Effect of the number of detectors on an inversion problem of a scattering pattern by laser scattering method based on Mie scattering model has been investigated. The influence of the number of detectors is obtained by comparing a given size distribution and a calculated size distribution by computer simulation and experimental method. An observing range of scattering angles is from 0.0007 to 2....

Herein we describe the first synthesis of pure mono-disperse spherical hcp-nanocrystals ferromagnetic at room temperature. Our strategy, based on the simple combination of oleylamine and ClCo(PPh3)3, allows the one-pot synthesis of size-controlled hcp-nanocrystals. The size and shape of the nanocrystals can be tuned by varying the reaction time or the concentration.

Determination of nano particle size is substantial since the nano particle size exerts a significant effect on various properties of nano materials. Accordingly, proposing non-destructive, accurate and rapid techniques for this aim is of high interest. There are some conventional techniques to investigate the morphology and grain size of nano particles such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM)...

A novel strategy for designing ultrathin polypyrrole skin-coated carbon nanotube (CNT) nanohybrids is demonstrated by vapor deposition polymerization (VDP). The ultrathin skin technology provides a stable immobilization of the mono-disperse Pd nanoparticles (NPs) on the CP-CNT nanohybrid surface, leading to a high-performance hydrogen gas sensor at room temperature.

The controlling kinetics of the water solubility of two synthesized mono azo naphthalimide based disperse dyestuffs in the presence of two different dispersing agents namely Irgasol DAM and lyoprint EV agents at various temperatures were investigated. An exponential rate equation was found to describe the dissolution process. The addition of Irgasol DAM and Lyoprint EV dispersing agents increas...

Vinyl ester resins are widely used as matrix materials in particle and fiber reinforced composites. Nowadays, particles also preferred micron-sized microstructures to increase the mechanical properties of polymer In this work, vinyl composites with aluminum oxide 1-3 micron dimensions were produced. Mechanical such tensile, 3 point bending, hardness, impact wear specimens prepared investigated....

Amphiphilic cyclodextrin (CD) has been the object of growing scientific attention because of its two recognition sites, the cavity and the apolar heart, formed by self-assembly. In the present study, mono[6-deoxy-6-(octadecanamido)]-β-CD and mono[6-deoxy-6-(octadecenamido)]-β-CD were successfully synthesized by reacting mono-6-amino-6-deoxy-β-CD with N-hydroxysuccinimide esters of corresponding...

The University of California in collaboration with West Biofuels, LCC, has developed an advanced thermochemical gasification system (5 ton/day) for the conversion of waste stream biomass for the production of bio-fuels and bio-energy. The “Pyrox” gasifier design is based on a dual-fluidized bed system operating at atmospheric pressure with air. Simulation of this gasifier was conducted with a n...

A numerical investigation into the particle-turbulence interaction behaviour of dilute gas-particle flows over a backward-facing step geometry is reported. An Eulerian two-fluid model with additional turbulence transport equations for particles is employed. RNG based k-ε model is used as the turbulent closure wherein additional transport equations are solved to better represent the combined gas...
