Thermal-lens spectrometry is a sensitive technique for determination of physicochemical
properties and thermophysical parameters of various materials including heterogeneous …

In this article, the historical development of thermal lens spectrometry (TLS) is briefly
reviewed as an introduction. In continuation, the emphasis is on the recent progresses of …

A 3-D mathematical model involving coupled momentum, heat and mass transfer within a
whole domestic fryer was developed. Simulations were run at different frying temperatures of …

Alternative fuels hold considerable promise as substitutes for petroleum diesel fuel. As such,
biodiesel is a promising renewable fuel that has been developed and tested by a number of …

A simultaneous steady-state and transient photothermal-lens modality was used for both the
thermal and optical parameters of aqueous dispersed systems (carbon and silica …

Adulteration of fuels is a major problem, especially in developing and third world countries.
One such case is the adulteration of diesel oil by kerosene. This problem contributes to air …

Near-near infrared (N-NIR) Thermal Lens Spectroscopy (TLS) was used to monitor the
transesterification reaction during biodiesel production. Fifteen aliquots were extracted from …

Background: Liquid fuel adulteration has several far-reaching impacts such as
environmental pollution. A widespread practice is typically the adulteration of diesel oil by …

A dual-beam mode-mismatched configuration of the Thermal Lens (TL) technique was
applied to characterize biodiesel, diesel and diesel/biodiesel blends. The excitation was …

The type of oil used during deep-fat frying can play a unique role in the transfer phenomena
due to their different physicochemical properties. The effects of three types of oil, including …
