• CFD-DEM model of plugging in flow with cohesive particles 

      Saparbayeva, Nazerke; Balakin, Boris (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Plugging in flows with cohesive particles is crucial in many industrial and real-life applications such as hemodynamics, water distribution, and petroleum flow assurance. Although probabilistic models for plugging risk ...
    • Exploring the use of nanofluids in pump-free systems for solar thermal applications 

      Kosinska, Anna Dorota; Balakin, Boris; Kosinski, Pawel Jan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      By using nanofluids as a working fluid in pump-free designs, thermal energy systems can become more efficient and have reduced maintenance costs, ultimately extending the system’s lifespan. In this paper, our goal is to ...
    • Photothermal conversion of biodegradable fluids and carbon black nanofluids 

      Kosinska, Anna Dorota; Balakin, Boris; Kosinski, Pawel Jan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      The paper is devoted to the topic of direct absorption solar collectors (DASCs). Various kinds of fluids can be used as heat transfer fluid in DASCs, and the main focus of our paper is on comparing nanofluids (water with ...
