In the applications of solar energy, the solar radiation data and their components in a region must be known for the design of a system. In the locations where no solar radiation data is available, this parameter can be determined by performing a reasonable correlation. In the study, the models of global solar radiation on the horizontal surface in the literature are investigated, and new empir...

common heat transfer fluids such as water, ethylene glycol, and engine oil have limited heat transfer capabilities due to their low heat transfer properties. nanofluids are suspensions of nanoparticles in base fluids, a new challenge for thermal sciences provided by nanotechnology. in this study, we are to optimize and report the effects of various parameters such as the ratio of the thermal co...

gully erosion is one of the most complicated and destructive forms of water erosion. in order to prevent this erosion, the important factors advancing gully head must be recognized. nowadays, several models have been proposed in measuring gully head advancement and identifying the severity of erosion. these models must be calibrated for each country to see whether they are applicable or not. so...

purpose : to evaluate the correlation of central corneal thickness (cct) with refractive error and keratometry in a group of patients eligible for laser keratorefractive surgery, which may serve as a bias in studies on intraocular pressure (iop) measurement methods : in a cross sectional observational study, the right eyes of 340 patients who underwent laser keratorefractive surgery during the ...

INTRODUCTION This study aims to evaluate the factors affecting the accuracy of biometry assessment using the SRK II formula in predicting the refractive outcome after uneventful cataract surgery by phacoemulsification for eyes within the normal range of axial lengths. METHODS A retrospective review of 100 consecutive cases of uncomplicated phacoemulsification surgery performed by two surgeons...
