Background and Objectives: One of the problems in juice membrane clarification is the accumulation and deposition of rejected compounds on membrane surfaces or inside its pores which results in a membrane fouling. Materials and Methods: Several parameters can have influence on fouling in one hand and prediction of juice permeates flux during the membrane processing is of importance in indust...

In this paper, a three-dimensional finite element model has been developed to simulate the laser-TIG hybrid welding (HLAW) of stainless steel 1.4418 with thickness of 4 mm. Transient temperature profile and dimensions of the fusion zone and heat affected zone (HAZ) during welding process are calculatedusing finite element method (FEM) and were solved in the ABAQUS/Standard software.The heat sou...

In this article, turbulent flow heat transfer in the air gap between rotor and stator of a generator under nonhomogeneous heat flux is studied experimentally. The rotor consists of four symmetrical triangular grooves. The stator surface is smooth and does not include any grooves. The relative heat flux between the rotor and the stator is 1 to 3. Temperature and heat flux are measured locally at...

Abstract: Nano pore Mordenite membranes were prepared on the outer surface of ceramic tubular tubes via hydrothermal synthesis and evaluated for dehydration pervaporation of water unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine UDMH mixtures. Highly water-selective mordenite membranes were prepared and the optimum reaction condition was found to be 24 h crystallization time and 170 °C crystallization temperatu...

membrane distillation has the potential to concentrate solutions to their saturation level, thus offering the possibility to recover valuable salts from the solutions. the process performance and stability, however, is strongly dependent upon the features of membranes applied. in addition, several other parameters, membrane thickness and thermal conductivity significantly affect the process per...

in this paper the optimal control of boundary heat flux in a 2-d solid body with an arbitrary shape is performed in order to achieve the desired temperature distribution at a given time interval. the boundary of the body is subdivided into a number of components. on each component a time-dependent heat flux is applied which is independent of the others. since the thermophysical properties are t...

the suitability of three vapor deposition techniques for pore size modification was evaluated using polycarbonate track etched membranes as model supports. a feature scale model was employed to predict the pore geometry after modification and the resulting pure water flux. physical vapor deposition (pvd) and pulsed plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (pecvd), naturally, form asymmetric na...
