Lattice gas automata (LGA) model is developed to simulate polymer adsorption process by adding some collision rules. The simulation result of the model is matched with batch experiment and compared with accepted isothermal adsorption equations. They show that the model is viable to perform simulation of the polymer adsorption process. The LGA model is then applied for simulating continuous poly...

The advantages in using catalytic hydrophobic membranes in bioreactors operating under non-isothermal conditions, process of thermodialysis, for remediation of aqueous systems polluted by Endocrine Disruptors are discussed and illustrated. In presence of a transmembrane temperature gradient the enzyme activity increases along the yield of the bioremediation process. The theoretical bases accoun...

We present here our observations and analysis of the dayside emission spectrum of the hot Jupiter WASP-103b. We observed WASP-103b during secondary eclipse using two visits of the Hubble Space Telescope with the G141 grism on Wide Field Camera 3 in spatial scan mode. We generated secondary eclipse light curves of the planet in both blended white-light and spectrally binned wavechannels from m 1...

The nitration process of salicylic acid for the production of the important intermediate 5-nitrosalicylic acid is studied from thermokinetic and safety points of view. Investigations carried out by considering, as process deviations, the loss of the thermal control point out the possibility of runaway phenomena due to the occurrence of polynitration reactions. Isothermal experiments are carried...

INTRODUCTION Mathematical modelling is a helpful tool to analyse complex systems, but its development and application to the composting process has been rather scarce up to date. The use of mathematical models is common in complex biological processes such as the activated sludge wastewater treatment and the anaerobic digestion process, both systems operating on a single isothermal phase. Compo...

Thermodynamic study on the interaction of β-CD with poly ethylene oxide and poly acrylic acid was performed by isothermal titration calorimetry at 298K. when β-CD is added to the interpolymer complex, competition is created between host-guest and Hydrogen bond. Enthalpy of interaction between the β-CD and interpolymer complex was calculated using the extended solvation theory. P=1 Shows that w...

This paper presents the results of experimental measurements and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations of the indoor environment of an open-plan office. The measurements were conducted in the Indoor Environment Research Facility (IERF) at IRC/NRC, in which six mock-up were setup to simulate an interior open-plan office. Two scenarios were investigated: isothermal and non-isothermal. Th...

We demonstrate a multiplexed loop mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay for infectious disease diagnostics, where the analytical process flow of target pathogens genomic DNA is performed manually by moving magnetic beads through a series of plugs in a capillary. Heat is provided by a water bath and the results are read by the naked eye, enabling applications in low resource settings.
