This paper utilizes the regression modeling in turning process of En-31 steel using response surface methodology (RSM) with factorial design of experiments. A first-order and second-order surface roughness predicting models were developed by using the experimental data and analysis of the relationship between the cutting conditions and response (surface roughness). In the development of predict...

nowadays biodiesel is receiving more attention as a most important renewable energy for using in diesel engines. inthis research, the application of response surface methodology (rsm) was highlighted to investigate the effects of biodiesel-diesel blends (b0, b20, b50 and b100), engine operating parameters (engine load and  speed) on co2 emission of a diesel engine. the experiments were conducte...

I have two distinct research directions. The first is surface modeling, particularly the representation, analysis, and manipulation of complicated, organic shapes. My research brings fundamental mathematical concepts, such as manifolds and shape description techniques, to bear on these problems. As the field of computer graphics matures it must have this strong theoretical base to succeed. The ...

exergy analysis and response surface methodology (rsm) is applied to reduce the exergy loss and improve energy and exergy efficiency of acetic acid production plant. exergy analysis is run as a thermodynamic tool to assess exergy loss in reactor and towers of acetic acid production process. the process is simulated in aspen plus(v.8.4) simulator and the necessary thermodynamics data for calcula...

Dyes are widely used in various industries most of them are not readily biodegradable and are consisted of number of toxic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic compounds. Therefore, it is essential to remove them from effluent before their discharge to the environment. The objective of this investigation was to synthesize copper oxide (CuO) doped zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles under mild hydrothermal c...

In this present study the dissolved air flotation (DAF) system was investigated for the treatment of Kermanshah Oil Refinery wastewater. The effect of three parameters on flotation efficiency including of flow rate (outflow from the flotation tank), saturation pressure and coagulant dosage on chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal was examined experimentally. All the experiments were done under a...

The effects of hot air temperature (40, 50 and 60 oC) and Radiation Intensity (RI) (0.21, 0.31 and 0.41 w/cm2) on the response variables (drying time, Head Parboiled Rice Yield (HPRY), color value and hardness)) of parboiled rice were investigated. The drying was performed using hybrid hot air–infrared drying. The optimization of drying variables and the relationship b...

The development of full displacement field measurements as an alternative to the optical lever technique to measure the mechanical response for MEMS components in their environment calls for a modeling of chemically-induced mechanical fields (i.e., stress, strain, and displacements). As these phenomena usually arise from species adsorption, adsorbate modification or surface reconstruction, they...
