an oil and gas well cementing in gachsaran formation, where sustained annular pressure has been reported in many wells, presents a big challenge in maroon field. the main challenges are preventing gas migration and achieving zonal isolation using a competent cement sealant system which is able to withstand downhole stresses and high temperatures during production cycles. unlike conventional cem...

crops and agricultural products are subject to natural loading during growth. different mechanical forces are also exerted on them during harvest. one product, sugar cane, experiences large shear forces are during harvest. an examination of the crop properties and machine parameters of sugar cane are necessary to develop appropriate cutting tools and the optimization and design of harvesting ma...

silica refractory bricks are used especially in the metallurgical industries, due to desirable properties suchas high melting point, rigidity, and high temperatures strength. in this research, different amount of sicwere added to silica refractory containing different binders such as borax, boric acid, calcium nitride,sodium tri poly phosphate, sodium hexa meta phosphate (shmp) and lime. physic...

This experimental study investigates the strength characteristics of cemented super-fine unclassified tailings backfill (CSUTB) and its failure mechanism. Physical and chemical properties of tailings from the Zhongguan Iron Mine (ZGIM) were tested. A series of uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) tests was conducted to determine the relationships between UCS of CSUTB and three factors of cement-...

Methylolurea and carbamide were used to impregnate eucalyptus wood to improve its physical and chemical properties. The physical properties and dimensional stability were examined. TGA was used to evaluate the thermal stability of the wood. FTIR was used to state the changes of functional groups. The changes of wood structure were observed by SEM. The results showed the bending strength and com...

background and objectives: kefiran (kef) is a water-soluble polysaccharide that can form transparent film however, it is brittle. therefore, in order to improve the mechanical properties of kefiran film, a mixture with other polymers can be offered. the expansion of mixed systems can propose kefiran and polyvinyl alcohol (pvoh) as a new composite film. materials and methods: solutions of 20 gra...

aisi 4340 steel is one of the super strong steels that can be selected for different applications. by designing theproper cycles of heat treatment, the optimum microstructure and properties of this steel can be achieved. in thisstudy, different heat treatment cycles were introduced to achieve the optimum microstructure and improve themechanical and magnetic properties of aisi 4340 steel. the re...

utilization of long fiber chemical pulp to enhance the strength properties of mechanical and chemi-mechanical pulp is served as a common approach by the papermakers. therefore softwood long fibers were exposed to chemical modification by cationic agent, eptmac, with the aim of reducing its consumption. then, the cationised fibers were mixed with cmp pulp with given ratios and the handsheets wer...

in this study, functional properties of red bean, chickpea, lentil and canellini bean were evaluated. our results revealed that beans had the highest emulsifying capacity. this property was minimum at the isoelectric point (about 4) among all samples which is in concistent with their solubility curves. salt concentration of 0.5 m did not have a significant influence on emulsifying capacity but ...

the incorporation of boehmite nano-particles and its effects on the mechanical properties and bond strength of an experimental dental adhesive were studied.an adhesive solution containing ethanol, bis-gma, tmptma, hema and photo-initiator system (camphorquinone and dmaema) was prepared. silanized boehmite nano-particles were incorporated into the adhesive in different concentrations of 0, 0.2, ...
