Restoring the Qanats as a Traditional Water Transfer System: A Sustainable Approach
In a wide range of the central boundaries of the Iranian plateau, encompassing an important part of the arid areas in Asia, the phenomenon of desertification is a long his tory. In this arid and waterless expanse, living conditions are fully dependent on access to water due to the supremacy of the Kavirs and deserts. The most important and oldest ways of obtaining water have been Qanat or Kariz...
متن کاملNonequilibrium water transport in a nonionic microemulsion system.
We used microsecond time scale atomistic simulations to study the relaxation dynamics of the microemulsion water/octane/C(9)E(3) system. In order to determine what transport mechanism occurs under the conditions of surfactant excess, we studied the system under a wide range of temperatures (7-88 °C) and showed that the surfactant acts as an effective solvent for water and carries out passive wa...
متن کاملPhloem transport in trees.
Phloem is like an enigmatic central banker: we know how important phloem is to plant function, but very little about how phloem functions as part of a whole-plant economy. Phloem transports carbohydrates, produced by photosynthesis and hydrolysis of reserve compounds, to sink tissues for growth, respiration and storage. At photosynthetic tissues, carbohydrates are loaded into phloem (Rennie and...
متن کاملTransport of a Liquid Water-Methanol Mixture in a Single Wall Carbon Nanotube
In this work, a molecular dynamics simulation of the transport of water - methanol mixture through the single wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) is reported. Methanol and water are selected as fluid molecules since water represents a strongly polar molecule while methanol is as an intermediate between polar and strongly polar molecules. Some physical properties of the methanol-water mixture such as r...
متن کاملKinetics of passive transport in water/membrane/water system. A mathematical description.
Passive transport across the lipid region of the membrane is considered to be one of the main mechanisms by which many solutes, especially xenobiotics, enter the cell (Stein 1981). Although the problem of mathematical description of the process has been intensively treated, it continues to be a subject of controversy. Some approaches do not take into account the solute accumulation in the membr...
