in this paper, a non-isothermal two-phase flow in the cathode gas diffusion layer (gdl) of pem fuel cell is modeled. the governing equations including energy, mass and momentum conservation equations are solved by numerical methods. also, the optimal values of the effective parameters such as the electrodes porosity, gas diffusion layer (gdl) thickness and inlet relative humidity are calculated...

Weather condition is one of the much effective factors in the principle of architecture and urbanization. So in this research long-term trend of effective climate elements in architecture of Darab city including mean of minimum temperature, temperature mean, mean of maximum temperature, minimum relative humidity, maximum relative humidity, relative humidity mean, wind speed and sun hours in mon...

abstract this experiment was carried out to determine the effects of proline and ascorbic acid on chilling injury, electrolyte leakage, lipid peroxidation, peroxide hydrogen and antioxidant enzymes activity of thompson grape (vitis vinifera l.) fruit. grape fruits were treated by 0 (control), 250 and 500 µm proline and 0 (control), 2 and 4% ascorbic acid and their combinations, then stored at 1...

The use of proteins and peptides as human therapeutics has been increased in recent years. Lipase is a relatively homogeneous proteinaceous enzyme indicated in maldigestion. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of humidity along with compactional pressure on the enzymatic activity of wheat germ lipase. Samples of lipase powder were kept at different relative humidity (RH)...

heavy precipitation plays a significant role in arid and semi-arid regions of iran. in order to understand the effect of blocking high system on rainfalls in northwest iran during 25 - 28 october 2008, meteorological conditions including pressure, wind fields and temperature at multiple levels of the atmosphere were analyzed. sea level pressure, the 1000-500 hpa thickness, perceptible water, re...

Bio-nanocomposite films based on sago starch containing 2% cinnamon essential oil and 3% titanium dioxide nanoparticles were used in the packaging of fresh pistachios and stored at different temperatures (4, 25, and 35 ˚C) and relative humidity (30, 50, and 70%) for 20 days, and pistachio properties were evaluated in five-day intervals. Using these films in packaging improved the physicochemica...
