In this study, the use of the three-layer feed forward neural network has been investigated for estimating of infinite dilute diffusion coefficient ( D12 ) of supercritical fluid (SCF), liquid and gas binary systems. Infinite dilute diffusion coefficient was spotted as a function of critical temperature, critical pressure, critical volume, normal boiling point, molecular volume in normal boilin...

With the aim to reduce emissions from marine transport, electric propulsion systems for a water taxi and container ship powered by hydrogen polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell system are designed analyzed compared current fuel-oil engine in terms of energy exergy efficiency, consumption, mass volume, environmental impacts cost. Hydrogen is stored either as compressed gas (GH2), cryogenic liq...

The injection of carbon dioxide (CO2) in deep, unmineable coalbeds is a very attractive option for geologic CO2 storage: the CO2 is stored and at the same time the recovery of coalbed methane (CBM) is enhanced. The revenue of methane (CH4) production can offset the expenditures of the storage operation. Coalbeds form complex gas reservoirs characterized by their dual porosity: they contain both...

VarietyCash is a new electronic money system which strikes a balance between functionality, security, and user privacy. The system can encompass both network and stored-value card based payment mechanisms, with transferability between them, hence the name.

table grapes (vitis vinifera l. cv. shahroodi) were stored for 45 days under modified atmospher packaging (map) with four gas combination treatments including gc1 (control or air), gc2 (10%co2+5%o2), gc3 (10%co2+15%o2) and gc4 (10%co2 + 60%o2) using two types of polymeric films pp (polypropylene) and pe (polyethylene) at 1oc and 80-90% rh. measurements were carried out after each 15 days at 1oc...

the mixing behavior of the gas-liquid phase in three loop bioreactors was investigated. a gas-induced external airlift loop bioreactor (ealb), a forced-liquid vertical tubular loop bioreactor (vtlb) and a forced-liquid horizontal tubular loop bioreactor (htlb) were used for mixing studies as well as biomass production from natural gas. the effect of design parameters, riser to downcomer cross s...

in this trial, the effect of different levels of echum amoneum (ea) (0.3, 30, 300 or 3000 µl) on in vitro ruminal fermentation characteristics and methane production was assessed. the parameters studied were in vitro gas production (ivgp), methane production, ammonia (nh3-n) concentration, in vitro organic matter degradability (ivomde), partitioning factor (pf) (the ratio of substrate truly deg...

Isotope ratio analyses of atmospheric CO(2) at natural abundance have significant potential for contributing to our understanding of photosynthetic and respiration processes in forest ecosystems. Recent advances in isotope ratio mass spectrometry allow for rapid, on-line analysis of small volumes of CO(2) in air, and open new research opportunities at the ecophysiological, whole-organism, and a...

➥ normal inspiration and expiration. In adults it is about 700 ml (10 ml/kg). Expiratory reserve volume (ERV) is the gas volume additionally exhaled during forced expiration and inspiratory reserve volume (IRV) is that after a forced inspiration. The sum of VT and IRV is the inspiratory capacity (IC). Even after a maximum expiratory effort, some air is left in the lung; no lung region normally ...

Ten children who had had transposition of the great vessels (TGV) repaired, deep hypothermia, and cardiac arrest were examined. Seven children with acyanotic heart disease and 12 unaffected siblings were tested for comparison. Their intelligence, academic achievement, and behaviour was studied. The group with TGV had lower performance subscores on the intelligence test, an increase in somatic c...
