Wheel numeric and different versions of mobility numbers are important models for predicting the rolling resistance. In this study, data related to the rolling resistance of cross ply and radial ply tires were compared with the resultant values from several models. Also, the preciseness of models in rolling resistance prediction was evaluated. For this purpose F test and 1-1 line method (p≥ 0.0...

treated sea water is the most significant source of water and surfactant floods. the various chemicals employed in treatment plants should be compatible with surfactant systems. based on surface tension experiments, the activity of these chemicals is examined over a wide range of concentrations in different solutions, including distillated water, sea water by using three types of surfactant mix...
