methyl tertiary butyl ether (mtbe) is known as a promising substitute for tetra ethyl lead (tel) in order to increase the octane number of gasoline. mtbe process, as many other processes, has two distinguished section, namely reaction section and separation section. in this paper we focus only on synthesis and optimization of separation section of this process. in order to achieve this objectiv...

basically, medical diagnosis problems are the most effective component of treatment policies. recently, significant advances have been formed in medical diagnosis fields using data mining techniques. data mining or knowledge discovery is searching large databases to discover patterns and evaluate the probability of next occurrences. in this paper, bayesian classifier is used as a non-linear dat...

This research proposes a framework for determining the optimum location of an injection well using an inference method, artificial neural networks and a search algorithm to create a search space and locate the global maxima. A complex carbonate geothermal reservoir (Kizildere Geothermal field, Turkey) production history is used to evaluate the proposed framework. Neural networks are used as a t...

Capture and subsequent injection of carbon dioxide into deep geological formations is being considered as a means to reduce anthropogenic emissions of CO2 to the atmosphere. If such a strategy is to be successful, the injected CO2 must remain within the injection formation for long periods of time, at least several hundred years. Because mature continental sedimentary basins have a century-long...
