Energy is one of the primary inputs in textile processing industries that have a significant impact on the cost of a cotton product. The energy cost-share is reported between 5-10% of the total production cost of woven cotton fabric in textile factories of developed countries. However, it is far higher in developing countries. This study aims to contribute to the understanding of energy use and...

the our purpose of objective is evaluation and comparison the energy flow in wheat lands of cities in alborz province. we try to calculate the indexes of energy ratio, gross energy, specific energy, energy efficiency, energy intensity, total input and output energy. population of the study consisted of farmers of cities in alborz province in the year of 1391-92. it was a best way that we use po...

in the present study, shearing properties of sugar cane stems were determined at five moisture content levels (46, 54, 62, 70 and 78% wb), three shearing speed (5, 10 and 15 mm min-1) and at ten positions on the stem. for measuring the shearing forces, the stems were severed by using a computer aided cutting apparatus. decrease in moisture content of stem from 78 to 46% wb led to 16.3 and 16.7%...

A method based on extensive laboratory and field measurements was developed to determine the dependence of specific rock cutting energy (SEc) drilling (SEd) for machines with different operating design characteristics similar breaking mechanics. Laboratory were performed a linear device drill, using measurement system measure electrical power forces force/torque transducers. Field consumption c...

The synthesis, structure, and photophysical properties of a new family of trinuclear CuRe(2) chromophore-quencher complexes having the general form [Cu(pyacac)(2)(Re(bpy')(CO)(3))(2)](OTf)(2) (where pyacac = 3-(4-pyridyl)-acetylacetonate and bpy' = 4,4'-5,5'-tetramethyl-2,2'-bipyridine (tmb, 1), 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine (dmb, 2), 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy, 3), 4,4'-dichloro-2,2'-bipyridine (dcl...

Mechanical machining processes are common manufacturing strategies to re-shape materials to desired specification. The mechanistic approach has revealed the mechanics of the machining processes with various parameters determined. The aim of this work is to investigate the impact of swept angle optimization and their influence on the specific cutting energy in milling AISI 1045 steel alloy. This...

jujube (zizyphus jujube mill), a valuable medicinal plant, is consumed either as fresh fruit or dried product in iran. drying jujube guarantees a longer shelf time while preserving its quality to be used in medical and pharmaceutical industries. in this research paper, the influence of several drying conditions on the effective moisture diffusivity, activation energy, energy consumption and req...
