[ 1 ] - Methanol synthesis catalyst manufacturing using the green solid-state method
In this research study, methanol synthesis catalysts were manufactured with various mole ratios of metal carbonates (zinc, copper and aluminum carbonate) and ammonium hydrogen carbonate via a green solid-state method that employed a ball mill apparatus. Some parameters for the catalyst preparation, such as Al mole percent, Cu/Zn mole ratio, rotations milling speeds and aging time, were optimize...
[ 2 ] - Numerical study of influence of type of nanoparticles and volume fraction on turbulent heat transfer coefficient and pressure loss inter a tube
The conventional liquids have some limitations regarding the thermal properties. The nanoparticles addition is one of the techniques which can modify them. In this research, heat transfer coefficient (h) and pressure loss (Δp) of various nanofluids containing Al2O3, SiO2 and MgO nanoparticles dispersed in water in an annular tube with constant wall temperature were numerically considered. Accor...
[ 3 ] - Ibuprofen Removal from a Pharmaceutical Wastewater using Electro-Fenton Process: An Efficient Technique (RESEARCH NOTE)
The aim of this research was to evaluate the effective parameters such as pH, current density (mA/cm2), H2O2/Fe2+ molar ratio, volume ratio of H2O2 to pharmaceutical wastewater (PhW) (ml/l) and reaction time (min) on the electro-Fenton process for the ibuprofen (as a pharmaceutical waste in water) removal. Since a synthetic wastewater with the same concentration of ibuprofen in a real pharmaceu...
[ 4 ] - Application of Iron Electrode in Textile Industry Wastewater Treatment Using Electro-fenton Technique: Experimental and Statistical Study
The application of synthetic colors in textile industries and their entry into the water and groundwater is an environmental problem because of being very toxic material. The synthetic colors which are used in textile dyeing (plyacrilic and polyester) are usually dispersing colorants. They derive the azo and anthraquinone chemicals. Electro-Fenton process is an efficient technique which can deg...
[ 5 ] - Numerical Comparison of Turbulent Heat Transfer and Flow Characteristics of SiO2/Water Nanofluid within Helically Corrugated Tubes and Plain Tube
Turbulent heat transfer in Helically Corrugated Tubes (HCT) was numerically investigated for pure water and SiO2 nanofluid using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). This study was carried out for different corrugating pitches (5, 7, 8 mm) and heights (0.5, 0.75, 1.25 mm) at various Reynolds numbers ranging from 5000 to 13300. The effect of nanoparticles on heat transfer augmentation for plain t...
[ 6 ] - Prediction of Gas Hydrate Formation using HYSYS Software (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Gas hydrates attracted worldwide attention due to their potential as huge energy resource in the recent decades. Effective parameters which influence the formation of hydrates are high pressure, low temperature and water presence. HYSYS software is one of the major simulators which are widely used in the chemical and thermodynamic processes. This research was conducted to simulate gas hydrate f...
[ 7 ] - Modeling of TiO2-water Nanofluid Effect on Heat Transfer and Pressure Drop
This paper reports a numerical study on the force convection heat transfer and flow characteristics of a nanofluid containing water and Tio2 with various volume fractions (0.002
[ 8 ] - Simulation of Convective Heat Transfer of a Nanofluid in a Circular Cross-section
The CFD simulation of heat transfer characteristics of a nanofluid ina circular tube under convective heat transferwas considered using the fluentsoftware (version 6.3.26) in the laminar flow. Al2O3nano- particles in water with concentrations of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2 and 2.5% were studied in the simulation. All thermo-physical properties of nanofluids were temperature independent. It was concluded t...
[ 9 ] - Supercritical Fluid Extraction of Carotenoid from Microalgae with Projected Thermodynamic Models (RESEARCH NOTE)
In this study, two thermodynamic models (regular solution theory and equation of state) were applied to obtain carotenoid solubility in the supercritical carbon dioxide solvent. Theoretical data obtained from the models were compared with the experimental data extracted from a published paper. The use of equation of state as an empirical correlation for collating and predicting liquidliquid and...
[ 10 ] - Pharmaceutical Wastewater Chemical Oxygen Demand Reduction: Electro-Fenton, UV-enhanced Electro-Fenton and Activated Sludge
In this study, Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) from a pharmaceutical wastewater (PhW) was reduced by several techniques such as electro-Fenton (EF), photo electro-Fenton (PEF) and activated sludge (AS) processes and the obtained data were compared with each other. The effects of several parameters such as pH, current density, H2O2/Fe2+ molar ratio, volume ratio of ...
