This study was conducted to identify factors affecting patient safety management (PSM) of nursing student's who have experienced clinical practice. The study subjects were 232 nursing students in five universities in five cities. Data were collected between June 17 and July 30, 2019 using by completing structured self report questionnaires. Data were analyzed using T-test, ANOV A, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression using SPSS/WIN 22.0. In correlation ana lysis, significant positive correlations were found between PSM practice, PSM importance awareness (r= .42, p<.001), PSM knowledge(r= .29, p<.001), and PSM attitude(r= .35, p<.001). In multiple regressi on analysis, PSM importance awareness(β=.19, p<.001) was factor predicting PSM practice of nursing students, which explained 36.2% of the variance in the model. Thus, we emphasize that continuing PSM education at the university is required to improve PSM competency.

Numerical study was performed to investigate the convective heat transfer of Al₂O₃/water nanofluid flowing through the concentric double pipe counterflow heat exchangers. Hot fluid flowing through the inner pipe transfers its heat to cooling fluid flowing in the outer pipe. Effects of important parameters such as hot and cold volume flow rates, fluid type in the outer and inner pipes, and nanoparticles concentration on the heat transfer and flow characteristics are investigated. The results indicated that the heat transfer performance increases with increasing the hot and cold volume flow rates, as well as the particle concentrations. When both outer and inner pipes are nanofluids with 8% nanoparticle volume concentration, nanofluids showed up to 17% better heat transfer rate than basic fluids. Also, the average heat transfer coefficient of the base fluid for annulus-side improved by 31%. Approximately 20% enhancement in the heat exchanger effectiveness can be achieved with the addition of 8% alumina particles in base fluid. But, addition of nanoparticles to the base fluid enhanced friction factor by about 196%.

Laminar mixed convection of a nanofluid consists of water and $Al_2O_3$ in a horizontal circular tube has been studied numerically. Two-phase mixture model has been used to investigate hydrodynamic and thermal behaviors of the nanofluid with variables physical properties. Three dimensional Navier-Stokes, energy and volume fraction equations have been discretized using the finite volume method. The Brownian motions of nanoparticles have been considered to determine the thermal conductivity and dynamic viscosity of $Al_2O_3$-Water nanofluid, which depend on temperature. The calculated results show good agreement with the previous numerical data. Results show that in a given Reynolds number (Re), increasing solid nanoparticles volume fraction and Richardson number (Ri) increases the convective heat transfer coefficient and wall shear stress.
