[ 1 ] - Morphology Change and Structural ‎Evaluation of Carbon Nanostructures

   In this study, the change of porosity and roughness of carbon nanostructures, including fullerenes, carbon nanotubes and graphene was investigated according to oxidation process. The effect of oxidation was more sensible on smoother surface of nanostructures. Oxidation increases surface roughness of graphene up to 5.2% and porosity up to 35.2%. While, roughness of hummers graphene is 13....

[ 2 ] - Effect of Functionalization Process on Thermal Conductivity of Graphene Nanofluids

   In this research, Graphene was synthesized by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method in atmosphere pressure (14.7 psi). Different functionalization method was used for oxidizing of graphene such as acid and alkaline treatments. The Functionalized graphene (FG) was characterized by FTIR and Raman spectroscopy. Nanofluid with water and different concentration (0.05, 0.15 and 0.25 wt %) of ...

[ 3 ] - Short-term and Medium-term Gas Demand Load Forecasting by Neural Networks

The ability of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) for estimating the natural gas demand load for the next day and month of the populated cities has shown to be a real  concern. As the most applicable network, the ANN with multi-layer back propagation perceptrons is used to approximate functions. Throughout the current work, the daily effective temperature is determined, and then the weather data w...

[ 4 ] - Development of Hydrate Formation Phase Envelope: An Experimental Approach in One of the Iranian Gas Reservoirs

Iran's proved natural gas reserves are the world's second largest reserves. Mainly, because of different climate changes and different reservoirs characterizations, studying the behavior of producing outcome fluids and their transportation, is of major interest. One of the main problems occur in the gas reservoirs is related to the hydrate formation while producing from a well, either in produc...

[ 5 ] - Production of Activated Carbon from Cellulose Wastes

Cellulose wastes of a wood and paper factory were used to produce activated carbon. Several chemical agents under various conditions were used for production of activated carbon and hence their adsorption properties have been evaluated. In addition the effect of process parameters such as raw material, chemical agent concentration, impregnation ratio, carbonization temperature, carbonization ti...

[ 6 ] - A New Resistance Model for Interpretation of Gas Permeation Data of Composite and Asymmetric Membranes

In this work a new resistance model has been presented based on that of Henis-Tripodi which can be used for interpretation of gas permeation data in composite and asymmetric membranes. In contrast to the previous works, in this model the fraction of the support layer surface that includes the pores filled with coating material has been taken into account. The influences of the filled pores on s...

[ 7 ] - A Comparative Survey of Modeling Absorption Tower Using Mixed Amines

In natural gas treatment, the removal of CO2 and H2S in acid gases is a critical concern. There are various purification technologies that can be used for the removal of acid gas impurities. Absorption of acid gas into amines is one preferred method in gas industries. In the past, single amines was used, but recently in order to improve absorption performance, mixed amines with different solubi...

[ 8 ] - The Synthesis of Carbon Nano Tubes by Arc Discharge Method in Liquid media

In this investigation a simplified arc discharge apparatus was used to synthesize mullti-wall carbon nanotubes. Because of not requiring vacuum equipment, heat exchange system, active or inert gases, this method is found to be cheaper and simpler than traditional arc discharge in gas environment. Using this method, CNTs are produced by performing an arc discharge between two graphite electrodes...

[ 9 ] - بررسی اثر گــــــرافن نانومتخلخل بر غنـــی سازی هیــدرات گـــازی

در این تحقیق پس از بررسی ساختار گرافن نانومتخلخل با آنالیز SEM و رامان، از این نانوساختار گرافنی با غلظت 1% وزنی در فرآیند تشکیل هیدرات گازی استفاده شد. برای ایجاد و افزایش پایداری گرافن در آب، سورفکتانت SDS به کار رفت. نانوسیال در مجاورت گاز طبیعی تحت فشار psig 1000 و دمای C°4 قرار گرفت و با گذشت زمان هیدرات گازی درون راکتور تشکیل شد. ملاحظه شد که گرافن نانومتخلخل، ضمن کاهش زمان فرآیند القا، ذ...

[ 10 ] - بررسی اثر نانوساختار فولرن بر فرایند تشکیل هیدرات گاز طبیعی

در این مقاله نانوساختار فولرن توسط فرآیند کراشمر- هافمن با مکانیسم قوس الکتریکی در محیط آزمایشگاهی سنتز شد. به منظور استفاده در فرآیند تشکیل هیدرات گازی و بررسی تاثیر آن بر راندمان فرآیند و حجم ذخیره‌سازی، ابتدا نانوسیال با غلظت 1% ‌وزنی تهیه شد. از آنجائی‌که فولرن در آب پایدار نیست، از سورفکتانت SDS استفاده گردید و مشاهده شد نانوسیال مربوطه دارای پایداری خوبی است. در فرآیند تشکیل هیدرات از گاز...

[ 11 ] - Purified and Functionalized MWCNTs: Application In CO2/CH4 Separation Using Mixed Matrix Membranes

   To fabricate a defect free and high performance mixed matrix membrane (MMM), one approach is the functionalization of inorganic nanofillers (as dispersed phase) in the organic polymer matrix (as continuous phase) to modify the interactions between two phases.  For this purpose,, raw multi-walled carbon nanotubes (rMWCNTs) were purified by acid mixture (HNO3/H2SO<sub...

[ 12 ] - Application of Supercritical Fluid ‎Technology for Preparation of Drug Loaded ‎Solid Lipid Nanoparticles

   Small changes in pressure or temperature, close to the critical point, lead to large changes in solubility of supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2). Environmentally friendly supercritical CO2 is the most popular and inexpensive solvent which has been used for preparation of nanodrugs and nanocarriers in drug delivery system with supercritical fluid technology. Delivery...
