A new analytical equation for prediction of temperature profile of a buried gas pipeline is developed. Utility of this equation is illustrated by its application to corresponding states principle. The resulting equation is tested through prediction of the actual Schorre data. It is shown that the new equation can predict temperature profile more accurately than the others without using any char...

The Wagner equation for prediction of vapor pressure has been modified in order to improve it accuracy. On the basis of this modifications, development of a new equation for prediction of vapor pressure is outlined. Examples of the use of the equation for obtaining vapor pressure for a total of 94 pure substance are given. The proposed equation combines simplicity and accuracy and performs as w...

Aerobic power (VO2max) is an important indicator of the health and physical fitness. Executive problems in direct VO2max measurement has led to developing sub-maximal aerobic power prediction equations. The purpose of present study was to develop native aerobic power prediction equation based on 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) and body composition indices in children. In 192 healthy children (8 to 12...

the objective of this study was to determine the relationship between body weight (bw) and heart girth (hg) in sardi and timahdite sheep in order to develop a prediction equation of bw from hg. the data used for this study included 476 records on bw and hg (227 in sardi and 249 in timahdite) collected on males and females of different ages in 33 private farms. the bw and the hg averaged 34.8 ± ...

diffusivity equation commonly used for pressure distribution prediction in porous media results from substituting equation of state and continuity equation in navier-stokes momentum equation. from mathematical point of view this equation format shows infinite propagation speed for pressure pulse through porous media, which is physically impossible. this issue may caused by numerous assumptions ...

the hargreaves-samani (hs) equation, which estimates reference evapotranspiration (et0) using only temperature as input, should be most suitable for et0 prediction based on weather forecasting data. in the current study, the hs equation is calibrated with daily et0 by the penman-monteith equation, and is evaluated to check the possibility of predicting daily et0 based on weather forecast data. ...

In this paper, a genetic algorithm (GA) has been used to predict the vapor pressure of pure organic compounds based on Riedel equation. Initially, the coefficients of Riedel equation were optimized. Then, a new term was added to the original Riedel equation to reduce error of the model in prediction of vapor pressures of pure materials. 110 components at two different pressures (10 and 100 kPa)...
