the fluid flow and heat transfer in lid-driven enclosures filled with cu-water nanofluid is numerically investigated. the moving vertical walls of the enclosure  are maintained in a constant temperature, while the horizontal walls are insulated. the hybrid scheme is used to discretize the convection terms and simpler algorithm is adopted to couple the velocity field and pressure in the momentum...

since time immemorial, iranian women have played a pivotal role in agriculture, the largest industry contributing to rural livelihoods. hence, the present study was conducted in tafresh area of iran to examine factors influencing participation of rural women in mixed farming activities in 1999.this was a descriptive- correlation research project in which a total number of 300 rural women were s...

in the present work, zno/bi2o3, sno2/bi2o3/bi2o4 mixed oxide, bi2o3 rod-like and sno2 nanoparticle have been synthesized. the obtained samples were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (fe-sem) and x-ray diffraction (xrd). the optical properties of samples were evaluated by uv-vis spectrophotometer. the photocatalytic activity of samples was evaluated by decolorization o...

the equilibrium constant of adduct formation between some triorganotin chloride of the type r3sncl (r=c6h5, p-ch3c6h4, n-ch3)ch2)3, c6h5-ch2 and lewis bases cl¯, br¯, and i¯, were measured in 50% v/v ethanol-water solvent spectrophotometrically. the average equilibrium constant values for the systems studied shows the following acceptor trend of tin(iv) in the triorganotin chlorides: p-tolyl > ...

salinity is one of the most important abiotic stresses that limit crop growth and productivity. this study focuses on the effects of different strains of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (pgpr) on the physiological responses of two wheat cultivars under normal and salt stress conditions. the wheat cultivars selected include one which is tolerant to salinity (kavir) and one which is sensitiv...

a new mixed  halo chromate  nanoparticle compound was synthesised and characterized. triphenylphosphonium trifluoroiodochromate (iii)[p(c6h5)3h]+[crf3i]- nanoparticle was synthesized by using triphenylphosphonium  iodide reaction with crf3, in the presence of  3-mercaptopropionic acid. this method is a simple and direct method. the product was characterized by spectroscopic and analytical metho...

the no removal over oxide sorbents (k2o/al2o3 , cao/al2o3 and bao/al2o3) at a loading of up to 25 wt.% was investigated using a synthetic diesel exhaust gas containing  1,000 ppm no, 1000 ppm iso-butane (i-c4h10), 8% o2 and n2 balance. the reactor was operated  at 250 oc to 450 oc for the activity study. no was effectively stored (removal efficiencies between 30-60 %) as nitrate under experimen...

the present work describes the studies on the coordination behaviour of 4[n-(benzalidene) amino]antipyrine semicarbazone (baaps) (i), 4[n-(furfural)amino]antipyrine semicarbazone (ffaaps) (ii) and 4[n-(cinnamalidene)amino]antipyrine semicarbazone (caaps) (iii) in presence of dimethyl sulfoxide (dmso) or diphenyl sulfoxide (dpso) towards th4+ and uo22+ salts. all the complexes were isolated in n...

‎in this paper we introduce mixed unitary cayley graph $m_{n}$‎ ‎$(n>1)$ and compute its eigenvalues‎. ‎we also compute the energy of‎ ‎$m_{n}$ for some $n$‎.

premixed combustion is widely used for reducing pollutant emission from combustion chambers. however, these systems may be sensitive to complex phenomena such as flashback. in the present study flame, flashback and structure of premixed laminar flames are investigated theoretically. the mathematical model includes the axi-symmetric continuity, navier stocks, energy, and species equations. combu...
