solar collectors (DASC) with nanofluid represent a new direction in solar thermal technology that is simpler yet more efficient than conventional equipment. In this work, we report details of performance ...
    • Solar-driven desalination using nanoparticles 

      Kuzmenkov, Dmitrii M.; Struchalin, Pavel G.; Olkhovskii, Andrey V.; Yunin, Vladimir S.; Kutsenko, Kirill V.; Balakin, Boris (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Due to the high light absorption and the possibility of localizing boiling to the interior of the receiver, nanoparticles are promising for solar-driven desalination. The paper presents an experimental study of the ...
