A mathematical model was developed which simulates the self-discharge capacity losses in the carbon anode for a SONY 18650 lithium-ion attery. The model determines the capacity loss during storage on the basis of a continuous reduction of organic solvent and de-intercalation of ithium at the carbon/electrolyte interface. The state of charge, open circuit potential, capacity loss and film resist...

proteins are not only considered as a nutritional source but also are responsible for a number of functional properties such as solubility, emulsification, foaming capacity and gel formation in food products. however, insolubility of the proteins (as can be seen in gluten) and therefore their insufficient functional properties have created some limita-tions for their incorporation in formulated...

The complexity reduction of receivers in ultrawideband (UWB) communication when time reversal (TR) technique is applied makes it suitable for low-cost and low-power sensor systems. Larger antenna dispersion can generally lead to a less stable phase center and will increase the interference in UWB communications based on pulse radio, whereas a higher antenna gain will result in higher channel ga...

Problem. The tendency to reduce the working volume of internal combustion engines, which has emerged in recent years global automotive industry, is due need improve environmental situation and energy efficiency road transport. Goal. aim study increase vehicles by rationally reducing maximum effective engine capacity. Methodology. work uses method partial accelerations, implemented a mobile regi...

a prototype of a straw chopper, equipped with a discharge system was designed and fabricated in the department of mechanics of agricultural machinery, university of tehran, karaj, iran. to test for the effective performance of the machine, the effects of such parameters as: drum speed (at three levels of: 400, 540, and 800 rpm), screen size (at two levels: 2.5 and 4 cm), and number of blades on...

the basic strategy of reduce the ductility demand and related concentrated tensions at moment resistance connections is reduce the section of the beam at connected region to column. by this method plastic hinge done at the reduced cross section and this local reduction decreases the demand of the components of connection. on this basis, in present study a new beam-to-column moment connection wi...
