background and objective: reduced fat cheese often exhibits poor sensory quality due to the reduction of fat, which plays a critical role in flavor and texture. therefore, there is the challenge to produce a reduced fat cheese with improved sensory attributes and texture that is also comparable to its full-fat counterpart. the main objective of this research was to investigate the effect of dif...

this study is concerned with the prediction of particles’ velocity in a dilute turbulent gas-solidboundary layer flow using a fully eulerian two-fluid model. the closures required for equationsdescribing the particulate phase are derived from the kinetic theory of granular flows. gas phaseturbulence is modeled by one-equation model and solid phase turbulence by mlh theory. resultsof one-way and...

carbon disulfide is used predominantly in the manufacture. it has affects the nervous system. in this study, the applicability of spme as a passive sampler for determination of carbon disulphide in air was studied. effect of sampler and environmental parameters on uptake of carbon disulphide was studied as well. four fibers were tested to select the best sampler for determine carbon disulfide i...

in this research, the selective oxidation of benzene to maleic anhydride (man) in a fixed-bed reactor was studied. the gas phase catalytic oxidation of benzene was carried outin a laboratory scale fixed bed reactor on the catalysts, which were prepared having two different compositions on silica gel. the effects of temperature, flow rates of benzene and air, and catalyst type on the reaction se...

one distinct concentration of copper ions was embedded into the silica matrix to xerogel form using copper source cu(no3)2∙3h2o. the xerogel samples were prepared with using hydrolysis and condensation reactions of tetraethyl ortho-silicate (teos) by the sol-gel method. in this investigation, new molar ratio of h2o/teos was determined to be 11.7. also, the necessary amount of tri-hydrated coppe...

in the present study, a heterogeneous and homogeneous gas flow dispersion model for simulation and optimization of a large-scale catalytic slurry reactor for the direct synthesis of dimethyl ether (dme) from synthesis gas (syngas) and co2, using a churn-turbulent regime was developed. in the heterogeneous flow model, the gas phase was distributed into two bubble phases including small and large...

at the present study, different properties of sarin with the formula [(ch3)2cho]ch3pof was studiedin gas phase. geometrical optimizations of sarin, single point calculation, nmr and electricalparameters were carried out in gas phase with the hartee -fock method coupled to 6-31g* basis setsfor all atoms. the results obtained from a comparison between tables and charts came up fordiscussion and a...

background and objectives: the addition of plasticizers (mainly phthalates and adipates) makes plastic flexible and popular for packaging, storing and preserving food, water, and so on. the most widely used plasticizer in food contact applications is di-ethylhexyl phthalate (dehp) though being suspected to have carcinogenic and estrogenic properties. the aim of this study is application of magn...

theaim of the current study was to assess effects of different levels of origanum vulgare (0, 250, 500, 750 and 1000 mg/l) on kinetics of gas production, some ruminal digestion and fermentation parameters, methane production and also to determine its potential in controlling rumen acidosis using in vitro method in four separate phases. in the first phase, the asymptote of gas production (a) and...

in this study, mass transfer coefficients (mtc’s) of natural gas components during hydrate formation are reported. this work is based on the assumption that the transport of gas molecules from gas phase to aqueous phase is dominant among other resistances. several experiments were conducted on a mixture of natural gas at different pressures and temperatures and the consumed gas was monitored an...
