“…Moreover, due to the collision of the inlet streams and a rapid change in the flow direction, the flow character changes to highly turbulent. This ensures good mixing conditions and particle precipitations on the nanoscale [14][15][16][17]. Its design, based on the constant contact of new particles of the inlet streams, results in producing particles with reproducible properties.…”

To enhance oil’s tribological and rheological properties, various nano-additives are used. An example of such a nano-additive is nanosized molybdenum disulfide (MoS2). Due to its unique properties, MoS2-based materials used as lubricants have attracted significant attention. In our previous work, we developed a novel, scalable, and low-cost method for MoS2-based materials production using an impinging jet reactor. Hybrid nanostructures based on MoS2 and carbon nanomaterials (MoS2/CNMs) decreased the friction factor of the base oil. In the present study, a mathematical model that accounts for the viscous heating effects in rheograms was formulated. The model was used to interpret the results of rheological measurements conducted for the base oil 10W40 and its mixtures with different nanosized lubricant additives. The model of the non-isothermal Couette flow allowed us to correct the rheograms of the engine oils in the region of high shear rates where viscous heating effects become significant. The temperature correlations for the consistency and flow behavior indexes were proposed. The nanohybrid suspensions of MoS2 in the base oil were found to have the lowest apparent viscosity at low temperatures, typical for the cold engine startup.

“…Proper selection of process methods and parameters often results in better product yield and quality and fewer byproducts (including environmentally harmful ones) and often reduces the number of production stages required. Recently, computational models in combination with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) have been increasingly used for this purpose [3][4][5][6][7][8].…”

In our previous work, we used the population balance method to develop a molybdenum disulphide kinetics model consisting of a set of differential equations and constants formulated to express the kinetics of complex chemical reactions leading to molybdenum disulphide precipitation. The purpose of the study is to improved the model to describe the occurring phenomena more thoroughly and have introduced computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling to conduct calculations for various reactor geometries. CFD simulations supplemented with our nucleation and growth kinetics model can predict the impact of mixing conditions on particle size with good accuracy. This introduces another engineering tool for designing efficient chemical reactors.

“…Due to the good mixing conditions, materials obtained in the impinging jet reactor might show better dispersion of MoS 2 particles on the carbon surface, smaller particle size, and a lower tendency to agglomerate, which has a significant impact in advanced applications, such as catalysis. Moreover, this technique allows for the continuous production of materials with the desired properties [ 42 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 ]. The aim of the conducted research was to examine if impinging jet reactors can be used for preparation of MoS 2 /GO hybrid structures with enhanced properties compared to the more commonly used semi-batch reactor.…”

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) can be an excellent candidate for being combined with carbon nanomaterials to obtain new hybrid nanostructures with outstanding properties, including higher catalytic activity. The aim of the conducted research was to develop the novel production method of hybrid nanostructures formed from MoS2 and graphene oxide (GO). The nanostructures were synthesized in different weight ratios and in two types of reactors (i.e., impinging jet and semi-batch reactors). Physicochemical analysis of the obtained materials was carried out, using various analytical techniques: particle size distribution (PSD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), FT-IR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Due to the potential application of materials based on MoS2 as the catalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction, linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) of the commercial MoS2, synthesized MoS2 and the obtained hybrid nanostructures was performed using a three-electrode system. The results show that the developed synthesis of hybrid MoS2/GO nanostructures in continuous reactors is a novel and facile method for obtaining products with desired properties. The hybrid nanostructures have shown better electrochemical properties and higher onset potentials compared to MoS2 nanoparticles. The results indicate that the addition of carbon nanomaterials during the synthesis improves the activity and stability of the MoS2 nanoparticles.
