Imbibition of liquids into porous media has significant importance to many processes. For example one application is the propellant management device (PMD), or liquid acquisition device (LAD), located within spacecraft tanks [1, 7]. The PMDs are designed to ensure gas free delivery of propellant during all mission accelerations. This is done by using a porous medium, a metallic mesh, which prev...

the preparation of air–fuel mixture is considerably dependent on fluid flow dynamics to achieve improved performance, efficiency, and engine combustion in the appearance of flow. in this study, the effects of mixtures of hydrogen and compressed natural gas (cng) on a spark ignition engine are numerically considered. this article presents the results of a direct-injection engine using methane–hy...

rigorous mathematical modeling of adsorption processes in packed beds involves time-consuming computations which are considered as the fundamental weakness of such thorough mathematical models. thus, reducing the computation time was a key factor in improving adsorption mathematical models. in order to achieve this goal, an attempt was made to know how much using different numerical methods inf...

in this paper, first design and analysis history of full metal cng cylinders for vehicle are investigated. next with respect to the cng worldwide standards, a full metal type cylinder is designed and analysed. then the numerical analysis results and practical results are compared, and the correctness of the investigation is verified. in the end, the most suitable alloy with respect to the dimen...

In this work, the PC-SAFT equation of state (EoS) has been used to model the solubility of acid gases (CO2 and H2S) in two imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs) ([C8-mim][PF6] and [C8-mim][Tf2N]). Parameters of pure ILs were estimated using experimental densities. Two strategies were considered to model densities of pure ILs. In strategy 1, ILs were modeled as nonassociating compounds and in st...

The electrochemical behaviour of highly toxic hydrogen chloride (HCl) gas has been investigated in six room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) containing imidazolium/pyrrolidinium cations and range of anions on a Pt microelectrode using cyclic voltammetry (CV). HCl gas exists in a dissociated form of H(+) and [HCl2](-) in RTILs. A peak corresponding to the oxidation of [HCl2](-) was observed, re...

The preservation and demonstration of anatomical specimens that retain much of their natural features has been a long-standing goal of anatomists, pathologists and other medical educators. Preservation of most biological tissues is performed using liquids such as formaldehyde, alcohol, and glycerin. Although these commonly used liquids are efficient, they have many disadvantages (Baptista et al...

A new type of apparatus for the production of single bubbles of adjustable size is presented. A single bubble is generated by injecting a short burst of gas into a liquid channel flow. The radius of the bubble can be varied continuously from 300 mm up to a 3 mm by adjusting the timing of a valve injecting the gas. The device works also in liquids with variable pressure and can be microcomputer ...
