background: in large cities, the share of vehicles in air pollutants emissions is nearly 70% that is mainly due to use of fossil fuels. environmental simulation has many advantages such as accuracy and speed of modeling. present study was conducted to create a model of air pollution [carbon monoxide (co) and nitrogen oxides (nox)] from vehicles in fifty following years, in mashhad. methods: acc...

air pollution is one of the major threats to environment in the present time. increase in degree of urbanization is a major cause of this air pollution. due to urbanization, vehicular activities are continuously increasing at a tremendous rate. mobile or vehicular pollution is predominantly degrading the air quality worldwide. thus, air quality management is necessary for dealing with this seve...

A hydrodynamic vortex separator (HDVS) has been modelled using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in order to accurately determine the residence time of the fluid at the two outlets of the HDVS using a technique that was developed for use in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC). The results have been compared with experimental data [1]. It is shown that, in using CFD, it is possibl...

a r t i c l e i n f o High-performance microbial fuel cell (MFC) air cathodes were constructed using a combination of inexpensive materials for the oxygen reduction cathode catalyst and the electrode separator. A poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)-based electrode separator enabled high coulombic efficiencies (CEs) in MFCs with activated carbon (AC) cathodes without significantly decreasing power output....

Small node separators for large graphs are used in a variety of ways, from divide-andconquer algorithms to efficient route planning algorithms. We present a new algorithm for finding small k-way node separators on connected undirected graphs. We use an evolutionary algorithm to combine different separators in order to generate improved offsprings with locally good parts of both parent separator...

The Cornell Electron Storage ring facility CESR operates with 2 GeV multi-bunch electron and positron beams in a single beam-pipe. Electrostatic separators are used to separate the two counter-rotating beams at the parasitic crossings. When the beam energy was lowered from 5 GeV in 2003, the strength of the beam-beam interaction became a more important factor in beam-current limitations, result...

Aim of the research is to increase efficiency mechanical and technological process separation sunflower seed mixture on vibro-pneumatic separators, principle which based interaction flow with surface having fluctuation-type vibration load by substantiating their efficient processing parameters. A system differential equations seeds motions, as a granular gas, under action vibrating was develope...
