Using earthen and natural materials promotes sustainable and affordable construction. Additive manufacturing also offers low-cost and fast construction and facilitates the transition towards automated and customized practices. Considerations in preparing print slurry using clay and sawdust/natural fiber are presented. The key rheological tests and criteria to assess the printability and characteristics of fresh printing slurry are discussed. Printability of fresh slurry is explained with a focus on flowability, extrudability, and buildability. Additionally, the mechanical properties of 3D-printed clay composites reinforced with natural fibers are reviewed. The review shows the complex role of using wood sawdust and natural fiber in clay 3D printing. While such an addition may compromise the strength properties of clay composite, it improves the shrinkage and cracks following print task. The study concludes that post-printing performance shall be linked to proper design of print slurry via rheological characterization techniques. Further research is required to establish the fresh ink printability criteria. These criteria should account for rheology of fresh slurry, different loading scenarios of in-service printed structure, and geometrical complexities and requirements of final product. To fully leverage the power of 3D printing in customized fabrication and construction, additive manufacturing can be practiced by focusing on aesthetic and architectural design. Clay 3D printing can also be integrated with computational design to fabricate building structures with exterior (façade) and/or interior applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":36919,"journal":{"name":"Results in Engineering","volume":"24 ","pages":"Article 103024"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142427907","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The two-dimensional honeycomb lattice graphene oxide nanosheets (GONSs) have received significant attention for drilling fluid applications. Adding a small quantity of GONSs into water-based drilling fluids can enhance their efficiency and properties. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the recent synthesizing methods of GO nanosheets. In addition, the rheological properties of water-based mud, such as plastic viscosity (PV), yield point (YP), and fluid loss will be examined using both unmodified and surface modified GONSs. The effect of GONSs on shale wellbore stability will also be analysed based on recent experimental studies. The results showed that incorporating GONSs in WBM has a significant impact on shale wellbore stability by physically plugging the nano-sized pores of shale formation. This minimizes the interaction between water molecules and shale formation and preventing shale hydration and swelling. The GONSs as WBM additives have enhanced the rheological and filtration properties. It also produces much more compacted filter cakes compared to those formed by conventional clay-based materials. However, future research should explore the use of GONSs in oil-based muds (OBMs), evaluate their properties, and compare the results with conventional WBMs. Additionally, most GO-WBM research studies were conducted on a laboratory scale, so it is necessary to be examined on an industrial scale.

This review paper examines the latest developments in the intersection of nanofluid and machine learning for heat transfer enhancement. This hybrid nanofluid-machine learning review investigates nanofluid heat transfer enhancement leveraged by machine learning both in porous media as well as heat exchangers. Several studies in porous media nanofluid transport utilize advanced methodologies that integrate machine learning and computational techniques. Machine learning and computational methods are employed to tackle complex thermodynamics, transport processes, and heat transfer challenges in complex multiphysics systems. An interesting hybrid nanofluid-machine learning application involves applying a machine learning method such as Support Vector Machine (SVM) to forecast movement of hybrid nanofluid flows across porous surfaces. Such hybrid nanofluid-machine learning technique involves utilising training data obtained from computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to decrease computational time and expenses. Machine learning offers a more efficient and cost-effective modelling for nanofluid heat transfer enhancement. Techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM) along with X-ray diffraction (XRD) are also often used for assessing the forms as well as nanocomposites configurations in heat exchangers while studying nanofluids. The importance of machine learning models, especially artificial neural networks (ANNs) and genetic algorithms, is evident in their ability to predict and optimize thermal performance of nanofluid application for nanofluid heat transfer enhancement. Furthermore, integrating nanofluids into various heat exchanger designs has demonstrated significant enhancements in efficiency, decreased energy usage, and total cost reduction. These achievements align with the research goal in sustainable and renewable energy, highlighting the critical role of nanofluid-enhanced heat exchange systems in tackling current difficulties related to energy efficiency and sustainability.
