different control strategies of bed temperature and moisture were investigated using various inlet air temperatures and air fluxes in both the ordinary packed bed bioreactor (without cooling water in the jacket) and the bioreactor with cooling water in jacket. the experiments were carried out within a 1-l solid-state packed bed bioreactor in which aspergillus niger was cultivated on wheat bran....

this paper peresents a mathematical model for the thin layer drying of the viliamz cultivar of soybean. the thin layer drying behaviour of soybean was experimentally investigated and the mathematical modelling performed by using thin layer drying models provided in the literature. experiments were conducted at inlet drying air temperatures of 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70ºc and at a fixed drying air ve...

1. introduction one of the most important conditions to have dusty weather beside of unstable weather is existence or non-existence of humidity. unstable weather having enough humidity will produce rain and thunder storm, else if the result will be dust storm. number of particles of dusty storm is depended to wind speed, sec of soil and its dimension. furthermore, vegetation type has importance...

Tehran is the capital city of Iran and its inhabitants are suffering from air pollution.Green roofs can be one of the choices to deal with this problem. In this paper, ability ofgreen roofs in absorbing four air pollutants (PM10, SO2, NO2, and CO2) in Tehran wasvaluated. First, the potential of 1 m2 of a hypothetical green roof in Tehran in absorbingPM10 and SO2 during 1 year was estimated usin...

the centralization of human activities is associated with different pollutants which enter into environment easily and cause the urban environment more vulnerable. regarding the importance of air pollution issue for tehran metropolis, many plans and regulations have been developed. however, most of them failed to decline the pollution. the purpose of this study was to pathologically analyze air...
