Benzene, Toluene, Ethyl Benzene and Xylene are volatile organic compounds (VOCs) with approximately similar physical and chemical characteristics. Benzene and Ethyl-benzene are known carcinogen as well as they affect the circulatory, nervous, and reproductive and respiratory systems. Toluene and Xylene also damage the nervous and reproductive systems. The main purpose of this study is to determ...

in this paper, the methodology of aircraft air distribution system has been analyzed theoretically and experimentally. to achieve that, ducting pressure loss and air flow throw gaspers calculations has been done for cabin ducts in according to exact location of individual air distribution system in the cabin. the length of gasper air flow was compared with the distance between gasper outlet and...

The air-injection as an active flow stabilizing techniques, were numerically examined in current work, during the aerodynamic behavior and the characteristics of an axial compressor. At first, in design condition the characteristic curve was numerically captured for a specified test compressor. The computed results showed good agreements with those obtained from the experiments, to validate the...

high speed wind tunnels are widely used in the study of fluid flow behavior around various objects. the air flow in the starting step of supersonic wind tunnels is transient including strong shock waves caused by the interaction of the tunnel main stream and the boundary layer at walls. to arrive in running step, the tunnel must be designed so as these waves leave immediately the test section. ...

green fig, which is usually consumed as dry fruit, is one of the important non-oil export agricultural commodities of iran. in this study, some important physical properties of green figs including geometric mean diamter, sphericity, porosity, particle and bulk density and pressure drop across a thin bed were measured at constant moisture content of 6% (dry basis). air flow ranges used in this ...

introduction membrane bioreactor (mbr) is an effective technology for wastewater treatment and water reuse which is becoming increasingly popular due to its numerous applications and advantages over conventional activated sludge process. this novel technology have advantages of small footprint, high concentration of mixed liquor suspended solids (mlss), high removal efficiency of chemical oxyge...

background: use of hormone replacement therapy (hrt) may increase the risk of adult-onset asthma in women. various in vitro studies have reported that estradiol stimulates human mast cell lines causing release of allergic mediators which was not observed in estrogen receptor-alpha (er-alpha) knockout mice. thus, estrogen might be a key element in occurrence of asthma. in the present study, we p...

In this article, turbulent flow heat transfer in the air gap between rotor and stator of a generator under nonhomogeneous heat flux is studied experimentally. The rotor consists of four symmetrical triangular grooves. The stator surface is smooth and does not include any grooves. The relative heat flux between the rotor and the stator is 1 to 3. Temperature and heat flux are measured locally at...
