Journal Article
Hong, J., Liu, S., Glover, P., Wu, S., & Yan, Y. (2017). Mathematical and experimental investigation of water migration in plant xylem. Journal of Bionic Engineering, 14(4), 622-630. https://doi.org/10.1016/S1672-6529%2816%2960428-6

Plant can take water from soil up to several metres high. However, the mechanism of how water rises against gravity is still controversially discussed despite a few mechanisms have been proposed. Also, there still lacks of a critical transportation m... Read More about Mathematical and experimental investigation of water migration in plant xylem.

Experimental measurement of dynamic concentration of nanofluid in laminar flow (2017)
Journal Article
Hong, J., Liu, S., Yan, Y., & Glover, P. (in press). Experimental measurement of dynamic concentration of nanofluid in laminar flow. Experimental Thermal and Fluid Science, 88, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.expthermflusci.2017.06.022

Nanofluid is thought to have a potential enhancement in heat transfer behaviour of fluid. The nanoparticle concentration in nanofluid is one of the most important factors that affect the nanofluid behaviour. The static concentration was applied in th...
