the understanding of the dynamic behavior of distillation columns has received considerable attention because distillation is one of the most widely used unit operations in chemical process industries. this paper reports a dynamic simulation study of the possible distillation columns sequences of dew pointing unit in the second phase of south pars gas refinery. in this unit, three columns are u...

the study of wave and its propagation on the water surface is among significant phenomena in designing quay, marine and water structures. therefore, in order to design structures which are exposed to direct wave forces, it is necessary to study and simulate water surface height and the wave forces on the structures body in different boundary conditions. in this study, the propagation of static ...

abstract: in this paper, the results of experimental and numerical simulation of low velocity impact process have been carried out to investigate energy absorption of composite sandwich panels with 3d woven fabrics of glass fibers and epoxy resin. for this purpose, diagrams of force-displacement of the quasi-static and quasi-dynamic impact tests were studied. for the finite element simulation, ...

a new model is proposed for two-dimensional simulation of the concrete fracture in compression. the model generated by using the voronoi diagram method and with considering random shape and distribution of full graded aggregates at the mesoscopic level. the aggregates modeled by combining irregular polygons, which then is placed into the concrete with no intersection between them. by this new m...

in this study, we have theoretically investigated the effect of electron stopper layer on internal temperature distribution of high performance vertical cavity surface-emitting laser emitting at 1305 nm.  simulation software pics3d, which self-consistently combines the 3d simulation of carrier transport, self-heating, gain computation and wave-guiding, was used. simulation results show that cha...

in the present study, the kinetics of biodiesel production through transesterification of brassica carinata oil with methanol in the presence of potassium hydroxide is investigated by kinetic monte carlo simulation. the obtained results from simulation agree qualitatively with the existing experimental data. the kinetics data for each step of suggested mechanism are confirmed by simulation. by ...

in this study, first energy absorption of axial and bending loading is considered. next, thin walled structures under oblique loading are investigated using abaqus computer simulation, where 180 different cases are simulated. simulation results of the thin walled structures under oblique loading were compared with the experimental results of nagel, and good agreement was perceived. simulation r...

introduction relative dose computation is a necessary step in radiation treatment planning. therefore, finding an approach that is both fast and accurate seems to be necessary. the purpose of this work was to investigate the feasibility of natural cubic spline to reconstruct dose maps for linear accelerator radiation treatment fields in comparison with those of the simulation. materials and met...

objective: to systematically review the current literature of simulation in healthcare including the structured steps in the emergency healthcare sector by proposing a framework for simulation in the emergency department. methods: for the purpose of collecting the data, pubmed and acm databases were used between the years 2003 and 2013. the inclusion criteria were to select english-written arti...
