long-throated flumes are measurement structures often used in water and wastewater systems to determine the flow discharge. the head-discharge relationship of long-throated flumes is traditionally determined following the critical flow theory and the boundary layer concept. after a review of the traditional approach and an analysis of the approximate assumptions of the boundary layer approach, ...

in this study thin layer drying of corn in a convective dryer was investigated at air temperatures of 50, 60 and 70ºc and air flow rates of 1, 1.4 and 1.8 kg min-1. experiments were performed in completely randomized design (crd). the effect of air temperature and flow rate on drying time, drying rate, effective diffusivity coefficient and activation energy were studied. results showed that the...

A few comments are made on the role of nonperturbative and perturbative power corrections. This is followed by a description of energy flow observables and correlations that may provide a flexible approach to rapidity distributions in hadronic scattering. 1 From Factorized Cross Sections to Classical Fields This short talk describes a modest attempt to synthesize one or two of the ideas exchang...

natural ventilation is one of the best and the cheapest methods of ventilation that is accomplished by production of natural air flow inside of building. in iran traditional architecture, natural ventilation had been an important part of building designing but nowadays wind energy optimum usage has disregarded because of buildings congestion. rasht in gilan province is placed in a moderate and ...

To control the quality of reverse osmosis (RO) product water and reduce operational costs and environmental impacts by increasing the system’s energy efficiency, it is necessary to identify the influence of process parameters on energy consumption and permeate water quality. This paper introduces a case study focused on the application of Design of Experiments (DOE) method in an industrial-scal...

sustainable development of the production in every region requires consideration of energy flow in the production system, moreover, investigating the production system inputs from environmental management point of view is of high importance. in this study energy use and greenhouse gas emissions is investigated. data were collected through interviews with 75 tea farmers and comparing the results...
