over the last ten years, robustness of schemes has raised an increasing interest among the cfd community. the objective of this article is to solve the quasi-one-dimensional compressible flow inside a “shubin nozzle” and to investigate bean-warming and flux vector splitting methods for numerical solution of compressible flows. two different conditions have been considered: first, there is a sup...

removing of ions from different water and waste water is one of the most important of nanofiltration potential for different aims, such as softening of potable water, remove of heavy metal ions and purification of waste water to reuse. in this study nanofiltration was used to remove of the most important ions (na+, k+, ca2+, mg2+, so42-, cl-) in sugar beet press water to reuse of this stream. e...

Background: Miniature neutron sources with high neutron flux have abundant applications in medicine, industry and researches. The most important general characteristic of miniature neutron sources is their diameter which is 3mm in average. In this research, we have surveyed and designed an Am-Be miniature neutron source fabrication. Materials and Methods: This investigation resulted in creation...

The aim of the present study was to develop and investigate the feasibility of delivering Nebivolol as a transdermal patch by iontophoresis. The passive and electrically assisted transdermal delivery of Nebivolol hydrochloride by iontophoresis will improve the therapeutic efficacy and overcome the difficulties raised in oral drug delivery. Because of its extensive hepatic metabolism and low dos...

In this paper, using the three-phase induction motor fifth order model in a stationary twoaxis reference frame with stator current and rotor flux as state variables, a conventional backsteppingcontroller is first designed for speed and rotor flux control of an induction motor drive. Then in orderto make the control system stable and robust against all electromechanical parameter uncertainties a...

the turbidity of sour orange juice after juice extraction affects on quality, shelf-life and concentration of juice. therefore, juice clarification is an important operation in the fruit processing industry. the goal of this study was evaluating the effect of membrane operation parameters including pressure (120-220 kpa) and temperature (25-35 ºc) on the permeate flux and hydraulic resistance o...

the ever increasing rate of power consumption has led to an increase in public exposure to extremely low frequency magnetic fields (elf-mfs) and brought severe concerns about their health effects. considering previous studies and the facts about potential health effects of these fields, the present study aimed to evaluate the elf-mf flux densities from power distribution lines near hospitals in...

the present article focuses on the evaluation of a first-moment closure model applicable to film cooling flow and heat transfer computations. the present first-moment closure model consists of a higher level of turbulent heat flux modeling in which two additional transport equations for temperature variance kθ and its dissipation rate εθ are considered. it not only employs a time scale that is ...

Direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) which emerges as an alternative separation technology can effectively perform a colloidal separation process under thermal driven force. DCMD is capable of extracting pure water from aqueous solutions containing non-volatile nanoparticles through the hydrophobic microporous membrane when a vapour pressure difference was established across the membrane...
