In this research the effect of physical predictors for the electrode based thermal therapy were considered and their effect on the final achieved temperature was quantified. For this purpose 6 predictors that may affect the temperature were studied. Knowledge of temperature inside the domain determines the extent of thermal damage in the domain. For the particular case of electrode based therma...

Producing parts with high density and improved mechanical properties is one of the most important aims of powder metallurgy process. There are many factors for attaining modified properties in sintered parts but among them controlling type and quantity of alloying elements and manufacturing parameters such as compacting pressure, sintering temperature are the most effective. In this research, t...

In this research, turbulent MHD convection of liquid metal with constant and variable properties is investigated numerically. The finite volume method is applied to model the fluid flow and natural convection heat transfer in a square cavity. The fluid flow and heat transfer were simulated and compared for two cases constant and variable properties. It is observed that for the case variable pro...

Current observations indicate that, on a large enough scale, the universe is homogeneous and isotropic. However, this does not preclude possibility of some anisotropy having occurred during early stages evolution universe, which could then have been damped out later. This idea has aroused interest in Bianchi models, are but anisotropic. Secondly, there much modified gravity these days due to pr...

In this paper, the effect of adding recycled glass powder (RGP) as a third component in polymer modified bitumen is studied. RGP and styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) is added to the base bitumen in order to prepare modified binders and mixtures. The initial study is performed to determine physical properties of unmodified, SBR modified and RGP-SBR modified asphalt binders which prove RGP's compat...

Traditional super-efficiency data envelopment analysis (DEA) models rank efficient units under the assumption of constant returns to scale (CRS). However, infeasibility may occur in super-efficiency models under variable returns to scale (VRS). This paper proposes a modified VRS super-efficiency DEA model to deal with infeasibility by relaxing the convexity constraint 1, 0 1 n j j j λ = ≠ = ∑ t...

bituminous emulsion insulators are types of bituminous emulsions groups composed of different grades of bitumen emulsified in water by bentonite and emulsifiers at 80-90oc. these emulsions are water resistant after drying andtheir physical and mechanical properties are superior in comparison to bitumen properties. iranian climate, because of variety and extreme variations in temperature imposes...

A simple model of 1D structure based on a Fibonacci sequence with variable atomic spacings is proposed. The model allows for observation of the continuous transition between periodic and non-periodic diffraction patterns. The diffraction patterns are calculated analytically both using “cut and project” and “average unit cell” method, taking advantage of the physical space properties of the stru...
