SELECTION CRITERIA OF WORKING PAIRS ADSORBENT - ADSORBATE FOR THERMAL ENERGY TRANSFORMERS

Volumetric interpretation of protein adsorption: capacity scaling with adsorbate molecular weight and adsorbent surface energy.

Silanized-glass-particle adsorbent capacities are extracted from adsorption isotherms of human serum albumin (HSA, 66 kDa), immunoglobulin G (IgG, 160 kDa), fibrinogen (Fib, 341 kDa), and immunoglobulin M (IgM, 1000 kDa) for adsorbent surface energies sampling the observable range of water wettability. Adsorbent capacity expressed as either mass-or-moles per-unit-adsorbent-area increases with p...

The Specific Heat Capacity of Adsorbate-Adsorbent System

GIS-Based Multi Criteria Evaluation for Thermal Power Plant Site Selection in Kahnuj County, SE Iran

Choosing a location for a power plant site is a complex task that involves evaluation of multiple factors, which should satisfy a number of economic and environmental requirements. The main aim of this study is to determine the best possible candidates for thermal power plant sites using Multi-criteria Evaluation and Geographic Information System (GIS) in Kahnuj County in the southeast of Iran....

Multiple Criteria Analysis for Energy Storage Selection

In view of the current and predictable energy shortage and environmental concerns, the exploitation of renewable energy sources offers great potential to meet increasing energy demands and to decrease dependence on fossil fuels. However, introducing these sources will be more attractive provided they operate in conjunction with energy storage systems (ESS). Furthermore, effective energy storage...

Thermal Modeling of Electrical Transformers

Thermal modeling of transformer is necessary to ensure the optimal design and cost of manufacture of transformer. Either of the empirical formulae available from the standards and practical measurement techniques used in the industries as an alternative to the formulae will not be able to answer the problem exactly and hence the development of software based thermal modeling techniques that use...
