in this work the effect of electrolytes on hydrate formation was investigated. to do so, a new model was used in predicting the hydrate formation conditions in presence of both single and mixed electrolyte solutions. the new model is based on the van der waals - platteeuw hydrate equation of state. in order to evaluate the values for the activity of water in electrolyte solutions the simplified...

Maximal performance during competition is the drive many competitors use to train harder. However, there are several variables that contribute to impair a competitor's performance. These variables work by altering the homeostatic mechanisms within the body. Once homeostasis is altered the competitor's body is no longer optimized to face the stresses of the athletic competition. The environment ...

BACKGROUND Previous surveys of psychological strain in the Naval Service (NS) have shown higher than expected levels of strain when compared to the general population. AIM To repeat the survey last carried out in 2004 and to obtain further information on the nature of the occupational stressors associated with strain. METHODS General Health Questionnaire-12 strain rates and job/life stresso...

In the presented research, heat transfer of a mobile electrolyte alkaline fuel cell (AFC) (which the electrolyte has cooling role of system) has been considered. Proper control volumes of system with specific qualification have been chosen. Consequently, heat and mass transfer in control volumes have been assessed. Considerations on them and contributed models lead to approve a double tube heat...

Introduction Conclusions References Tables Figures Back Close Abstract Introduction Conclusions References Tables Figures Back Close Abstract In this work, existing and modified activity coefficient models are examined in order to assess their capabilities to describe the properties of aqueous solution droplets relevant in the atmosphere. Five different water-organic-electrolyte activity coeffi...
