This study aimed at linear stability analysis of the stratified two-phase liquid-gas flow in a horizontal pipe. First, equations governing the linear stability of flow in each phase and boundary conditions were obtained. The governing equations were eigenvalue Orr Sommerfeld equations which are difficult and stiff problems to solve. After obtaining the velocity profiles of the gas and liquid ph...

phytosterols have been used for reduction of cholesterol since 1950. the high melting temperature and chalky taste are the major problems related to the enrichment of foodstuffs with phytosterols. the cristal construct of these compounds could not reduce remarkably the blood cholesterol in comparison with the fatty soluble forms. presence of free and alcoholic forms of phytosterols and also the...

A reversed-phase salt assisted liquid-liquid extraction (RP-SALLE) method was developed for the preconcentration and determination of trace crocin in herbal medicines by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). In developed method, the roles of the aqueous and organic phases are inverted so that the analyte is extracted from the organic into the aqueous phase after salt addition and phase...

a high performance liquid chromatography method was studied for determination of 18 ?-glycyrrhetinic acid in glycyrrhiza glabra l. (licorice) extract. the operating condition were c-18 reversed phase column (vp-ods, (250×4.6 mm, 5 mm)) at room temperature, acetonitril/phosphoric acid (3/1) as mobile phase, at flow rate of 0.6ml/min (0-8min), 0.4ml/min (8-20min) and uv detection at 230 nm. the r...

We describe a versatile high-performance liquid-chromatographic method for determining homocysteine and other plasma sulfhydryls. Using three different procedures for preparation of plasma, we determined total, free (non-protein-bound), and reduced forms of homocysteine, cysteine, glutathione, cysteinylglycine, and gamma-glutamylcysteine in human plasma. Sample preparation involves disulfide re...

Reduced graphene oxide-osmium (rGO-Os) hybrid nano dendtrites have been prepared by simple liquid/liquid interface method for the first time. The method involves the introduction of phase-transfered metal organic precursor in toluene phase and GO dispersion in the aqueous phase along with hydrazine hydrate as the reducing agent. Dendritic networks of Os nanoparticles and their aggregates decora...

The objective of this research is to develop an accurate numerical method to be used in showing the deformation of a liquid fuel droplet in a convective field. To simultaneously solve the internal liquid droplet flow field as well as the external gas phase flow field, a nonstaggered rectangular grid system without any coordinate transformation is used. Transition from the gas field to the liqui...

Highly dispersed rhodium nanoparticles (1.7 +/- 0.3 nm) prepared by a liquid-phase reduction method were loaded on a solid solution of GaN and ZnO without forming aggregates, achieving improved activity for visible-light-driven overall water splitting when the nanoparticles are coated with a chromia shell.
