In present work, numerical analysis of three novel PEM fuel cells with tubular geometry was conducted. Tree different cross section was considered for PEM, namely: circular, square and triangular. Similar boundary and operational conditions is applied for all the geometries. At first, the obtained polarization curve for basic architecture fuel cells was validated with experimental data and then...

the kinetics and mechanism of the reaction between benzaldehyde 1, malononitrile 2 and dimedone 3 in a mixture of ethanol and water as solvents in the presence of fructose as a biodegradable catalyst has been studied by the spectroscopic method (uv-vis spectrophotometry method). the influence of various parameters (temperature, solvent and concentration) was studied on the reaction by means of ...

Anaerobic digestion (AD) of biowastes is one of the most common ways to produce methane-rich biogas, which has considerable potential to replace the fossil fuel used in multiple applications, such as vehicular transportation, internal combustion engines, cogeneration of heat and power systems and many other systems. Many companies are involved in the design and construction of anaerobic digesti...

ABSTRACT: Aqueous enzymatic extraction of oil from pistacia khinjuk was performed using cellulase. The central composite design was used to optimize the parameters that are significant to the process. The influence of three regressors on the percentage of oil recovery from seed was evaluated using second-order polynomial multiple regression model. Analysis of variance showed a high coefficient ...

in the chemical industry, process intensification is needed to meet important goals such as sustainable and eco-friendly processes. for esterification reaction the “produce more with less pollution” objective can be achieved by coupling reaction and separation in a so called integrated process. in this work a model for describing the esterification reaction of ethyl acetate in pervaporation mem...

the oxidative coupling of methane (ocm) performance over na-w-mn/sio2 at elevated pressures has been simulated by adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (anfis) using reaction data gathered in an isothermal fixed bed microreactor. in the designed neuro fuzzy models, three important parameters such as methane to oxygen ratio, gas hourly space velocity (ghsv), and reaction temperature were conside...

Alkaline hydrolysis of ethyl acetate is essentially an irreversible and second order reaction. Industrial importance of the reaction product, sodium acetate, necessitate for process improvement in terms of maximum conversion and economical usage of raw materials. Statistical design of experiments was utilized to enhance conversion in both batch and plug flow reactors.A full two level factor...
