This research emphasizes the flax-based composite, developed using the hand lay-up method and augmented with three distinct graphene nanofillers. The graphene fillers are categorized as large nanorods (dimensions 3-5 nm, lengths 150-300 nm), small nano threads (dimensions 6-12 nm, lengths under 50 nm), and spherical particulates (dimensions 29-39 nm). ...Thermal conductivity evaluations of the composite, integrated with different graphene configurations, recorded enhancements ranging from 0.22 W/mK to 0.286 W/mK at a 2 wt.% graphene concentration. At an elevated 4 wt.% graphene addition, the small rod-shaped fillers demonstrated an impressive 59.6% enhancement over the flax/epoxy baseline, while the larger rod and spherical graphene nanoparticles showcased a 22.14% enhancement. ....% inclusion of spherical graphene nanoparticles is particularly effective in enhancing the ultimate tensile strength and fracture elongation of the epoxy matrix, registering improvements of 10% and 29% respectively.

Our work intends to conduct experiments on kerosene-graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) nanofluid in a mini channel heat sink (MCHS) in two concentrations of graphene to verify the heat transfer and other hydrothermal phenomena. Many experiments have already been carried out on cooling electronic devices using mini channels along with various water-based nanofluids. ...The experiments with kerosene-GNP nanofluid are conducted in two different weight percentages of graphene, 0.01 and 0.03. The surfactant used for best visual stability is oleylamine, with an optimum mass ratio of 0.6 between it and graphene nanoparticles. ...The surfactant used for best visual stability is oleylamine, with an optimum mass ratio of 0.6 between it and graphene nanoparticles. A Peltier heater is attached to the bottom of the mini channel and provided with three different heat supplies of 8 W, 10 W, and 12 W, respectively, by varying the current and voltage of the direct current (DC) source.

The cell is provided with different coatings of carbon, graphene, and silicone, used in turn, to dissipate the heat generated during the operation in natural convection.

Larger airframes drove the development of electrical systems, capable of quickly and reliably starting the new higher power engines. These soon gave rise to the need for engine-mounted electrical generators as the primary source of in-flight power for the electrical loads and onboard recharging of the aircraft battery system. Of all the backup power sources, batteries represent the most common means of storing energy for auxiliary or emergency power requirements. It is not unusual for a typical commercial airliner, such as a B-737 or A-320, to have dozens of batteries on board. Over time, multiple battery chemistries were put to the test and the industry is still working on the optimal option. The lithium-ion technology has been gaining acceptance, with some important aspects to be considered: the application type, basic safety requirements and the presence or absence of humans on the vehicle.
