the photocatalytic activity of nano-bi2o3 was evaluated in degradation of rhodamine b (rhb) as a model of dye pollutant from waste waters. nano sized bi2o3 was synthesized using the chemical precipitation method. the as-prepared sample was characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem) and fourier transform infrared spectrometry (ft-ir). structural analysis reveale...

the reduction of fe2o3 powder at the top layer by the volatiles from high volatile (hv) bituminous coalat the bottom layer of a multilayer powder geometry including a separating alumina layer was studied.the simultaneous effects of the alumina layer thickness, time, temperature and the weight of coal onthe amount of reduction and coal devolatilization were studied by implementing a rotatable ce...

In this work,The free nonlinear vibrations of nanotubes using the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory along with the von Kármán geometric nonlinearity in presence of surface effects has been investigated. Natural frequencies of a simply-supported nanotube in terms of the Jacobi elliptic functions are obtained by using the free vibration modes of the corresponding linear problem. The numerical results d...

a practical application of the spherical involute surface to the forged straight bevel gears is provided and demonstrated in this work. conjugate (pure involute) theoretical surfaces are developed from the input design parameters. the surfaces are modified to suit the actual application (automotive differential). the unloaded (or low load) tooth contact analysis of modified surfaces is performe...

in present study, the density functional theory (dft-b3lyp) method with svp basis set was used for optimizing and studying the electronic structural properties of cis and trans isomers of bis-(5-nitro-2h-tetrazolato-n2) tetraammine cobalt (iii) perchlorate (bncp) as powerful explosives at 298.15 k temperature and 1 atmosphere pressure. and also, natural bond orbital (nbo) population analysis an...

in this paper the factor of safety (fs) and critical line-segments slip surface obtained by the alternating variable local gradient (avlg) optimization method was presented as a new topic in 2d. results revealed that the percentage of reduction in the fs obtained by switching from a circular shape to line segments was higher with the avlg method than other methods. the 2d-avlg optimization meth...
