TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of replacing water with surfactant-free rutile TiO2-water nanofluids as the working fluid in a symmetric flat-plate solar collector was investigated.

TL;DR: This study explores the SNA and chaotic dynamics of a thermoacoustic system forced beyond its phase-locked state, opening up new pathways for the development of alternative strategies to control self-excited thermo-acoustic oscillations in combustion devices such as gas turbines and rocket engines.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare the response of a torus-birth bifurcation with a forced Duffing-van der Pol oscillator, and find many similarities but also some differences, such as the magnitude of the amplitude reduction achieved by AQ and the size of the AQ region in the forcing-amplitude plane.

TL;DR: In this paper, an open-loop acoustic forcing was applied to a laminar premixed flame in a double open-ended tube to weaken thermoacoustic oscillations in a self-excited combustion system.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors experimentally examined the effect of periodic acoustic forcing on a prototypical thermoacoustic system consisting of a ducted laminar premixed flame oscillating quasiperiodically.
