Cubic equations of state combined with excess Gibbs energy predictive models (like UNIFAC) and equations of state based on applied statistical mechanics are among the main alternatives for phase equilibria prediction involving polar substances in wide temperature and pressure ranges. In this work, the predictive performances of the PC-SAFT with association contribution and Peng-Robinson (PR) co...

There are many difficulties in the purification of raw components and products. However, researchers are seeking better ways for purification. One of the recent methods is extraction using supercritical fluids. In this study, the phase equilibria of benzoic acid -supercritical carbon dioxide system were investigated. Regarding the phase equilibria of this system, the modeling of solid-supercrit...

The phase behavior of nitrogen + n-alkanes is studied within the framework of the statistical associating fluid theory for potentials of variable range (SAFT-VR). The effect of the quadrupole moment of nitrogen on the phase behavior is considered through an extension of the SAFT-VR equation that includes an additional contribution to the Helmholtz free energy due to quadrupolar interactions. A ...

This study investigated the utility of a 5-min high-intensity exercise protocol (SAFT(5)) to include in prospective cohort studies investigating ACL injury risk. 15 active females were tested on 2 occasions during which their non-dominant leg was analysed before SAFT(5) (PRE), immediately after (POST0), 15 min after (POST15), and 30 min after (POST30). On the first occasion, testing included 5 ...

Based on our research, the Self Affine Feature Transform (SAFT) was introduced as it extracts quantities which hold information of the edges in the investigated image region. This paper gives details on algorithms which extract various geometric information from the SAFT matrix. As different image types should be analysed differently, a classification procedure must be performed first. The main...

Synthetic Aperture Focusing Technique imaging has became a popular tool in the field of non-destructive testing in the past years. The acquisition procedure consists in collecting the data after activating elements one by one. The reconstructed object is then computed by adding the contribution of each channel, selecting the proper time delay values. It is the principle of the well-known delay ...
