phase inversion in liquid-liquid dispersions corresponds to the transitional boundary between oil-in-aqueous dispersion and aqueous-in-oil dispersion. a theoretical model based on simple assumptions was proposed to predict phase inversion point, ambivalence region and the hysteresis effect of inversion. experimental data from the literature were used to validate the model and results were compa...

energy crisis, global warming and other environmental issues are what motivate researchers to find new strategies to reduce energy consumption in buildings. recently, using phase change materials (pcm) in the building’s envelopes has drawn significant attention as an energy-saving method, which helps in increasing the building’s thermal capacity. in the present research, the effects of the main...

structural sandwich beams are widely used because of their high specific stiffness and strength, noise reduction, thermal insulation and impact energy absorption characteristics. conventional manufacturing method of composite sandwich structures is completed by a separate adhesive joining stage by which the composite faces are joined to the core. in this investigation, liquid phase sintering in...

the objective of this research is to develop an accurate numerical method to be used in showing the deformation of a liquid fuel droplet in a convective field. to simultaneously solve the internal liquid droplet flow field as well as the external gas phase flow field, a nonstaggered rectangular grid system without any coordinate transformation is used. transition from the gas field to the liqui...
