steel industry is one of the most consumption of energy in the world, which is related to melting furnace which result environmental pollution. we calculate the energy consumption and capital cost of dust collectors of venturi scrubber (vs) and electrostatic precipitator (esp) which are connected to melting furnace in respect to industrial ecology for selection of appropriate dust collection sy...

Three-dimensional quantitative structure--property relationship (3D-QSPR) models have been constructed using comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) to correlate the sublimation enthalpies at 298.15 K of a series of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) with their CoMFA-calculated physicochemical properties. Various alignment schemes, such as atom fit, as is, and inertial were employed in this ...

Inspired by the idea of charge decomposition in calculation of the dipole preserving and polarization consistent charges (Zhang et al., J. Comput. Chem. 2011, 32, 2127), we have proposed a numerically stable restrained electrostatic potential (ESP)-based charge fitting method for protein. The atomic charge is composed of two parts. The dominant part is fixed to a predefined value (e.g., AMBER c...

The reduction of SO2 and PM for marine engines was investigated using the electrostatic precipitator (ESP) with the heat exchanger. The experiments were carried out to reduce SO2 due to condensation of water in the exhausted gas. The experimental system consists of the diesel engine, the heat exchanger and the ESP. The exhausted gas at 180 o C of the temperature is cooled to 20 o C, and generat...

the importance of constructing the appropriate green function to solve a wide range of problems inelectromagnetics and partial differential equations is well-recognized by those dealing with classical electrodynamics and related fields. although the subject of obtaining the green function for certain geometries has been extensively studied and addressed in numerous sources, in this paper a syst...

We characterized the efficacy of an electrostatic precipitator (ESP) air-cleaner in reducing the concentration of Serratia marcescens in an enclosed space. We used an experimental room (4.5 x 3 x 2.9 m) in which electrostatic aircleaners were located. Two air-cleaners enhanced the equivalent ventilation rates in the chamber by about 3.3 air changes per hour (ACH) over the 2 ACH provided by the ...

The particles emitted from diesel engine exhaust have low resistivity and extremely small in the range of 70-120nm. An electrostatic precipitator (ESP) has been extensively used for the collection of these particles. A two-stage ESP using charging section and collection section has been installed for the collection of diesel particles and improving the visibility index in road tunnels. The char...

This paper presents a numerical flow model applied to a 3D geometry of an electrostatic precipitator (ESP). The flow simulation is performed by using the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code FLUENT. Realizable k-ε model for turbulence condition inside the ESP is applied. In the simulation, the perforated plates are modeled as thin porous media of finite thickness with directional permeabilit...

The presence of wall strengtheners in double-stage electrostatic precipitators affects gas velocity, electrical field and particle movement over the ESP. In this work we have used our previous mathematical model for double-stage ESP {Talaie et. al (2001) [10]] to study the effect of wall strengtheners on the performance of double-stage ESP. One of the important findings was that, due to the fac...

This paper is a density functional theory (DFT) calculation of intramolecular proton transfer (IPT) in 6-hydroxypicolinic acid (6HPA, 6-hydroxypyridine-2-carboxylic acid) tautomeric forms. The transition state for the enol-to-keto transition is reported in the gas phase and in four different solvents. The planar and non-planar dimer forms of 6HPA keto and enol, respectively, were also studied i...
