The exogenous lipoid pneumonia, uncommon in adults, is the result of the inhalation and/or aspiration of lipid material into the tracheobronchial tree. This is often confused with bacterial pneumonia and pulmonary tuberculosis due to a nonspecific clinical and radiologic picture. It presents acutely or chronically and may result in pulmonary fibrosis. We describe here a case of lipoid pneumonia...

background: the incomplete burning of fuel in engine of vehicles, evaporation of petrol from gas stations, and also car carburetor cause unburned hydrocarbons to be emitted in ambient air of cities and gas station locations. from unburned hydrocarbons; monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon influence to citizen's health and benzene is known as carcinogenic compounds. the objectives of this study are t...

background: iran is located in the seventh rank in terms of co2 emissions resulting from the fuel combustion in the world. gas compressor booster stations, due to the several sources of contaminants, are causing the release of large amounts of co2 and ch4, which will cause climate change therefore, estimating the emissions of the gases from oil and gas, different processing units are necessary....

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...

in this research, gasoline vapours including benzene, toluene, xylene (btx) and total volatile organic compounds (tvocs) emitted from vent pipes of underground storage tanks (usts) were measured at six gas stations in tehran. thereafter, gas station no. 29 was selected as a pilot station and equipped with a vapour control system. the vapours were measured during the summer of 2013 and winter of...

In recent years energy shortage and environmental impacts due to consuming fossil fuels have led to developing renewable energy sources systems. Since these sources are not reliable and are usually time dependent, an energy storing system like hydrogen production is required. In this regard, PEM electrolyzer can be efficiently used to decompose liquid water into hydrogen and oxygen. Because of ...

Original scientific paper The paper presents the possibility of electricity generation at the pressure reduction stations (PRS) in the conventional system of natural gas transmission and distribution. The main deficiency of the conventional system is its thermodynamic irreversibility, i.e. the loss of potential work that could be generated while reducing the gas pressure. Within the first part ...

When a heat exchanger in a Fast Breeder Reactor cracks, highly pressurized water or steam escapes into the surrounding liquid sodium. A sodium-water reaction then occurs, forming disodium oxide (and hydrogen gas). It can cause secondary damages to the heat exchangers by the reaction heat and erosion corrosion. The released flow of steam from the cracks of the heat exchanger is an underexpanded ...
