[ 1 ] - Liquid-Liquid Equilibrium for the Ternary Systems of Solvent+ m/o/p-Cresol+Water: Thermodynamic Modeling
In this study, NRTL and UNIQUAC thermodynamic models were used to predict the composition of ternary mixtures of solvents+ m/o/p-cresol+ water in organic and aqueous phases. Various solvents are used for the separation of cresols from water. In this study, methyl propyl ketone, methyl isopropyl ketone, methyl butyl ketone, and methyl isobutyl ketone solvents were investigated. Intermolecular in...
[ 2 ] - Biodiesel: A Cost-effective Fuel Using Waste Materials
The main disadvantage of biodiesel is its high price. The price of biodiesel depends on various factors such as the price of oil, methanol, catalyst, and labor. Among dif-ferent economic factors, oil accounts for the largest share of input costs of biodiesel production. In this study, first, suitable heterogeneous catalysts were identified for biodiesel production. Several studies were carried ...
[ 3 ] - Using Artificial Neural Network for Estimation of Density and Viscosities of Biodiesel–Diesel Blends
In recent years, biodiesel has been considered as a good alternative of diesel fuels. Density and viscosity are two important properties of these fuels. In this study, density and kinematic viscosity of biodiesel-diesel blends were estimated by using artificial neural network (ANN). A three-layer feed forward neural network with Levenberg-Marquard (LM) algorithm was used for learning empirical ...
[ 4 ] - Estimation of Binary Infinite Dilute Diffusion Coefficient Using Artificial Neural Network
In this study, the use of the three-layer feed forward neural network has been investigated for estimating of infinite dilute diffusion coefficient ( D12 ) of supercritical fluid (SCF), liquid and gas binary systems. Infinite dilute diffusion coefficient was spotted as a function of critical temperature, critical pressure, critical volume, normal boiling point, molecular volume in normal boilin...
[ 5 ] - A New Correlation for Prediction of Wax Disappearance Temperature of Hydrocarbon Mixtures at Various Pressures
Wax precipitate is one of the most serious issues the oil industry is currently facing, since it can cause some troubles such as increasing of the pressure losses in pipe which subsequently increases the required power for pumpage. To remove this problem, prediction of wax disappearance temperature (WDT) seems necessary. In this study, the pressure influence on the wax disappearance temperatu...
[ 6 ] - Soybean Oil Transesterification Reactions in the Presence of Mussel Shell: Pseudo-First Order Kinetics
Calcium oxide is one of the appropriate catalysts for biodiesel production. In this study, cheap and compatible with environment catalyst has been used. Mussel shell of Persian Gulf coast is one of the sources of calcium carbonate that is converted to calcium oxide at calcination temperature up to 950°C. Transesterification reaction was carried out at optimum condition of our previous study...
[ 7 ] - PSO-ANFIS and ANN Modeling of Propane/Propylene Separation using Cu-BTC Adsorbent
In this work, an artificial neural network (ANN) model along with a combination of adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) i.e. (PSO-ANFIS) are proposed for modeling and prediction of the propylene/propane adsorption under various conditions. Using these computational intelligence (CI) approaches, the input parameters such as adsorbent shape (S<su...
