the biggest challenges faced in big cities are greenhouse gas emission and growing energy needs. efficient utilization of existing infrastructures has a prominent role in response to the challenges. energy hub approach embraces performance of different energy networks. energy hub is defined as a super node in electrical system receiving distinctive energy carriers such as gas and electricity in...

We have successfully used (311)A and (511)A GaAs for the realization of high quality two-dimensional hole gas (2DHG) and electrons gas (2DEG) structures, respectively. This study was performed mostly on a back-gated, inverted interface, GaAs/AlGaAs structure, in which a 2DHG or 2DEG is embedded. This particular structure enabled the variation of the 2D carrier concentration over two orders of m...

this study was done to investigate the nutritive value of festocaovina, agrostisgiganta and avena sativa using sheep rumen and feces liquor as sources of micro-organism through gas production method. rumen and feces liquor were collected from three fistulated sheep. rangeland species sampling was randomly conducted from different areas of guilan province. all the collected samples were initiall...

Introduction: Perchlorate salts were discovered in the soils around the Phoenix landing site on the northern plains of Mars [1]. Perchlorate was detected by an ion selective electrode that is part of the MECA Wet Chemistry Laboratory (WCL). The discovery of a mass 32 fragment (likely O2) by the Thermal and Evolved-Gas Analyzer (TEGA) provided additional confirmation of a strong oxidizer in the ...

Glycerol availabity, a waste generated in the production of biodiesel, has increased during last years. In this work, Chemical Looping Reforming (CLR) glycerol been demonstrated 1 kWth continuous unit 35 h using Ni-based oxygen carrier to obtain high purity syngas without CO2 emissions. Complete conversion and composition close thermodynamic equilibrium was obtained fuel reactor. Moreover, pure...

Gas mixing in a T-shape micro mixer has been simulated using the Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method. It is considered that the adequate mixing occurs when the mass composition of the species, CO or N2, deviates below 1 % from their equilibrium composition. The mixing coefficient is defined as the ratio of the mixing length to the main channel’s height. As the inlet Kn increases, while ...

Polysulfone was investigated as an alternative base-polymer for polymer inclusion membranes (PIM’s) that could withstand harsh environmental conditions and have good transport efficiency of metal ions. PIM’s were prepared using polysulfone as a base polymer and Aliquat 336 as a carrier in the absence of a plasticizer. Chromium (VI) was used as standard to study the extraction efficiency of the ...

-Inverse gas chromatography at infinite dilution, employing alkanes and alkenes as probes, has been used to characterize the surface properties of a series of smectites of varying chemical composition. The results of this study show that the acidic centers and the interlayer distances have a great influence on the specific interaction of the smectite surface with ~r-bonds of alkenes. High value...

OBJECTIVE Although prenatal/preconception carrier screening recommendations for individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish descent (AJ) were published by American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (2008) and American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (2009), scientific advances have led to widely varied screening panels. Mutation carrier frequencies are sometimes based on small, homogeneous AJ p...

Mg2Si1 xSnx solid solutions are promising thermoelectric materials to be applied in vehicle waste-heat recovery. Their thermal stability issue, however, needs to be addressed before the materials can be applied in practical thermoelectric devices. In this work, we studied the crystal structure and chemical composition of Mg2Si1 xSnx in inert gas atmosphere up to 823 K. We found that the sample ...
