Herold, Associate Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering Mass and heat transfer enhancement by the addition of a class of surfactant additives is in common use in absorption machines based on aqueous lit...

a field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of varying doses of haloxifhope-r-methyl ester herbicide on grass weeds grown at various stages in 2011-2012 growing season in research farm of college of agriculture, shiraz university. the study was carried out as split split plot based on randomized complete block design with three replicates. treatments were haloxifhope-r-methyl ester ...

This paper presents Density Functional Theory and Non-Equilibrium Green’s Function based First Principles calculations to explore the sensing property of Adenine and Thymine based hetero-junction chins for Ammonia and Phosphine gas molecules. This modeling and simulation technique plays an important and crucial role in the fast growing semiconductor based nanotechnology field. The hetero-juncti...

Alternative methods for determining the critical micelle concentration (cmc) are investigated using canonical and grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations of a lattice surfactant model. A common measure of the cmc is the "free" (unassociated) surfactant concentration in the presence of micellar aggregates. Many prior simulations of micellizing systems have observed a decrease in the free surfact...

A greener method based on cloud point extraction was developed for removing phenol species including 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP), 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (2,4,6-TCP) and 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) in water samples by using the UV-Vis spectrophotometric method. The non-ionic surfactant DC193C was chosen as an extraction solvent due to its low water content in a surfactant rich phase and it is well-know...

The nonwoven industry is one of the most innovative and important branches global fiber products industry. However, use petrochemical-based materials in many leads to severe environmental issues such as generation microplastics. Synthetic material nonwovens currently around 66%. This review covers potential technologies for bio-based products. current relies heavily on synthetic binders fibers....

The Pisum sativum (PS), known as the green pea, was used in this investigation to produce a novel surfactant. performance of PS surfactant also evaluated using various tests, including contact angle, IFT, emulsion, zeta potential, and oil recovery factor measurement presence formation brine (FB) with total dissolved solid (TDS) 150,000 ppm. characterization study tests revealed that nonionic. c...

We searched the MEDLINE, CINAHL, and Cochrane Library databases for English-language randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews, and articles investigating surfactant replacement therapy published between January 1990 and July 2012. By inspection of titles, references having no relevance to the clinical practice guideline were eliminated. The update of this clinical practice guideline is ...
