today, extra tropical cyclones are recognized not only for the important influence they exert on midlatitude weather conditions but also for their integral role in the earth’s climate system. (gary luckmann, 2012). extra tropical cyclones are fundamental meteorological features and play a key role in a broad range of weather phenomena. they are a central component maintaining the global atmosph...

in this research, process asymmetric polyetherimide hollow fiber membranes using ethanol (0, 2 and 4 wt%) as non-solvent additive in the polymer dope via phase inversion method were fabricated. aqueous solution of 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidine (nmp) (90%) was applied as a bore fluid to avoid inner skin layer formation and water was used as the external coagulant. the morphology of fabricated membranes...

comin the present study, co2 removal from natural gas stream has been studied using a flat sheet membrane contactor. a three dimensional mathematical model is developed to describe the process. the model considers the transport of a gas mixture containing carbon dioxide and methane through a flat sheet membrane contactor module. the model is based on the non-wetted mode of operation, in which t...

In this study, hydrogen was recovered and purified by using a membrane contactor unit from CO2-rich gas without the use of any basic chemicals such as amines. The operational parameters were adjusted to achieve high CO2 removal H2 recovery. effects flow rate, pressure, composition (CO2/H2 ratio), pressure difference between liquid gas, gas/liquid ratio on recovery investigated. Depending contac...

The work studied the characteristics of membrane catalysts in reaction methane carbonate conversion as a model reaction. This process produces synthesis gas (a 1:1 mixture Н 2 and СО), which can be used to make many products, including synthetic fuels (in FischerTropsch process). One serious problems is presence side reactions that prevent production with required ratio products (H :CO=1:1).Mem...

Effect of fractional gas hold-up εG on volumetric mass transfer coefficient KLa were studied for two different type of airlift contactors conventional and modified. KLa was directly proportional to gas hold-up within bubbly flow regime (UG < 0.075 m/s ) in conventional one but reverse trend ( inversely proportional) was reported in modified airlift contactor. Mathematical relation between KLa a...

In this paper a new process is presented for improving efficiency of cyclone de-dusting systems. The cyclone is coupled with a specially designed cylindrical chamber which includes a rotating tube inside it with air impinging nuzzles, drilled on the peripheral surface of the tube. The nuzzles help in pushing and throwing the particles to the outer radius distances during downward flow of du...

Cyclone is a safe dialect of C. It has been designed from the ground up to prevent the buffer overflows, format string attacks, and memory management errors that are common in C programs, while retaining C’s syntax and semantics. This paper examines safety violations enabled by C’s design, and shows how Cyclone avoids them, without giving up C’s hallmark control over low-level details such as d...

5) Two metrics were evaluated to determine trends over the past twenty years. The first metric is the Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) index, which is the maximum sustained wind speed squared at six-hour intervals. ACE represents an approximation of the kinetic energy generated by a tropical cyclone. ACE correlates globally at 0.97 with Emanuel’s PDI index which is the wind speed cubed at six-h...

A microporous polypropylene (PP) hollow fiber membrane contactor was used as a reactor to biodegrade phenol in high-salinity solutions by Pseudomonas putida CCRC14365 at 30C. Suspended cells grew only at a NaCl concentration below 2.5 wt%. On the other hand, cells within hollow fibers completely degraded 0.5 g/L of phenol in solution containing NaCl up to 8.6 wt%, likely due to the fact that th...
