The present study is concerned with measuring and simulating soot formation and combustion in turbulent liquid fuel spray flames. Soot concentrations inside the combustor are measured by filter paper technique. The simulation is based on the solution of the fully-coupled conservation equations for turbulent flow, chemical species kinetic modeling, fuel droplet evaporation and combustion and...

  This study was aimed to investigate effects of aqueous citric acid (CA) and ascorbic acid (AA) on lipid oxidation in comparison with effect of vacuum packaging in order to find better treatment to delay improper changes in the Persian sturgeon (Acipenser persicus) fillets during frozen storage due to lipid oxidation. In this study traditional packaging, vacuum packaging, ascorbic acid solutio...

Abstract Recently alcohol fuel cells has been increased consideration because of their environmental friendliness, high energy conversion efficiency and low emissions. Many effort have been made to improve the electro-oxidation performance of alcohols such as methanol, ethanol and propanol. In this work, a new method for ethanol oxidation based on core–shell titanium dioxide / carbon nanofib...

Oxidation behavior of AZ91D magnesium alloy with 3YSZ coating and aluminum interlayer was studied in air at 250 °C using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy EIS, scanning electron microscopy SEM, and X-ray diffraction XRD. The oxidation process was carried out in various duration times from 1 to 10 h. A three-electrode electrochemical cell was employed for all the EIS measurements. Also, to ...

In this study, the effects of some factors on bacterial growth and ferrous oxidation rates were investigated by Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidan in 250 ml shake flasks. One factor at a time (OFAT) design approach was used for preliminary evaluation of various factors affecting the process, such as pH, initial ferrous and elemental sulfur concentrations, shaker agitation rate, and liquid to flask v...

the effect of salinity on organic removal and ammonium oxidation in a down-flow hanging sponge reactor was investigated by conducting a long-term continuous experiment over a period of 800 days. the dhs reactor, constructed by connecting three identical units, was fed with artificial wastewater containing 500 mg-n/l of ammonium nitrogen and 1400 mg- cod/l of phenol. salinity of the influent wa...

wastewater treatment and re-use of industrial process water are critical issues for the developmentof human activities and environment conservation. the present study was undertaken to evaluate the degradationof organic pollutants taking phenol as the model compound over aluminium pillared montmorillonite and therare earth exchanged analogues, underlining the use of environ friendly clay cataly...

the aerobic oxidation of alcohols was efficiently completed in high conversion and selectivity using cu3/2[pmo12o40]/sio2 as catalyst under mild reaction condition. this reaction provides a new environmentally friendly rout to the conversion of alcoholic function to carbonyl groups.
