The spectral methods seek the numerical solutions by a set of known polynomials. The main advantage of using spectral methods for solving atmospheric problems is the high efficiency and conservations of important quadratic quantities such as kinetic energy and enstrophy. Namely, we can get very high accuracy through the exponential convergence. The conservation of the quadratic quantities are i...

One approach to active learning involves taking students through a guided exploration process; one which ensures students will observe phenomena and then be asked questions intended to draw conclusions regarding the observations. In recent years, this has been called inductive teaching, but more recently the expression “inquiry-based instruction” or related terms have become more common. Concur...

Control properties of thermally coupled distillation arrangements for the separation of multicomponent mixtures were compared to those of conventional distillation sequences. Seven thermally coupled schemes were investigated. The preliminary steady – state design of complex schemes was obtained by starting from a conventional distillation sequences and then optimizing for minimum energy consump...

The control properties of thermally coupled distillation sequences for the separation of five – component mixtures of hydrocarbons were compared to those of conventional distillation sequences. Seven thermally coupled arrangements were investigated. The preliminary steady – state designs of complex schemes were obtained by starting from conventional distillation sequences and then optimizing fo...

In this contribution, a different pressure thermally coupled extractive distillation process has been applied on the separation of propylene and propane with aqueous acetonitrile (ACN) solution as entrainer. The novel distillation process integration is the combination of different pressure thermally coupled distillation (DPTCD) and extractive distillation (ED). Both the new process and the con...

the composition of the essential oils of teucrium chamaedrys l. belongs to the family lamiaceae, it is growing wild in the margin of mountainous roads of arid and cold climate of north iran. in this research, essential oils of t. chamaedrys, extracted and measured at the different location by different methods of distillationand then were analyzed by gc and gc/ms. investigation and comparison o...

New observations with atmospheric neutrinos from the underground experiments SuperKamiokande, Soudan 2, and MACRO, together with earlier results from Kamiokande and IMB, are reviewed. The most recent observations reconfirm aspects of atmospheric flavor content and of zenith angle distributions which appear anomalous in the context of null oscillations. The anomalous trends, exhibited with high ...

Direct observation of the phase and morphological evolution copper nanoparticles during oxidation (O2) reduction (H2) reactions, as a function temperature, using in situ STEM under atmospheric pressure.

Abstract We studied the evolution of an isolated pulsed plasma in a vortex flow stabilised microwave (MW) discharge N 2 at 25 mbar via combination 0D kinetics modelling, iCCD imaging and laser scattering diagnostics. Quenching electronically excited results fast gas heating onset thermal-ionisation instability, contracting volume. The instability driven by vibrational excitation pathways is fou...
