Nowadays, the real structures (considered as prototypes) subjected to fire are analysed by means of behaviours some reduced scale (defined models). These prototype–model correlations governed so-called dimensional analysis (DA) methods. methods, starting from Buckingham theorem, offer several dimensionless variables and based on them is Model Law (ML), which able foresee predictable prototype’s...

The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is an alternative to the conventional computational fluid dynamic (CFD) methods. It gained popularity due its simplicity in coding and dealing with a complex flow such as multiphase flow. based on kinetic theory, which mesoscopic scale. Hence, applying LBM for macroscopic problems requires proper conversion from physical scale (conventional units) (lattice vic...

Meaningful laws of nature must be independent of the units employed to measure the variables. The principle of similitude (Rayleigh 1915) or dimensional homogeneity, states that only commensurable quantities (ones having the same dimension) may be compared, therefore, meaningful laws of nature must be homogeneous equations in their various units of measurement, a result which was formalized in ...

hf level of ab initio calculations with basis-set 6-31g including full counterpoise correction hasbeen applied to compute the asphis potential with the ser and hisser potential with the asp inasphisser trimer. the potential energy surface has a minimum of -16.765 kcal/mol in r1=1.912nm and r2=2.719 nm. the optimum computed curves for two interactions were fitted withintermolecular pair potentia...

In this research, the thermodynamics and mass transfer of CO2 absorption has been studied in a mixture of MDEA-MEA amines. A relation is presented for mass transfer flux in the reactive-absorption process. For this purpose, the effective parameters on the mass transfer flux were investigated in both liquid and gas phases. Then, using dimensional analysis with the Pi-Buckingham theorem, the effe...
