Dynamic modeling and simulation of fixed bed adsorption process was carried out by explaining the behavior of breakthrough curve parameter. Adsorption of sulfur compound, present in road fuel, has posed a great challenge. A model of fixed bed adsorption of benzothiophene from fuel was formulated with non-ideal plug flow behavior and considered velocity variation along a column. The model was so...

hot-wire spirometer uses a constant temperature anemometer (cta) for its operation. the working principle of cta, used for the measurement of fluid velocity and flow turbulence, is based on convective heat transfer from a hot-wire sensor to a fluid being measured. the calibration curve of a cta is nonlinear and cannot be easily extrapolated beyond its calibration range. therefore, a method for ...

Modeling of stream flow–suspended sediment relationship is one of the most studied topics in hydrology due to itsessential application to water resources management. Recently, artificial intelligence has gained much popularity owing toits application in calibrating the nonlinear relationships inherent in the stream flow–suspended sediment relationship. Thisstudy made us of adaptive neuro-fuzzy ...

In the hot compression test friction has a detrimental influence on the flow stress through the process and therefore, correcting the deformation curve for real behavior is very important for both researchers and engineers. In this study, a series of compression tests were simulated using Abaqus software. In this study, it has been employed the Taguchi method to design experiments by the factor...

introduction 3d reconstruction of an object from its 2d cross-sections (slices) has many applications in different fields of sciences such as medical physics and biomedical engineering. in order to perform 3d reconstruction, at first, desired boundaries at each slice are detected and then using a correspondence between points of successive slices surface of desired object is reconstructed. mate...

Aqueous solutions of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and sodium salicylate (NaSal) were made to flow through two-dimensional slots and a capillary, and pressure losses ∆P were measured under various conditions to investigate its flow properties. In the results with slot flow, the flow curves relating ∆P to the apparent elongational rate consisted of three characteristic regions. In the fi...

in this study, in order to consider the effects of cash flow fluctuations on project profitability, the new risk kind indicators are proposed to assess projects risk. firstly, project cash flow calculates on the basis of cost and revenue data in an lng project. then distribution curves of two variables, oil price and interest rate of foreign loans, are utilized to determine distribution curve o...
