However, s...

in order to compare two hydroponic culture systems (countinuous and pumic) for producing two cultivars of greenhouse cucumber (2259 and delta star) an experiment was conducted in randomized complete block design with five replications. for mineral nutrition of plants murashige and skoog solution (m.s.) was used by concentration of leaves. the height of the stem, diameter of the first internode,...

This study presents an innovative and simple way to increase the rate of heat transfer in a spiral plate heat exchanger model. Several circular cross-section rods, as continuous vortex generators, have been inserted within the spiral plate heat exchanger in the cross-stream plane. The vortex generators are located at various azimuth angles of α=30◦, 60◦, 90◦, and 120◦ with non-dimensional diame...

the spatial distribution of petrophysical properties within the reservoirs is one of the most importantfactors in reservoir characterization. flow units are the continuous body over a specific reservoirvolume within which the geological and petrophysical properties are the same. accordingly, anaccurate prediction of flow units is a major task to achieve a reliable petrophysical description of a...
