Diesel engines are widely used to power trucks, buses, passenger cars, locomotives, and ships. These engines power the heavy equipment that plants and harvests crops, tills soil, clears and reshapes land for roads and buildings, and hauls ores from mines to processing centers. Diesel engines generate electricity as portable power sources, peaking units, and emergency backups when line power is ...

Bio fuel plays an important role in the energy production of the forest industry. The initial moisture of the fuel typically varies between 50 63 w-%. A multi stage drying concept has been developed for the drying of wet bio fuel. To adjust the temperature levels in the multi stage drying system there must be a simple and fast method to define the fuel initial moisture. A method to define the i...

background: decrease of economically accessible uranium resources motivates consideration of breeding of fertile elements such as thorium. material and method: thorium oxide fuel burn up calculation of a simulated research reactor cooled heavy water has been proposed in the present work using mcnpx 2.6 code. two 233u and 235u isotopes have been used as fissile element of thorium oxide fuel. 135...

increasing the water use efficiency in crop production is an important issue today. an experiment was conducted in 2009 in order to evaluate the corn reaction to partial root zone drying at fars province. treatments consisted of four irrigation levels (control, alternative furrow irrigation during whole season, alternative furrow irrigation until flowering then full irrigation and full irrigati...

to examine hydraulics of lnapls in soil, the retention curves of diesel fuel and water were both determined by hanging column method. the soil retention parameters were obtained based on van genuchten, brooks-corey and campbell’s models. in addition, the soil hydraulic conductivity for both fluids were predicted based on mualem- brooks-corey, burdine- brooks-corey, mualem-van genuchten and camp...

background: iran is located in the seventh rank in terms of co2 emissions resulting from the fuel combustion in the world. gas compressor booster stations, due to the several sources of contaminants, are causing the release of large amounts of co2 and ch4, which will cause climate change therefore, estimating the emissions of the gases from oil and gas, different processing units are necessary....

this study was conducted to evaluate the share of cost factors affecting on final cost of broiler live weight per kilogram in tehran province. data were collected through questionnaires. farms were divided to three cost ranges: less than 35,000, between 35,000 to 40,000, and over 40000 rails based on production cost per kg of live weight. in this study, water and additives, staff, vaccines, tra...

Carboxydothermus hydrogenoformans is a thermophilic strictly anaerobic bacterium that catalyses the water gas shift reaction, the conversion of carbon monoxide with water to molecular hydrogen and carbon dioxide. The thermodynamically favorable growth temperature, compared to existing industrial catalytic processes, makes this organism an interesting alternative for production of cheap hydrogen...
