composite solid propellants were prepared with and without nano-alloys (ti-co, ti-ni, ti-zn), where nano-alloys used as catalyst. these nano-alloys are prepared by hydrazine reduction method. catalytic properties of these nanomaterials were measured on ammonium perchorate/hydroxyterminatedpolybutadiene propellant by thermogravimetery analysis and differential thermal analysis. both experimental...

mercaptans are commonly present in petroleum products. their foul odor and highly corrosive nature make them the most undesirable sulfur compounds so they should be removed because of environmental issues. merox process is used for oxidation of mercaptans to disulfide using air in the presence of alkaline solution and merox catalyst. in this paper, due to lack of information about the kinetic o...

to observe the feasibility of the removal of carmine, peanut husk, an agriculture by-product, was crosslinked with epichlorohydrin in alkaline medium and used for adsorption of carmine from aqueous solution. batch experiments were carried out to study the effects of various parameters such as initial ph, contact time, adsorbent dosage and initial carmine concentration, as well as temperature on...

in this paper, changes of casson non-newtonian fluid velocity profile, for different distribution of porosity, have been investigated. for distribution of porosity, fixed, radial and exponential variations has been considered. for all three states, brinkman model has been used as momentum equation. since the casson fluid is a good model for blood, this analysis can be used in studying about cho...

Introduction: In laser surgery, the laser beam can evaporate and cut the tissue like a small surgical knife when the tissue temperature is heated to 100 degrees Celsius. a complete understanding of the distribution of damage in both pathologic tissue and surrounding tissue is necessary. Although the test is the most realistic solution for treating medical problems, for this rea...

the release rate of potassium (k) from micaceous minerals plays a significant role in supplying k to plants. the objective of this study was to determine the most appropriate kinetic equation to describe potassium release from micaceous minerals as influenced by organic acids. muscovite and phlogopite were made to react with 0, 500, 2000 and 4000 ?m solutions of oxalic, citric and malic acids f...

The traditional rental adjustment equation is ̄ awed in that the equilibrium paths for the adjustm ent of rents and vacancy rates cannot hold simultaneously over time. This paper suggests a two-equation model of rental adjustm ents based on adaptive expectation s rather than the single-equation model presen ted in the traditional literatu re, and provides empirical tests. Annual data from the ho...

The global nth order rate equation has been criticized for lack of theoretical basis and has been shown to be inadequate for modeling char oxidation rates as a function of total gas pressure. The simple Langmuir rate equation is believed to have more potential for modeling high pressure char oxidation. The intrinsic Langmuir rate equation is applied to graphite flake oxidation data and agrees w...
