many earthquakes occur in iran every year and some of these earthquakes cause loss of life and property. consequently earthquake is one of challenging topics not only in iran but also in other active tectonic regions in the world. investigating the mechanism of earthquake as a natural disaster is the first and important step. to study earthquakes, different information such as geometry and beha...

Parameters from single-component isotherm models were used in multicomponent isotherm models to predict the aqueous phase sorption of trichloroethylene (TCE) in the presence of tetrachloroethylene (PCE) in four zeolites, Tenax, and three natural solids. The Langmuir, the Polanyi-Dubinin, and the Freundlich or the Langmuir-Freundlich isotherm models were used to simulate single-component sorptio...

This paper describes the effects of the elastic modulus and sliding velocity on the friction and shear fracture of smooth silanized rigid disks rotating against thin confined films of poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) elastomers. A rigid glass disk is rotated against thin PDMS films of different thicknesses and moduli bonded to a glass plate at various speeds. While the disk rotates on the PDMS coa...

among various reported membrane-based gas separation processes, the best explanation is generally achieved by the solution-diffusion model. the main factors in this model are the solubility and diffusivity of permeationcomponents through the membrane. the prediction of permeability and diffusivity in multicomponent gas permeation as well as the separation evaluation equilibrium and kinetic inte...

in the computational fluid dynamics (cfd) modeling of gas-solids two phase flow, the effect of boundary conditions play an important role in predicting the hydrodynamic characteristics of fluidized beds. in this work, the hydrodynamics of conical fluidized bed containing dried tio2 nano-agglomerates were studied both experimentally and computationally. the pressure drop was obtained by pressure...

This paper evaluates the suitability of a newly developed hybrid “Langmuir-Maxwell” and “LangmuirSmoluchowski” slip/jump boundary conditions in the Navier-Stokes-Fourier equations for nano/micro backward-facing step geometry flow which experiences separation and reattachment. Additionally, this paper investigates the effect of different parameters such as step pressure ratio, inflow temperature...
