where the functions ρ, u, θ and d represent the mass density,the velocity field, the absolute temperature and the unit vector field that represents the macroscopic molecular orientation of the liquid crystal material. P stands for the pressure, S denotes the viscous stress tensor. The positive constants ν, κ denote the competition between kinetic energy and potential energy, and microscopic ela...

in order to increase the rate of gas absorption, chemical reaction in the liquid phase is considered. the purpose of this paper was to simulate gas absorption process by a liquid film over a spherical packing incorporating eddy viscosity and diffusivity. second order chemical reaction for two different cases (fast and slow) were considered. the system partial differential equations obtained was...

OBJECTIVE Benzodiazepines are frequently screened drugs in emergency toxicology, drugs of abuse testing, and in forensic cases. As the variations of benzodiazepines concentrations in biological samples during bleeding, postmortem changes, and redistribution could be biasing forensic medicine examinations, hence selecting a suitable sample and a validated accurate method is essential for the qua...

in this study, a high-performance liquid chromatographic method (hplc) and uv spectrophotometric method were developed, validated and applied for the determination of theophylline in biological fluids. liquid- liquid extraction is performed for isolation of the drug and elimination of plasma and saliva interferences. urine samples were applied without any extraction. the chromatographic separat...

gas-lift pumps are devices for lifting liquid phase incorporating the gas phase to be injected in the bottom of liquid column. they are widely used in various industrial applications such as oil extracting in petroleum industries. gas-liquid flow being the main part of the flow through these systems, flowing in vertical pipes of gas-lift pumps has different regimes namely bubbly, slug, churn an...

A rapid, simple and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatography method was developed for determination of ciprofloxacin in plasma by means of ultraviolet detection. Ofloxacin was used as an internal standard and separation carried on a Novapak C18 column using a mobile phase of 0.01 M phosphate buffer (pH =2.6): methanol (82: 18 v/v). Extraction of drug was performed from plasma by liquid-...

a simple, rapid and efficient dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction by use of ionic liquid (il-dllme)method, followed by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (faas) was developed for the preconcentrationand determination of palladium in water samples. in this method, an appropriate mixture of acetone and octylmethyl imidazolium hexafluorophosphate was injected rapidly into the aqueous sample...
