in this work, the solubility of nicotine extracted from tobacco leaves, found in the north of iran, in supercritical carbon dioxide has been measured. also the effects of pressure, temperature, extraction dynamic time, and the organic co-solvent on the amount of nicotine extracted from tobacco leaves have been investigated. it should be stressed that in order to reduce significantly the number ...

a viscosity model, based on eyring’s absolute rate theory combined with a cubic pr equation of state and wong-sandler mixing rule, has been proposed in order to correlate viscosities of aqueous solutions of alkanolamine mixtures at atmospheric pressure and different temperatures. in the proposed method, the energy and size parameters in studied equation of state (eos) have been obtained using t...

asphaltenes are the n-pentane or n-heptane insoluble fractions of crude oil that remain in solution under reservoir temperature and pressure conditions. they are destabilized and start to precipitate when the pressure, temperature and/or composition changes occur during primary production. the precipitated asphaltene particles will then grow in size and may start to deposit onto the production ...

a statistical mechanical based equation of state has been employed to calculate the liquid density of lead, mercury, bismuth and lead-bismuth and lead-lithium eutectic alloys.the equation is basically that of song, mason and ihm [ihm g, song y, mason ea. j. chem. phys.1991; 94: 3839] which is modified by ghatee and boushehri. three temperature dependent parameters are required to use this equat...

with the rise of importance of sport as a social phenomenon in recent decades, more public attention has been paid to the issue of the legal nature of the rules governing social relations in sports. the issue raised above are only a part of a much broader topic that involves questions of relations of a classical westphalian state and changes in the international community as well as issues of t...

Introduction: The present study was conducted to obtain State diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) of five routine computed tomography (CT) examinations from two CT centers in Ondo State and to identify factors responsible for dose variation and escalation in these CT centers. Material and Methods: Acquisition parameters and CT dose indices wer...

In this paper, a novel method for ranking of fuzzy numbers are proposed. In this method, decision maker is defined based on the center of mass at some cuts of a pair of fuzzy numbers in discreet version and center of mass on all of cuts of a pair of fuzzy numbers in continuous version. Our method can rank more than two fuzzy numbers simultaneously. Also, some properties of methods are described...
