In this paper, vapor pressure for pure compounds is estimated using the Artificial Neural Networks and a simple Group Contribution Method (ANN–GCM). For model comprehensiveness, materials were chosen from various families. Most of materials are from 12 families. Vapor pressure data of 100 compounds is used to train, validate and test the ANN-GCM model. Va...

critical pulmonary valve stenosis (cpvs) and atrial septal defect (asd) is an uncommon form of congenital heart disease. concurrent transcatheter pulmonary valvuplasty and closure of secundum atrial septal defect appears to be an interesting alternative to surgical correction. we present the simultaneous balloon valvuloplasty of critical pulmonary stenosis (ps) with supra systemic right ventric...

in this paper, an analytical solution for computing the linear plastic stresses and critical temperature and pressure in a fgm hollow cylinder under the internal pressure and temperature is developed. it has been assumed that the modulus of elasticity and thermal coefficient of expansion were varying through thickness of the fgm material according to a power law relationship. the poisson's...

the conventional phase behavior study of petroleum reservoir fluids are valid when the reservoir temperature is far enough from the critical condition in which the material balance equation can be applied correctly. when the temperature of the reservoir is in the vicinity of the critical temperature the classical methods can’t determine the phase behavior of the mixture due to rapid phase chang...
