the simulation of distillation columns is an essential step in design, optimization, and rating. in this paper, a new procedure has been proposed for the initial estimation of column profiles based on modified kremser’s group method for simple and/or complex columns. the effect of this initialization algorithm on simulation procedure has been studied through two examples. the results show signi...

in this paper, we calculate electron and hole impactionization coefficients in in0.52al0.48as using a monte carlo modelwhich has two valleys and two bands for electrons and holesrespectively. also, we calculate multiplication factor for electronand hole initiated multiplication regimes and breakdown voltagein in0.52al0.48as pin avalanche photodiodes. to validate themodel, we compare our simulat...

in this study, we have investigated radius dependence of hydrogen storage within armchair (n,n) single walled carbon nanotubes (swcnt) in a square arrays. to this aim, we have employed equilibrium molecular dynamics (md) simulation. our simulations results reveal that radius of carbon nanotubes are an important and influent factor in hydrogen distribution inside carbon nanotubes and consequentl...

the aim of the present work is to prepare an adsorption package to simulate adsorption / desorption operation for both single and multi-component systems in an isothermal condition by different mechanisms such as; local adsorption theory and mass transfer resistance (rigorous and approximated methods). different mass transfer resistance mechanisms of pore, solid and bidispersed diffusion, toget...

micro-electro-mechanical systems (mems) are combination of electrical and mechanical components in micron dimensions. in recent years, holding, actuating methods and handling of mems components such asmicrogripper, microsensors and etc. have been deeply studied. microgrippers for handling, positioning andassembling of micro components are very useful so that for clamping need actuation created ...

this paper discusses the simulation study carried out for proposing one-piece lean line layout with features of lean manufacturing. the lean initiatives that can be addressed are, introducing kanban replenishment sys-tem, better work-in-process, changing the layout, visual management techniques, standardized work for the re-duction of cycle time, number of workers, number of setups. to improve ...

background: the purpose of this study was to find the accurate absorbed dose in the femur bone marrow during the x-ray radiography for constant mas and aec techniques. materials and methods: the dosxyznrc was used to simulate radiation doses in two human femurs during diagnostic radiography. egsnrc phantoms produced from actual ct images of human femurs were modified by adding seven micrometre ...

background: making use of the orthovoltage machines in radiotherapy, is one of the routine methods for the treatment of the superficial lesions. in this study, an important determinant of x-ray quality, the hvl (half value layer), has been evaluated. materials and methods: the hvls of a orthovoltage x-ray machine in 120 and 180 kvp are measured, using an empirical method, in which the hvls are ...

As new technologies become available we need to identify their potential for application. In some cases new technologies are developed in response to specific needs (demand led), in others the technologies are developed and suitable applications are then sought (technology led). In this talk, the potential for applying distributed simulation is discussed. Three modes of simulation practice are ...

introduction: in recent decades, several monte carlo codes have been introduced for research and medical applications. these methods provide both accurate and detailed calculation of particle transport from linear accelerators. the main drawback of monte carlo techniques is the extremely long computing time that is required in order to obtain a dose distribution with good statistical accuracy. ...
