in this paper, we studied effect of different parameters including density, viscosity, interfacial tension and solute transfer concentration on phase inversion hold-up. the results showed that change in phase density ratio had no effect on phase inversion hold-up. it also disclosed that the phase viscosity ratio was the most effective parameter affecting phase inversion hold-up and each phase h...

RAdiation transfer Model Intercomparison (RAMI) was designed as an on-going mechanism to benchmark radiation transfer (RT) models used to simulate the transfer of radiation at or near the Earth's terrestrial surface, i.e. in plant canopies and over soil surfaces [1]. For the future phases of intercomparisons, one of the expected goals would be to investigate the potential of RT models to reprod...

this work investigates the response of two-dimensional, turbulent boundary layer characteristics over a flat plate to the presence of suspended particulate matter. both phases are assumed to be interacting continua. that is, the carrier fluid equations are considered to be coupled with the particle-phase equations. a finite-difference technique with non-uniform grid has been employed for the so...

in this study, gas evolution in a vertical electrochemical cell is investigated numerically with a modified two-fluid model. the mathematical model involves solution of separate transport equation for the gas and liquid phases with an allowance to inter-phase transfer of mass and momentum. the governing equations are discreted via the finite volume technique and then are solved by the simple al...

without any doubt, one of the strategies to achieve knowledge-based economy is the transfer of high technologies and turning them into a competitive stable advantage for companies. technology readiness levels, as a determining factor for high-tech transfer, has not been taken into consideration in recent studies. in this paper the author seeks to identify and prioritize factors affecting the tr...

most current conceptualisation of knowledge transfer emerges from the premise of occidental heritage. this paper examines the dialectical procedure, underpinning the unification of knowledge as an entity, and discusses dimensions of knowledge and knowledge transfer from the practitioner’s perspective. the study asks why, if knowledge is vital for business success and competitive advantage, the ...
